Water-retention is the only thing I can think of... I'm getting so few carbs (and I am supposed to have some), few calories, I can't think of anything else it could be.

The advice used to be to only weigh yourself once a week. The daily fluctuations just make you crazy. That said, I would weigh myself every single morning and that weight shift could make or break my day.
600 calories is so very small. This is probably to teach your brain as much as your belly. The portions we're supposed to consume are less than half of what we get as a "normal" meal. Teaching your brain to expect something this size not that size as a portion is a big part of managing the weight.
Best of luck!

It's only been just over two months, and I can't believe the difference in what I now think is a meal. Thanksgiving Lunch at work, they gave us each a plate. It was probably six times the amount I could eat, and yet everyone else finished everything on it. (Last year I finished it and wanted another plate.)
I suspect you're right. Fluid retention should be on my suspect list, too. (Salt is the only food-pleasure I have left.)
