I got 4 cups of green tea in today.
No losses to report. I've been up two pounds from my sig weight the past three or four days but didn't gain more after my Christmas feast. I hope to be back to 205 by Thursday. If not, I'll change my sig to reflect the gain.
C'mon green tea...work your magic!

Glad to see you all here!!!!!

Kim, I had a cup of coffee for the first time in 6 weeks on Christmas morning. I was actually craving it, how weird is that? It tasted sooooooooooo good!!!! But the tea thing hasn't changed my half and half consumption, since I use it in my tea too.

I stepped on the scale this morning, Between TOM and the holiday eating, I'm back up a few pounds. grrrrrrrrrrr. Back to the grindstone!!!!!

Hi everyone!

I am back on the LC wagon after quite a snafu. I am an enthusiastic Green Tea drinker so this challenge is right up my alley. But, for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the lovely Green Tea pic to show up on my sig. Can someone please refresh my memory??

Thanks, and I'm on my 4th cup today.

Labor Day Challenge: Focusing on the Journey
Personal Goal: 199 by 12/31/05

I've stuck to the green tea guns through Christmas and it has really paid off, I lost the waterweight I gained that put me a few pounds back into the 200's, and not to mention I wasn't really good on my LCIng on christmas day. But I"m back to eating right and going to keep on with my tea. Honestly, I have found that I enjoy drinking the tea much more than coffee or soda, now if I could drink less tea and more water. LOL

Still drinking my tea, drinking it plain, and enjoying it very much. It has certainly cut down on my coffee consumption. Only one or two cups of coffee in the morning time. Rest of the day, it's GT & water.

Hi all...I'm new here and am very interested in the whole green tea thing. There's just one small problem...I hate all teas. Is there a pill substitute I could take instead? Even if it wasn't quite as effective, I would want to give that a try.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh I am so glad to be back home, back to work, and back to posting. I really really enjoyed my holiday, but man it wreaked havoc on my normal day to day eating habits. No green tea for 3 days, extreme carb mania for 2 days, and very little water in, especially on that 15 hr drive back home. We had some ice and snow, didnt know that the highway would be so bad, so a 5 hour ride took 15hrs, I was sooooo miserable. Hope noone else had to endure that trip along 95 on sunday passing thru NC was herendous. Couldnt drink water, because then i would have to go and there was no exits for hours, so i may have gotten 4 cups of water in on sunday.

405 points to date ( HOLIDAY CHALLENGE )

Even though my eating for the past 3 days has not been LCing food-I have continued drinking my tea.

Dragonmom, I was the same way-a true heavy coffee drinker but since starting this challenge and drinking green tea-i'm down to may 3 cups a coffee a day adn sometimes only 2-thats quite a change from probably 2 pots of coffee a day. I look forward to the tea now.

Tomorrow, back to lc food-more green tea and need to up my water consumption big time. Between carbs, no water and tom coming, i am bloated badly.

I feel like I can be honest here among friends. So, I will just tell you all that I've been about 75% off plan since last Thursday. My eating has been bad. I've taken my supplements about once every three days. I've only had a cup of green tea about every other day, and I've not exercised at all. The only thing I've done right is get more rest!

I want to start my personal green tea challenge over. I'm having a cup right now. I brewed some this afternoon before logging in here.....and I want to start over! My official start date will be tomorrow, December 28. Six weeks from that date will be February 8. I will drink my 2-3 cups of green tea every day, and try to lose 10 pounds in the process. I will also weigh in tomorrow....(YIKES!!) to get an official start weight.

Now, I wish I hadn't erased the green tea logo from my signature! I'll try to get it back in there now. Thanks in advance to all my understanding friends. Hopefully I'll do better in 2005!
