Ladies, do you mind if I join in?
I've just started on my weight loss journey (again) as I've gained approx 35kgs in three years and it needs to go...
I've decided to do a specific diet which is low in carb as I need something specific to focus on to start me off on my journey.
I know Specktra is a great group of people so I figured I should probably start posting in this part of the forums too as I know I will receive support...

Everyone is welcome here!
You write whatever is on your mind, whatever can help you to go throught your journey
For breakfast I didnt eat a lot, I just had a coconut/banana yogourt with some All Bran buds in it. I had a granola bar ealier.
For lunch, it's the same than yesterday.
I wish I could go walk during lunch, but it's FREAKING cold outside. -20 yesterday, -19 today. It was snowing when I walked this morning. Almost got killed by those stupid people on the sidewalk. They all just get out of the metro station, all walk in the same direction and don't care if there's other people walking in the oposite direction. I went mad and kept walking/pushing them to try to go to work
I was out of breath at the end.
But it feels good to breathe fresh winter air

Good morning everybody, and welcome to our new ladies.
Today is my day off, so no workout for me. I definitely need to go buy more free weights, the ones I have are still challenging for my weaker muscles but for my biceps, for example, they really aren't doing it anymore. And if I go back to the same store, they're only $3 each! I'll probably get two sets so I don't have to back a third time when I get stronger again.
I'm having a cup of chai tea right now. No coffee today, just lots of tea. In a bit I'll have a bowl of plain yogurt with nuts and honey. I've got a cabbage in the fridge that I want to do something with, so I'll have that today. I also want to have a plate of peas and corn, because it's a complete protein and I want my muscles to be able to build up after my workout yesterday. I might also have a piece of fish with some wild rice. I don't mind having animal protein two days in a row if it's not red meat.

I'm not sure of the specific benefits of different types of tea, I drink double spice chai, green, and chamomile. Chai because I love the taste, green because I also like the taste and it's very good for preventing cancer, especially of the digestive tract which I have a family history of, and chamomile because that's what my mum gave me when I was little and couldn't sleep so I find it very soothing.
Some other yummy types are english breakfast, irish breakfast, earl grey, orange pekoe, and herbal teas if you're into that. Lol, can you tell I'm half British? There's a tea for every situation!
ETA: If you do start drinking tea, try to drink it without sugar. Add a little honey if you absolutely must, but you don't want your "healthy" drink to be loaded with sugar.

Green Tea is a Natural Diuretic .. I have no knowledge of the other types
Green Tea is good for people who want to lose weight. Many diets reccomend the consumption of at least two to three cups of green tea a day. This acts as a natural diuretic.
Green Tea contains anti bacterials that prevent food poisoning as well as tooth decay.
It also has cosmetic benefits – Green Tea extracts help the skin to reduce wrinkling, leathering and premature skin aging. Some evidence suggests that green tea reduces the risk of skin cancer.

I think caffeine in general is a diuretic. So, if the tea your drinking has caffeine you're gonna pee a lot.
I think the health benefit of tea is the antioxidants. Green and black tea have been found to have many times more antioxidants than some fruits and veggies...

hey there chickies...
well I had a healthy dinner last night (it's currently 11am) which consisted of a pork stir fry with snow peas, baby corn and mushrooms
Then I made a yummy dessert from my cookbook of stewed rhubarb and apples... it was really good! and best of all I was "allowed" to have it on my diet! yay!
The best bit was that I hopped on the scales this norning (day 3) and so far I have lost 1.1kgs
(which I know is probably all water retention)
