Have u found WATER to help you drop lbs?

Absolutely.

I've heard water helps speed up metabolism, but I'm sure on that one haha. Generally for me it really helped not over eat, if I drank 2 cups of water before each meal. Maybe that's helping you?

No.

Regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle has helped drop the pounds. Water just helps keep me hydrated and feel full.

I agree completely

Drinking more water helps your body to drop water weight. Lots of benefits to staying hydrated but hard work and making calories count are the reward and most helpful to me.

Of course water is important to losing weight. The more hydrated you are the better all your systems work.

I do. Water helps a lot with my weight loss.

I don't know if it's helping me lose weight per se, but the more water I drink, the better I feel and the less crud I drink and eat.

it is possible to drink too much water, causing low sodium balance and in severe cases neurologic complications.

I swear by it now. Obviously it's not the only reason for weight loss but it did help me, up until recently I was terrible with my water intake and always felt dizzy, tired and lacking energy but then I really concentrated on getting water inside me and now it's what I drink most. With that, I have lost more weight than I have done before because now I can exercise and just do more without feeling terrible. I never realised until now, just how amazing water is.

I just read this article and I found it to be very interesting:

Dr. Brenda Davy, associate professor of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech, presented at last year's obesity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, showed that people who drank two glasses of water 20 to 30 minutes before every meal lost weight more quickly initially and lost significantly more weight than those who didn't.

In another study by Davy and her group, published last year in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, she found that people who drank water before meals ate an average of 75 fewer calories at that meal.

Finally, it is very difficult for the body to differentiate hunger from thirst. If you don't drink enough water throughout the day, you may mistake thirst for hunger and eat more than you really need, which can also impair weight loss. So staying well hydrated is important, particularly if you are trying to lose weight. And don't forget to eat lots of water-based foods like soups, vegetables and low-fat dairy, which are equally important for weight loss, as they lower the calorie density of meals. That can help you reduce calories without reducing portions.

Drinking massive amounts of water (gallons and gallons) can cause a dangerous condition known as hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood), which can cause confusion, irritability and seizures and may even lead to a coma.

This condition is very rare in healthy people but can sometimes be seen in the elderly or in endurance athletes who sweat significantly and drink water only to replace lost fluids. Most people should be far more concerned with not drinking enough water versus drinking too much.
