Many people will successfully lose weight with the help of oolong tea, but this is mostly because feeling full on tea means you'll likely eat less then usual. And drinking large amounts(of sugar and caffien free stuff) keeps you hydrated and prevents water retention and bloating.
You can take this approach using any caffien free tea (Green teas are especially good because of the antioxidants...healthy healthy healthy!! :)). But I make sure you drink it plain. Even better? Drink it cold. The body uses 1 calorie(NOT one kilocalorie) to raise the temperature of one CC of water by one degree. The body needs to raise water to boody temperature before it can be absorbed. So if you drink 1.5 L of 10 degree water a day, which your body needs to raise to 37 degrees.....well, you do the math.
Still, nothing beats a good diet and exercise. And you need lots of water anyways. This is best as a little way to kick up your metabolism--not a diet strategy.

Gentle person, there is no magic way to loose weight. Eat sensibly and exercise. Sorry , I know you have heard it before.
The only way to loose weight using Oolong tea is to take a tea enema three times a day. I do not think you want to do that.
Eat well, live long.
