I am trying to lose weight by drinking water but I am worry that I might gain weight by drinking too much water.

No water has no calories you can not loose weight by drinking water.
The more you drink the more you pee back out, but drinking too much water is not a good idea. You won't loose weight you will just have to pee more.

I've asked some questions on your other thread. Water is good for you. Drinking too much water is not good for you, it can help to leach essential minerals etc out of your body.

It will make you feel full for a while longer reducing your desire to eat,so in that respect it will help but not a good idea long term.

And in some cases can lead to headaches - I've suffered with this myself and didn't even realise.

There's only one thing you need to lose weight- that's self-control.

If you have half a pint of water about an hour before mealtimes this will help. It doe not have to be cold water it can be hot. By doing this you will not need as much food. The other thing is, when you eat between mouthfuls put either your sandwich or knife and fork down between mouthfuls and chew slowly and thoroughly you will soon get full and then leave the table as though you could eat a little bit more but don't .
