Tea isn't a fat burner, fat is burnt when your body needs energy, anyone who tells you otherwise is full of it.  Save your money and drink water and exercise.

What green tea does is it actually helps to speed up your metabolism. So yes, it is good to help lose weight. As to how much to drink...I would say a lot.

I'm 29, and have always had a hard time. I have found that the easiest and most effective thing is to eat small amounts, several times a day. I don't even eat healthy all the time...I keep things like nuts, string cheese, summer sausage, etc...around, and just make myself eat something every couple of hours. I avoid fast food as much as possible, and when I do eat it, I order a kid's meal to help with portion control. When I sit down to a regular meal, I always take 1/2 of what I think I want, wait about 20 min., and then judge if I NEED more or not. The other big key is water...AT LEAST 8 servings a day, and more is better. NO regular pop. The fact that you are already in the habit of walking is great as well. Keep doing that, but maybe use a timer and try to go a little farther each day within your 30 min. That will increase your pace without taking more time. I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to try and do work and school at the same time, and still struggle to find time for housework and taking care of yourself...which always seems to end up the lowest priority. :)

Just do some pushups, and go for walks.  Eat more plant protien -- it absorbs better into the body.  So try getting chocolate soy protien bars, or putting some tofu into your stir-fry.  Also, try Silk's Chocolate Soy milk.  It's the best selling chocolate milk in America.\n\nTry excercising every other day, and make time to do it.  Excercise while you're on the phone, or get a friend to partner you and to hold you up to it.\n\nThe best way to keep a diet or excercise up is to reward yourself and be realistic.  Don't punish yourself.  You're making yourself healthier.  This should be something you enjoy.  So enjoy what you're reaping.  \nGo dancing, buy something that shows off your new body, indulge in a health snack -- like dark chocolate, or an occasional ice cream.\n\nYou need to still have some fat in your diet, and you do need to have some cholesterol, you just need the good kinds.  So don't hesitate to eat avacados every once in a while with a little salt, or gucamole, or chocolate.  Find something to reward yourself, and you'll be better at sticking to it.

my parents are both health fanatics. i, unfortunately, am not. However,  for a play i was in i needed to lose about 10 lbs to fit into the costume i was supposed to wear. I'm the type of person who hates going to the gym.. and loves chocolate.  I found myself in the same situation as you.. needing to lose the weight fast. So my parents suggested a reward program for me.. that would have negitive consequences if i didnt stick to it.  I ate about 5 SMALL meals at the same time each day, with half an hour of elliptical 3 days a week. I drank about 10- 12 glasses of water a day, and stayed away from foods high in sodium so that i would lose water weight.  I ate oatmeal as a breakfast with a chocolate flavored protein in it, which made it taste so amazing, i couldnt believe what i was eating was healthy!  I bought a dress that was too tight for me and threw away the tags as motivation.  It was different, and honestly annoying at first.. but after about the second week, i got into the habit and my body got use to doing exercise and eating semi-healthy foods and drinking lots of water. I have stayed in this lifestyle for about 4 months now, and i honestly couldnt be happier. I have energy and motivation in my life, not to mention how hot i look in that dress i bought!! I didnt think i could do it.. and it never worked before... but you can do it TOO!!  If you need motivation.. I believe in you. YOU can make it happen.

easy. just drink a lot of water and cut back on the amount of food you eat, especially cut down on the junk food and food that has a lot of sugar. keep doing this and you will mange to lose some weight. how much water to drink, figure 10glasses a day, it can be teas such as green or herbal so long as you don't put sugar or sweeteners in them. a bit of lemon juice is okay though.

you're still growing so you must not go on diet at this stage. i'll recommend you to take green tea.. it really works.. other than that, lower the intake of salt.. it helps for big thighs. and do not be lazy to walk. as in, if possible, walk around more.. green tea helps getting better skin and health as well.

You could try some laxatives and see if that helps. They make you miserable though. Or, if you drink the tea at Starbucks, three times a week, it will regulate you, or you can try that yogurt Activia, that works real well. If none of that helps, you'll have to go to the doctor because you could be too backed up for anything to help. Three times a week though isn't irregular, if that's regular for you.

Well my first suggestion would be to exercise.  Walking is an excellent way to start.  I would say to keep doing that.  I agree with one of the earlier answers to join the YMCA.  I belong there and have made many friends.  It helps to keep me motivated.  That being said, it sounds like you are an emotional eater.  ME TOO!!!  When I am upset, when I am happy, when I am depressed, when something good happens, when something bad happens etc.....  I use food to fix all issues and celebrate the good one.  \n\nSo I joined LA weight loss.  I love them.  I am only saying that as a suggestion.  But I will tell you what they taught me.  \n\nFirst and most important is journaling.  Write down everything you eat and be sure to include portion sizes.  \n\nNext I would concentrate on portion sizes.  Keep track of how much of each thing you eat.   Now you have a starting point to where you can start to make smaller portions and healthier choices.  \n\nIf you don't already, start eating more fruits, veggies and lean proteins.  Grill your chicken, steam your veggies and loose the fast foods.  I love chinese and have had my share of depressed chinese eating but if you find yourself there, just have a smaller portion and fill up on water.  \n\nThat is the next important point.  Drink water and pleanty of it.  At least, if not more, 8-10 8oz. glasses a day.  Stay away from soda as it is empty calories and makes you dehydrated.  \n\nAnd keep your chin up.  It will not happen over night but it will happen.  I have on my refridgerator a list of all the reasons I am trying to lose weight and what my reward will be.  I am 10 lbs from my goal and my reward is getting my belly button peirced.  I have lost over 50 lbs so far.  If I can do it, so can you.\n\nIf you would like to email me you can.  My personal email is ejniver@hotmail.com\n\nElicia

Diet, caffeine free, pepsi. Sure it's boring, but my beer days are over. Trying to cut down on the iced tea. By the way, do you notice how many people say ice tea and how many say iced tea?\nSeems about 50/50 to me. Might make a good question, your welcome to give it a try.

1. Have lots of Green Tea-works very well.\n\n2. Dates are a very good source of energy, almost like time release capsules, which keep you going all day long. But make sure you get fresh dates--and I mean the eating sort!

Yes, green and white tea contain caffeine. I drink 4-5 cups of tea a day (green, white, or black) and it's made no difference in my weight. To lose pounds you'll need to cut back on calories and exercise.
