Losing Weight too Fast

JeremySettles13

So I have been using my fitness pal since the day after thanks giving and everything seemed to be working fine. I was losing a pound to a pound and a half a week. Some weeks were a little slow. Some weeks were a little fast. Lately my friend recommended Green Tea to me because he says it helps you feel full(Which was a problem I sometimes had), helps speed up fat burning, and has tons of other health benefits. So I have been. Twice a day. Everything stayed the same until about a week and a half ago I weighed 222. I was 222 probably for a week and then I woke up every day and had a different weight. I went to 218. Next day 217. 216.5. 216.215.5 and so on until I woke up today at 214. I trying to do everything the same. Sometimes I don't meet my calorie goal, but on a bad day I still eat about 1700 calories. My goal is 2290. I do play basketball everyday and have been trying to eat my exercise calories but sometimes I am just so full that I can't. Of course I love losing weight this fast but my biggest scare is that I am losing weight unhealthily. Does anyone have experience in something like this?

Thanks you.

Yes!!!!
Last week I was shocked to see that the scale went down 4.4lbs! Then another 1.5 the next day! The wierd thing was that I hadn't gone to the gym all week! I know people say it's just water weight and fluxuation, but I'm very consistent with my water intake and what I eat, but I had been upping & becoming obsessed with drinking green tea, I find it's a habbit I have when work days are slow :laugh: Well, it obviously wasn't just fluxuation, because one week later, I'm still sitting at the same number. So, I've been chugging the tea all day yesterday & today to see what else can happen!

Anyways, best of luck!!

I lost 15 pounds my first month. Mainly because I was drinking more water and exercising. It will probably start to taper off. If it doesn't, then I would worry.

Yes, green tea helps to flush the toxins out when you are burning fat.............

And it is a metabolism riser....................

I like Celestial Seasonings.........decaf green tea.

I think for me, it partially has to do with the drinking warm liquid & constantly having to go to the bathroom because of it! haha, I don't know the exact reason, but I drink a variety of differnt flavors and brands of tea.
