The water isn't going to get stored any more than usual.  Your weight fluctuates.  Don't cut back on water!  You need it to flush everything out.  Just keep on, add more exercise, you'll see some movement.  And add more fiber to your diet!  One bowel movement a week isn't a lot.  Eat more greens, or take a fiber tablet if you can't get enough with your diet.

I'm glad you pointed this out.  I think its very bad advise to say that people need 8 glasses of water to lose weight.  This is wrong.  The body may need 8 glasses of fluid, but that can be any type of fluid, like milk, juices, coffee, tea, whatever.  I lost 80 pounds and have kept it off for over 5 years and drank water just when I was thirsty.  If I would drink 8 glasses of water on top of my other liquids, I would be totally bloated.\n\nI did drink more water when I worked in a steel foundry, but I would alternate it with a bottle of gatorade.  Gatorade has some electrolytes in it.  How did you restore your electrolytes?

How much water do you need?\n\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so you if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \n\n\nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day. \n\nEven apart from the above approaches, it is generally the case that if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate.

Water weight is actually an excess of fluid caused by high salt intake.  A good way to lose it is to drink more water, use a diuretic such as cranberry juice or an over the counter drug.  You will instantly notice a reduction in bloat and fatigue.  Decrease your salt intake too.

Depends on how much water you already hold. Some people could lose upto 7 lbs, but as soon as you drink fluid again, it will come back.

Drink lots of water, cut out a lot of salt, cut out a lot of sugar, walk as much as you can, don't sit around playing video games or watching TV.  Easy enough?  Cutting out the salt and drinking lots of water will drop a lot of weight fast because it will get rid of any retained water.

I agree with the other answers out there.  However, there's a misconception out in the world that drinking a lot of water will magically make you weigh less.\n\nIt certainly will help in your diet plan, but it is not a cure all.  It will certainly make you feel fuller and you'll burn some calories processing the water. However, I read that you'll burn a whopping 60 calories a day extra if you drink a 2 liter bottle of water every day. That's 4 pounds in a whole year (excluding exercise to and from the bathroom).  Probably not the goal you were shooting for.\n\nYour best bet to weigh less is exercise and healthy eating.  There's no magic method or pill.   Use a web site such as http://www.fitday.com to determine how many calories you need to eat and burn throughout the day.  It's free and they don't spam.  Check out magazines like Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Shape and Fitness to learn about exercise routines and healthy eating tips. \n\nThe bottom line is: educate yourself about your body and what goes into it. Practice what you learn and the weight loss will follow.\n\nGood luck.

2.5 LITERS BECAUSE \n\nIn the past few years studies have shown that many of us don't drink enough water for good health. Along with general healthy eating recommendations, most health promoters have urged us all to drink more water, particularly whilst exercising. The message has been strong - avoid dehydration. \n\n \n\nHowever, there is a different story emerging, especially amongst people who exercise. According to researchers almost as many exercisers are putting their health at risk by over-consuming water as drinking too little.\n\nDrinking water at every opportunity can cause serious problems, such as hyponatraemia or water intoxication. As the water content of the blood increases, the salt content is diluted. Consequently the amount of salt available to body tissues decreases, which can lead to problems with brain, heart and muscle function. \n\n \n\nInitial symptoms of over-hydration include dizziness, nausea, apathy and confusion. However these symptoms are also associated with dehydration - so it's important to be aware of how much you are drinking.\n\nIs there cause for alarm? The British Dietetic Association guidelines state that an average adult should consume 2.5 litres of water per day. This intake needs to be increased during periods of hot weather or during and after periods of physical activity. \n\n \n\nYou can get your daily water requirements from sources other than pure water - your cup of tea counts! Water is the main ingredient of all drinks – carbonated drinks and still drinks, fruit juices and fruit and vegetables all have a high water content
