I've been retaining water like crazy. My feet and legs are swollen and I've been feeling sick. I'm so bloated that I gained 8 pounds in 4 days. How do you get rid of water weight? This is messing with my head and getting me discouraged. Awwww!!!

    You need to know why you are retaining water. Hormones? Extra sodium? Illness? You haven't been drinking enough?

    Anyway, drink lots of water, as it will help flush out all but illnesses.

    You aren't feeling well, and you have swelling in your limbs. You should see a doctor to rule out any serious causes for your edema.

    OP you're posting in the "GOAL to GAIN weight forum". You might want to get your post moved to the general weight loss forum. As I assume your goal is to not gain weight?
