Too much water?

s there such a thing?

I have been upping my water since Monday for 2 reasons:
1 - to flush out the booze bloat I have going on
2 - I have stopped drinking diet lemonade, so water has naturally replaced that.

Here's my issue - the scales are not budging! I weigh daily (don't lecture me, its what I do ok?) and this week I have gone like this

Mon 80.6
Tue 80.1
Wed 79.9
Thu 80.2
Fri 80.3

WTF? I am drinking around 4 litres of water a day - is this too much? Or will it eventually all come out (within the next 3 days....)

    could be water retention, my trainer advises me to drink around 2-3 litres a day as too much and it drowns our system and we hold it! unless your doing a huge training session on a hot day of course!!!

    If you're talking ounces, 80 = 2 litres, so no, you're good.
    I drink 3 a day, but I've always been a big water drinker.

    Why not weigh on Monday?

    Give it once a week and go with that, you will be up and down each and every day

    If you know that you have overdone it with the booze then give all the flushing out a little time?

    My official WI is on a Monday night, but I like to see what my body is doing throughout the week.

    I didn't over do it with booze. I don't usually drink but my in-laws were with us for 4 nights and I had a max of 2 glasses of wine each night. My last drink was Saturday night, and it's now Friday - usually by booze bloat would be gone be now.

    Maybe 4 litres is a bit much, might cut it down to 2 or 3 for a few days and see how I go....
