Hello everyone

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie and I will be starting my diet tomorrow weighing at 16 stones and 7lbs. :break_diet: In the past 6 months I have put on around 4 stones and I want to lose around 5 stones. I don't know how well I will be able to achieve this but I am sure you all will support me and in return I will support anyone I can.

Wish me luck please

Just a quick question, how much effect does water have on your losess?

Personally, I don't think water consumption affects my losses at all, but your mileage may very. Staying hydrated, on the other hand, is very important, so drink your four pints a day.

I think you'll be able to achieve your goals very well. Just make a commitment to Cambridge, to stick to it 100% (which is the best you can do) and the weight will come off you. But if you think you need it: Good luck!

Hanging around these forums really helped me, so hopefully seeing a lot more of you during your journey

Thank you hun, it means a lot to hear encouraging words. I will for sure drink around 4 litres although my CDC said 3 would be sufficient.

I will for sure be hanging around here a lot , I have been reading the comments here and they are brilliant and people are soo supportive.

hey , welcome to the forum and to CD its an amazing diet if you stay 100% , its rthe fastest way you can loose weight without removing a body part !!!
As long as you drink at least 4 pints ( 2.25 litres ) and have extra if you have tetras , porridge or bars then you will stay hydrated . I drink 3.5 litres every day and this suits me just fine

If you stay positive , drink when you get hungry , come on here for support and advise , and remember it does get easier after the first week then you will loose that 5 stone in no time

Hello and welcome this diet is brilliant, you have made a good choice. Not sure about the water but I struggle drinking all of mine!

hi and welcome

remember to drink enough but not too much. keeping busy will help take your mind of things too.

a couple of years ago i did cd and lost 5 1/2 stone in 4 1/2 months. in the first 2 weeks i lost 15lbs. then i got pregnant and put on 5st it happened last time with my daughter but i ate badly this last time i ate well and exercised too but still put on 5st anyway what i'm trying to say is that by april next year you could have lost that 5st if you stick to cd 100%! the time will go quickly too. i'm off tomorrow for my 4th weigh in!

Thank you guys for the motivation, drinking 4 pints is duable I misread and thought it was 4 litres silly me !! But all this motivation and success others have achieved has boosted my self-confidence and now I believe in this.

I am a student so soo many deadlines to catch up on this will surely keep me busy and water will be my journey mate .
