Hello everyone!
I am very curious if more water intake will help me lose more weight. I used to only drink about 2 to 3 glasses a day and I now drink close to 6 to 8 or more glasses a day! I just started this a couple of days ago along with exercising and when I weighed myself I weighed in 3 pounds more than i did when i first started exercising. Is that maybe caused by the exercise and building muscle or the water intake?

It could also mean that your sodium intake is high as well. Your weight will fluctuate through the week. I would give it a good week before you try weighing yourself again to see how the water "expirement" goes.0

I'm going to look into low sodium foods and make a list for the next time I go to the gym! I think with less sodium and more water, the weight will start coming off! I only plan on weighing myself once a week even maybe once every two weeks at first!0
