    Well, to be clear, I am going on vacation next week and wearing a bathing suit. I was thinking that shedding some water weight would help.

    Except it won't help at all. At least, not unless you plan on not consuming any carbs and/or keep sodium intake low. Which, I'd be willing to bet that on vacation, you'll be consuming plenty of both. As soon as you do, that water weight will come rushing back - and a decent chance at least a little more than you lost beforehand.

    I have heard that diuretics can help you shed water weight quickly. Do any of you out there use them and do they work? Which one do you use?
    Thanks.

    Don't use them. Get walking and stay within your calories and keep to a low sodium intake.
