Just remeber, water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon.  If you drink all the
water you are supposed to drink on the plan, you are injesting 4 pounds of
water.  Add a salty meal to the mix and water retention can vary your weight
6 pounds easily from day to day.  Being adequately hydrated is important for
weight loss as well as general overall health.

Don't sweat the day to day water weight changes.  I track my weight on a
spreadsheet and look at the long term trend (3-4 months), not the day to day
stuff.   I have a spreadsheet with both weight and percent body fat on the
same page.  My bathroom scale will measure both and I think it is helpful to
see the changes in body fat beside the overall weight.  If my weight changes
for the worse (up, of course), I like to see if my percent of fat
composition also changed.  I am working out a lot lately and while my weight
has not decreased much in the past months, the percent body fat has.  I am
losing the bad stuff while adding muscle.  No net change of weight, but a
positive movement overall which the scale alone won't tell.

If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet, drop me a line and I am glad to
share with the group.
