Last night I decided to do my measurement. (YUK) anyways, I was down 1/2``, but then decided to measure again this morning, and noticed that my waist was down 2` from last night. Im thinking its probably water retention at the end of the day. Anyone else have this problem, and what do I do

    Definitely! I never weigh at night because I retain fluids at the end of the day. Good for you...2 inches is great.

    thanks for the suggestions, and I did look up that website and it made a lot of sense. As to the 2" loss, im not sure if that is true, because when I did my original measurments I think I did them in the evening. Oh well, forge ahead.
    Thanks
