    Hi Guys!

    Does water make us gain weight? I'm drinking more water and gaining weight each time...

    Yes, water has weight. I'm always heavier when I drink a lot of water but.....it does flush out sale and other things from the body and eventually it all evens out.

    Weigh yourself early in the morning after you wake up before drinking any water after you use the bathroom. I think that will give the most consistent weight as far as water effects go since you should have about the same amount of water in you each day at that time (unless you ate some salty stuff or worked out hard).

    Water has weight, but obviously it isn't the same thing as fat. Sixteen ounces of water weighs a little over a pound. The body pulls water into the muscles to repair them after doing exercise. Also water is needed to burn carbs. Water attaches to glycogen and can cause water woosh. Other things that can cause water retention is stress and inflammation as well as eating salty foods, body's hormones, etc.

    Yeah. Don't let normal water fluctuations psyche you out. Stay strong and don't give up.

    Thank you :)

    Next challenge 53!

    Thanks for the support guys. Today or tomorrow I'll measure my hips.

    I'm always unsure how I should measure my hips... how tight should I be putting the measuring tape against my thighs?

    Snugly. But you have to be sure to do it the same tension each time you measure for accuracy. I pull the tape measure until it hits flat and smoothly.
    --tight enough to keep from sagging. Just make sure that there is no slack but not too tight.
