Starlight is absolutely right (of course
)
It's important to drink
enough water - that's 2.25 litres or 4 pints
plus the water in your shakes (minimum 225ml for each one) or, if you're having a bar, an extra glass of water to go with the bar.
But no, it makes little difference whether you drink more than that. If you find you're thirsty, then by all means drink more, but don't force it down for the sake of it.
And remember, losses will vary hugely on a week to week basis. Some weeks you lose 4-5 lbs, some weeks you won't lose anything (yes,
nothing! - even if you've been 100%). That's just how weight loss goes because scales can't measure whether you've lost fat but retained water.
People will try to tell you that you should always lose 3-4 lbs a week on Cambridge (including some CWPCs
), but sadly, you won't. You'll lose, over the course of a month, up to a stone (which
averages out at 3 and a half pounds a week). But you won't necessarily lose the weight in similar-sized amounts each week.
And if you haven't got too much to lose (and by the looks of things, Sap91, you haven't) realistically, weight loss will be more like 2 lbs a week). But take heart, cos that's still faster weight loss than you'd get on WW or SW (after the first week or two).
