Whoa! I switched from bottled water to a Britta filter on the tap about three weeks ago...about the same time I started gaining/retaining water. You may have hit on something. I decided bottled water was to dern expensive so i would just filter it with carbon. You think???

Thanks for the epiphany Jinx! I'll switch back to bottled water and see if that makes a difference.
