    Followed my calories all week. I had sushi twice which is pretty healthy, but a bunch of soy sauce which is all salt. Only explanation I can think of as to why I have almost no loss. Won't make that mistake again!

    Hi, @sra455

    I have definitely experienced massive water weight after a Chinese food meal. At home I use a reduced sodium soy sauce, and I now find the full salt version far too salty for my taste. It can take me a week or more to recover after a bad salt reaction. I hope your recovery is speedy.

    CW (July 23): 306.7 (down 0.2 lbs) finally! It's been a hard slog all week.

    Hoping to see a more dramatic loss next week as I win the battle with inflammation and swelling.

    You might have hit on your perfect number,when added to all other liquids you consume during the day: coffee, juice, milk, tea, pop, or liquid foods like soup. I have noticed that if I push too hard on drinking plain water on one day (when I'm not really thirsty), I'm frequently lower in water intake the next day, as in I cannot drink another drop or I'll barf.
