    Drink water to lose water. I hate regular plain water but there is at least a couple pound difference in the scale when I stick to pure clean water vs drinking the same amount of other liquids.

    You can't really just choose to lose water. It will naturally go away but if you gained weight from over eating during the holidays your chubby tummy isn't likely just water from a month and a half ago.

    stay very well hydrated and pee. Sounds simple but it's true.

    Water with cucumber slices, lemon slices, and mint. It'll detox your system naturally.

    Keep drinking water and avoid processed foods that are high in sodium.

    Drink lots of water; eat less sodium.

    2 months from now you'll go out for a nice dinner and the scale will go up 7 pounds in one day because you ate a ton of sodium.

    You can lose the water weight but there's not much point to it. As soon as you change your behavior it's going to come back. It's more important to focus on just eating healthy, building muscle and losing fat.

    Cardio with a trash bag. Cut a hole for your head and arms and tighten around your waist. Sweat your butt off doing cardio. Make sure to keep drinking water like they said though, don't get dehydrated.

    Never heard of this before, so putting cucumbers in water with lemon slices and mint works ? What about just cucumber
    and lemon or does it have to be all 3 ?

    Keep sodium levels consistent (either always high or always low, your body adapts to the amount of sodium you give it over time) and eat at a caloric deficit.
