Fluid loss, lost
... And now I weigh the same as before. Crash diets never work. To really lose weight, you need a responsible long-term plan of at LEAST a day or two.

It's about making a lifestyle change. But I gave up and regressed back into my habitual water drinking.

Ja - and you'll go nuts weighing yourself every day. I gained 5 lbs since this morning and I haven't even eaten much - and I'm sure tomorrow morning I'll be back to what I was this morning.

i used to eat wheat thins and drink vodka the day before my weight watchers weigh ins to make sure i came up as down in weight for the week. i usually did, which means i had to be losing at some point...

the moral of the story is, cheaters win & you should drink more vodka.

First of all, wheat thins and vodka is a great idea for a party theme. Second, it reminds me of a classic by Anthrax:

I wish I had some goddamn milk
My Cheerios just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn milk
Too bad the milkman never came

I can't go out to the store
I'll just wait till Mommy buys more
I'll just have wheat thins and beer
If I get sick the toilet is near

and now you've lost muscle mass and actually added more volume...

the muscle tissue is consumed by the body first (it has a higher density too); now fat cells are preparing for instances where you consume little or nothing (fat cells have a lower density, therefor 5lbs of fat will have far more volume than the muscle you lost.

toss in a few other lovely medical issues and you've got one hell of a party!

blood pressure
stomach lining decreases- leading to a higher incidence ulcers

(watch those kidney stones!)

(you've got to love the british medical journals- they are always soooo happy!)

1) Nearly all the mass I gained back came from water I had later in the day, not fatburgers.

2) I don't care how my fat cells respond in the short term, because in the long term they're in for a rude awakening.
