dezikontos

Hi All - Im really confused.
I have been trying to lose weight and i am sticking to 'good foods' but i find that the whole eating alot of veggies and drinking loads of water just bloats me, should i be weighing my veggies as well ?? and im drinking up to 3 litres of water a day does anyone know if thats right...or wrong ???
Im looking at competeing in sport this year and my coach has asked me to drop 5 kilos down to 56 kilos. i have 5 months to do it but i need to get those last kilos off but i still need to be strong and not starve myself
the whole eating veggies and drinking all this water is making me lose my mind i am to scared to get on the scales because of the water retention

im getting really confused

i dont know if anyone knows the answer to this or not

How long have you been doing this? And have you changed your workout routine? Usually the first week or so you can hold onto water weight

3l of water is a lot unless that is on your exercise days, otherwise 2l is fine + extra when exercising.
Not sure what your definition of a lot is re vege's but I recommended a minimum of 5 servings of vege + 2 fruit each day. A serving = half cup of chopped vege's (fresh green and coloured vege's, not the starchy ones,) or one piece of fruit. A small one if its a banana, two if it's mandarin or kiwifruit etc.
