Answer
Water weight is tough.  It is water we need to thrive on.  I have HEARD of using water pills, etc. to cut that down.  One big thing I have used is eating veggies.  NO fruits! espically before 2-3 days on weigh in.  It doesn't low you down on water Fruits have too much water-sugar which hits weight gain.  If you are a pound and half the day before .  I used to eat veggies; broccli-celery-carrots and wear a sweat suit that makes you sweat drinking little bits of water and somehow worked for me.  That doesn't always work though, I have been burned by that too!  Because it is almost 2 lbs. which is not always water weight.  Eat light but healthy!  That MAY get that weight off.  Hope that helps
