Water weight means you have water retention in your body. You know it’s water weight when you gained it over a short period of time – so, if you gained around one to five pounds overnight. Another sign of water retention is swollen extremities (hands and feet) – so, if your ring suddenly won’t fit or if your socks feel tighter and you see sock imprints on your feet long after you’ve removed them.
Another way to find out if you have water retention is to press your foot, ankle, or calf with slow, steady pressure, and if the indentation remains for more than a few seconds, its water weight.
