let's talk about water weight. man, what a trickster it can be! i was down to 253 last saturday morning but then had a "free" weekend. didn't overdo it but i had desserts, chips, that kind of thing. weighed myself again tuesday morning and i was at 259. wow! slowly working my way back down (254 this morning) but i guess that's why they say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day.
