You may lose a little but as soon as you start eating again, it will come right back. Besides, how long can someone just eat watermelon??

Eating only fruit a week or 2 will cause you to lose a lot of weight if you are very overweight but if you are a thin then you will not lose any weight. It is healthy also. See this site.

you will lose weight - both fat and muscle. You will most likely lose quite a bit of muscle which means that you will actually have a higher body-fat percentage at the end of the week = your body will be softer and flabbier and you will be in poorer health.
HERE ARE THE BASICS:
1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight. There are 3500 Calories/Lbs of fat. To lost one pound of fat/week you have to burn 3500 Calories/week more than you consumed. there are 2500 Calories in a pound of muscle.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.
As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.
Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.

Lets see, watermelon is sugar water with a little fiber thrown in so I think you will lose about as much wieght as drinking extra sweet tea for a week.

Sugar Buster diet doctors do not recommend watermelon because it is high in sugar.

it depends on how much you are eating.
But in the meantime, your body will recognize a deficiency in PROTEIN, FIBER, COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES and many vitamins and nutrients. This will cause your body to go into starvation mode, in which it will store your energy in the form of FAT as a reserve.
Eating ONLY fructose will also leave you exhausted, pale and effect your ability to sleep, as well as your ability to THINK clearly.
This is all around the worst diet idea I have ever heard of. Your body needs BALANCED nutrition, and you are starving it of just that.

Lose. But most of it will be water weight which will come back (plus some) very quickly.

Probably gain weight as watermelon is just sugars and water. If you use salt you will just retain more water.

I'm sure you will lose, but man you will have some bowel issues and you will gain it all back once you start to eat again

You will be very hungry but you will lose weight ... which you will put back on again when you start eating normally.
