    are you staying within the amount of sodium that mfp sets (which is 2500)? Did you exercise today and sweat alot? If the answer is yes to the sodium question then you are retaining water. If it is yes to the exercise question then you sweated it out. I hope this helps.

    be careful about how much water you drink... too much can be unhealthy.

    5 liters is a lot of water, but not so much that it would be unhealthy. Yes, your electrolytes can get out of balance with too much water. Yes you can die if you drink a gallon + of water in like an hour or less. But 5 liters is not that much. As to you not needing to pee much - wait until the middle of the night!! Dollars to donuts you'll be up 3 or 4 times!

    I was going to say something like this..................I drink a LOT of water and Green Tea through the day.........I go a lot, sweat a lot and get up at least 2-3 times in the night too...........

    Sometimes I feel like I am floating.

    5 liters spread out through the day is a lot, but not so much that it will hurt you. You basically have to consume HUGE amounts of water in a short time period to get sick from it.

    lol googled and

    Where is the phrase "Dollars to Donuts" from?
    Sometime in the 1880's, the phrase "dollars to doughnuts" became a popular way of saying one was fairly certain of something. It replaced the similar terms "dollars to buttons" and "dollars to dumplings". The new phrase had the benefit of alliteration to give it an extra kick.

    The combination of the two words seems to say that the dollars have a value, while the doughnuts are essentially "zeros", or shaped after the number zero, implying that they have no value.

    But as with most phrases, if you really try and figure out a somewhat literal meaning, you end up more confused than when you began! In the case of "dollars to doughuts", it really isn't worded in a way that we would understand as a bet, and with inflation, the value of a doughnut is oftentimes greater than a dollar! :)
