Not only is this the lowest weight I've ever been on a Thursday this year, but, more gratifying, this is the first time in a month I have lost weight on 4 consecutive days. I do not think I'm jinxing myself - I think the key is that I have stopped hyper-hydration, which I now believe contributed some erratic (and in some cases bizarre) weight swings. I think my lower limit, like yesterday, is around 96 oz, with maybe an upper limit of 140 oz. Of course, that is when I'm not doing anything that involves perspiration, when I would have to drink more to compensate.

And a shout-out to my sister Joan, for first suggesting this might be a factor.
