Rozie: how did green tea help you? I have some green tea with strawberry. Does it have to be pure green tea or can you have it with other flavors in?

hi, well I'm re-joining class on thursday night, I'm gonna pay for a 12 week countdown and hopefully that will force me to go every week and actually stick more to it during the week.
Roziee sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time, I'm here if you need me.
I'm going to start tomorrow with water challenge, will try starting food tomorrow as well but don't get paid till tomorrow so it will have to be a hodge bodge of whatever I have in.

I will keep a food diary in my diary on here so hopefully the weeks where it's gone well I can repeat and the weeks where it's carp I can see why.

Looking forward to losing weight with you all again.

hey loony.. that is a good idea. when i was in group it did help going because i wanted to make sure that i had a good loss at group. it was just a shame that i had a carp group that i joined and i left after a few weeks...

Definitely try the green tea Emma.. I never drink it hot.. It's not something I enjoy drinking so I just gulp it down once it's cooled down! Lol add some sweetener in it so it's palatable too..

What are your plans for tomorrow?

 

[emma3662]

Tomorrow? Finish book if I havent already actually cook and th 30 day shred haha oh and drink green tea i'll probs put a slice of lemon in I dont mind th taste too much i've had chinese tea before and that is terrible for rushing to th toilet but its meant to burn fat and probs too much info but it makes you smell so bad haha xx

Hey!

I drink green tea regularly now, I have the Clipper one with lemon but I also just bought white tea with vanilla which is nice. I don't know if it's the tea or not but I don't have the appetite I used to. Don't get me wrong, I could definitely still overeat or eat the wrong things but I'm finding I'm eating when I'm actually hungry not just because I want something, well more of the time anyway. It did take a couple of weeks but I actually like the taste now. Apparently it's better if you leave to water for a couple of minutes after it boils before you pour it over the tea, it doesn't get such a bitter taste. Something about scorching the leaves if the water is boiling.

As for exercise, I'm going to aim to walk the dog for a bit longer each day and go to the gym at least twice a week. Build up gradually to see how it affects my appetite.

I like the idea of following each others food diaries, would give us all meal idea's too. I'll write mine down from tomorrow and post at the end of a week. It'll probably help to keep me in check if I know people will see it!

Hey Sarah

Yeah wen I was drinking green tea regularly I stopped tea and coffee completely.. Didn't have a cup for 3 weeks at one point!

I've heard that too about scorching the leaves although I just used to brew it for a minute and then take the yea bag out and it was ok to drink for me..

Can't wait to see your food diary! X

Yay!

Another thing I'm going to do this week girls and boy..

I'm going to have a SE meal a day at least. I want to try to have 2 meals a day but definitely breakfast will be SE (that's 2/3 SF and 1/3 free). I'm thinking of doing breakfast and dinner so I can reduce my carb intake and boost my loss hopefully.

Breakfast is going to be scrambled eggs, toast and fried mushrooms, onions, peppers and tomatoes.

Lunch will be my normal lunchage.

Supper with be SE..
