Questions on green tea

[bedtimestory]

Hi everyone. I am 24 years old and female. I have been looking for healthy ways to lose some weight. I am an active person. I work out everyday and I eat pretty much right. Well one day I saw one of my friends drinking green tea without sugar. I thought the idea was great because I am always cold and so this way I would be drinking water without the calories, without being cold and with a little bit of green tea taste. The thing is that I have been noticing a  bit of a weight loss since I'm drinking it. I cannot even say that exercising has helped because I have not exercised in 2 weeks due to final exams, work, lack of time in general. My question is Has anyone here experienced weight loss out of drinking hot green tea? It also suppresses my appetite and so during lunch hours I'm not hungry at all. I still eat my lunch though. I only drink one cup of tea every day. I'm not going through depression or anything of such sort. Is it possible that I've lost weight thanks to green tea in the morning? (It's not a significant loss but still..it's a loss) Also, is it true cold water is better when it comes to weight loss? I drink a gallon of cold water everyday and believe me it is not easy because my office is cold so it seems to me as though I am in Antarctica. Any answers/comments will be highly appreciated. To all of you trying to lose weight just keep it up!!! Good Luck

Have an awesome day y'all!!!

Oh well you've lost almost 20 pounds and that is great. Congrats!! :)

Look I get lazy before and after work, unbelievable but true. I am not a morning person and whenever I work out in the afternoon my stomach bloats and I start to get upset and cannot concentrate and just stop lol. Therefore I have decided to work out in the morning on an empty stomach. I've had great results this way. I understand your struggle since we are on the same boat.
It is very hard to keep myself where I'm at because I was once overweight although it wasn't for a long time but for 8 months or so (but still...it's tough).

Anyways, I am still drinking my green tea so I'll keep you updated on my progress. Right now I'm at 136 lbs and I'm 5'3. I would like to lose  6 pounds but it is really hard. It has also been hard to get to this point so I will not give up now. Best wishes to you. Keep it up.

Thanks!

Aww, thanks! I've been making the big sacrifices, too! I have always struggled to stay thin. I've actually lost 19.5 lbs total since I started watching my calorie intake back in January. I can't wake up early to exercise!!! I highly admire you for doing that!!! I like to work-out in the evenings, but I admit I do get lazy when I know I have to work out right after work! LOL.

Well thank you for your post. You may be absolutely right. Perhaps green tea is working for me. I have been reading your posts. You lost 2 pounds. Congratulations to you, too. I know it is an effort to be where you want to be at. I go through the same thing and that is the reason that I make huge sacrifices like getting up at 5:00 am to work out and fighting temptation at work, school and home. It is very hard mostly when you are the type of person who loves food, like me and that is why you have my respect as well as live4fitness. Have a nice day.

Sweet tea has been advertised as being a natural weight-loss supplement. I never drink it often enough to know whether or not it's true, but it just may be working for you! Congrats!
