Green tea and weight loss?
So I've read on a couple different sites that green tea can really help boost weight loss. I know it's no magic solution but has anyone drank green tea consistently while working out and eating well.

Getting bigger before you get smaller?
It's week two of getting back on track. When I was in top shape I was doing 5 days/week in the gym. 3 days weights and two days cardio. Now, I can't remember at the start of that last journey if I felt bigger before I got smaller. All of the reading says a lot of people complain about feeling larger, bloated etc. for weeks…

Battling Negative Thoughts - Suggestions?
Hello! I am VERY new to posting on MFP, however I have been a member for quite some time, flip flopping back and forth.

Is exercising three days/wk enough?
Hello! This is my first time posting on MFP, I read often but thought I would take the plunge and get some opinions! I am currently 127 lbs and am looking to get down to 115 lbs by August 1/14.
