Yeah this water thing is really working for me. I was at 143 then after going into OWL (only upped my carbs by about 5) I went up to 146.5 within a few days. So I increased my water, drinking a lot of it and cutting out my usual kool-aid with splenda and wala - today I weighed in at 142.5. I've noticed that since I started Atkins I always gain a few pounds for a few days or a week and then a lose it all back with an additional pound. Hey, as long as it's going down in the long run I ain't complainin'!
