water is a magic part of my weight loss. I find when I slack on my water (anything less than a gallon a day) my body tends to bloat and hold onto anything I put in it.

I've also become more sensitive to sodium or maybe more aware of it. I can count on being up a pound after eating out or eating prepared foods.

I've been down on water, and ate out a bit too much last week and my fingers feel like fat sausages, so I know the scale is also going to be up.

You might want to try changing up your gym routine too. I try to do upper body weights at least twice a week to keep my body moving in different routines.
