A Pint's a Pound the Word Around

A pint (16 fl oz) of water weighs a pound (16 oz). There are 2 tablespoons in a ounce so 0.1 lbs = 1.6 oz = 3.2 Tbsp.

Drinking a cup of water will (temporarily) increase your weight by a 1/2 pound.

An extra 3 tablespoons of water in your system will add 0.1 lb to your weight.

I'm not saying this to avoid drinking water. Drink lots of water. It's important and healthy.

I'm saying this to account for daily variations in weight and to make myself feel better when some days don't look as good as others.

I'm in this for the long haul, not just to see daily drops.

Stay strong!
