Reply from kathryn, Age 17 - 04/23/05 - IP#: 84.160.220.xxx most deff water weight-thats what happens when you dont eat enough. Just becareful when you go back to normal eating that you dont do it too fast cuz right now your metabolism is really slow from lack of food, so if you eat a normal portion, you wont burn the right amount of calories to loose weight.! good luck! hope you feel better!
