Thread: The Curvy_Chicken Chronicles - I AM Gonna be Slim!!!!

Well here's my first diary posting from my blog to here...

Starting Weight and MiniMins

After much avoidance - this morning I finally weighed myself. I weigh fourteen stone and five pounds - I need to lose five stone and five pound to get to my target weight of nine stone. This week I've been so good about healthy eating and exercising, my target does feel attainable - I know it might take a year - but I've got to accept that this is not going to happen quickly, but it can happen.

Yesterday I joined the weightloss forum - MiniMins and that also has helped immensely - just hearing and seeing how others have lost weight is inspirational. And MiniMins also suggested that I copy my diary and fashion review posts on to the forum and I got loads of compliments about my writing here which made me feel fab!

Urghhh all day today I have had the most vile hangover...

...Last night I went clubbing with my best friend - we had such a laugh and I had the best night out clubbing I've had in ages. But I drank so much - I was horrified this morning when I counted up how many units of alcohol I had last night (drank diet coke and vodka all night...).

I got home at 1:30am and got up at 7:00am which was very, very hard. I felt soo rough I couldn't face porridge. However I did manage an apple . After much tea and water I felt better and at lunch time I was ravenous! When I got to the cafeteria I desperately, desperately wanted a burger and chips and faffed around a few minutes, confusing the poor woman trying to serve me. When I'm hung over I crave meat badly and I wanted that burger so much. However I calmed my self down and opted for the salad and jacket spud instead.

I'm soo relieved that I got through that first craving - I hope it does get easier and my will power grows (does it???!!!).

Feeling particularly good at the moment as I have just come back from playing squash with my boyfriend.

Anyway rant over with.

Hi Curvy_Chicken,

Wishing you success with your weight loss journey and I hope both of us get to see 9 stone on the scales

Thanks Mini!

Hiya Curvy_chicken, sounds like you had a good night out!

I suffered today but I had a great time

Okay so I do more exercise than normal.

I eat less than normal and healthily.

And yet according to the scales I have gained one pound in a week!

GRRRRR!!!!! Very hacked off about this!

Did my scales lie initially? (i weighed my self at the same time as last week, after morning pee...)

Is this extra pound because I have been a little clogged up recently?

Anyway frustration and rant out - I feel annoyed but not depressed about this - which is good!

Have decided that I am going to follow the GI diet as I think it would be best for me. Just waiting for my books to turn up.

Good luck with your weight loss journey

Thanks Zareena.

Hi Curvy Chicken!

Sounds like the night out was good! It's always a shock when you wake up the next morning and realise just how much you've drunk!

Good luck with the G.I. diet. I'm on CD and hope that I will soon start following the G.I. plan. You'll have to let me know how well it works!

I'm Sarah by the way, and my parents live in Ringmer so I'm in Brighton most weekends! I live in High Wycombe with hubby!

Anyway, good luck!

I most certainly will tell you how it goes! I figured that as I struggle with diets because I always get hungry and snack on rubbish when my blood sugar level dips - this the diet for me...

Goodluck with CD - hope it all goes well for you!

Well I am very impressed with the GI Diet after one week I have lost four pounds!!!!!

So that makes me:

starting weight - 14.5
28.08.06 - 14.1

Apparently I can expect a similar loss next week (according to the GI Diet website...) and if I do I will finally be in the 13's - which would be a real result for me as I have hovered around the 14's for ages! Very happy - need to change me chick counter though!

I thinkI am right in thinking that all the very low calorie diets suggest you follow GI principles for a healthy eating lifestyle to last your whole life

Well done you on making that change NOW

Well done on dropping 4 lbs - that is excellent mate

Thanks Chicken on a Mission - this diet is soo easy and its great not to feel so hungry all the time! I know that probably after next week things will be slower but as long as I lose some weight every week I am happy for things to go gently. My boyfriend worked out that if I lose 2 pound per week that I should be at my target at the end of April which is just after my birthday and that is so worth aiming for!
