So this is gonna be an experiment for me!!! Eat a healthy portion!!!!

thats so good laurenasha! you must feel brilliant, im chuffed for you! 
I think your right, I need to get at least 2ltr of water down my neck - some days its easy but others its not!
Did another 1hr cycle last night! I had a banana with ice cream and a little bit of squirty cream so I did the exercise to burn it off!
Chika come on, you can do it! Think about WHY you want to lose weight and how good life would be when you do lose weight - even if you lose just a little bit! I'm not accepting any excuses for giving up! If I'm not giving up then neither are you!!
Might have to get myself some green tea, see if it helps - do you reckon herbal tea would do the same job?

Thanks ladies. Had an ok day today and even went for a walk at lunchtime. I just tried on my fave dress it is still a little tight but now the sun is out I need to wear it! Going to go to the gym later and burn of some calories.
Green tea is ok. I hated it at first but persevere. The flavoured ones can be really lovely, Tesco do a clipper strawberry one that is gorgeous. Holland and Barret also have a pomegranate and blueberry one that tastes amazing too. Also don't put super hot boiling water on it and don't let it brew too long. The longer you leave it the more bitter it gets. HTH

Just had a blinding dinner, thought I'd share the recipe with you. Its a moroccan dish I got the recipe from MyFitnessPal and its like a curry but not sauce-y so I had it in a tortilla wrap with some rocket salad and it was bloody lovely!!!
1 tin of chick pea's drained (or you can use (quorn) chicken peices or a mix of both like I did)
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 red onion, chopped
1 spring onion, chopped
Moroccon spice mix (half tsp hot chilli powder, 1tsp of tumeric, 1/2 tsp ground coriander and 1/2 tsp of ground cumin)
Fry light
Soften onion in fry light, add garlic when onion is soft. Then briefly add the spices for a few seconds before adding the chopped tomatoes, spring onion and quorn (or meat) and/or chick peas. At this point I added about 100ml of warm water to juice it up a bit. Then allow to simmer for 10 mins and serve!
You can really bulk it out with veg too, I used about 1/4 of what the recipe made in a fajita and on a salad with dinner. But you can make it into into a curry with rice and it'll do about 4 dinners at least or you can have it on its on and it makes about 2-3 servings (depending on your preferential serving size!)
I cant leave it alone! I keep nibbling at the left overs I'm meant to have for my lunch tomorrow! lol

Glad to see you back, Chika!
And that Moroccan dish sounds amazing, Sherri! Will have to try it when I'm in the mood to cook!
Chickpeas are what Falafel is made from, but you can whack them into most saucy things to bulk them out and are found in lots of curries & Indian foods. They sort of have the consistency of the inside of a baked bean! I'm no expert on the tea-drinking situation, but I'm sure 7 cups of any kind of tea in a day would have anyone's stomach a little off! Maybe try to ease up on the tea a little bit and see if your belly improves.

Ditto that, I read years ago that green and black teas can have a laxative effect.
Chickpeas are harder than baked beans, but they absorb flavour so are really tasty.
This week seems to have gone really fast! It's almost my WI again already!
