Since I have started drinking tea...

This is why many people advertise tea as 'weight loss product' =)
It's not a diet product, but it does 3 things that make people confused:
- Lowers appetite (we eat less)
- Increase metabolism (we burn more calories doing nothing)
- It is a substitute for other drinks (tea = 0 calories, a coke ~ 100)
plus a 4th (not so) secret one: If you think you are on a diet, you will watch yourself from over consuming. Good luck! Great chart and great progress

Don't forget benefit no 5 - extra cardio from walking to and from the bathroom as a result of all the tea drinking ;)

oh this counts both toward weight loss and "detox" =)

I think another thing is it gives you something to consume when you are bored looking for a between meal snack.

Ah the good old placebo effect. Lately I like to tell myself that tea makes me active and more productive, and let me tell you it's really working! Strangely enough, it didn't used to... :D

I enjoy that it spikes at Christmas ;)

Jeebus! How much beer were you drinking? :P

There's a 2lbs a week on average which is quite a good rate of wait loss. Anything more and I would be worried :-p Perhaps OP is doing more than just switch beer.
A pound of fat tissue holds like 3500 calories right(pure oil is 4800 IIRC)?? You're average lager is like 145 calories IIRC so that's like 24 beers per pound. To lose 2 lbs in a week you need a 48 beer deficit. Wow! However these kinds of arithmetic rarely translate over to real life.

7 beers a night huh? That sounds almost doable (well, not really)... Maybe he likes malty stouts? :P

Well, I switched to Cheerios for breakfast too, but I credit the tea.

So I decided to switch to drinking a cup of tea every time I think I want a beer. Here are the results so far.
If I drank a beer for each time I drank a cup of tea, I'd be a severe alcoholic.
Does that make you a tea-aholic?
I rarely make it through a day without drinking 3L of tea.
That's about two thirds of a gallon, you crazy colonial plebs.
