No - and the people who are saying yes are stupid.
Sweating itself does not help you lose weight - you regain that lost water when you take in fluids... it is the exersise that causes the sweating that helps you lose weight. If you are sitting around sweating - you are not losing weight.

If you're sweating because it is hot outside, no you won't lose weight, you're sweating to stay cool. This water will be replaced when you rehydrate.
If you sweat because you are working out hard in a aerobic class yes you'll lose weight because you're burning fat. Remember your workout must be at least 30 minutes 4-6 days a week for weight loss.

Unfortunately the answer is no. Unless you are sweating because of exercise and even then it is the activity burning calories and not the sweating that causes the weight loss.

Well, sweating is just a cooling technique used by your body, but it does help a little bit in losing weight. Youre actually more or less losing water weight, but its still a factor I guess

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Only if you are on a diet. Remember, sweat means thirst and surely you will re-water soon after!

Yep, temporarily, that's what the boxers do to meet weigh in qualification. You only lose water weight though and gain it back wants you drink anything.

You lose the weight of the water in your body, not the fat. That means you are dehydrated.
