How Much Water Weight Can You Have In Your Body?
Setting aside the diseases which can cause really gross water retention (these are mostly diseases of the heart, kidneys and liver), it is quite common to retain up to 10 lbs of water weight. (That means excessive or abnormal water retention, not the water that needs to be in your body to prevent dehydration.) Occasionally a few individuals can hold up to 20 lbs of water retention.
