blonde poker forum

Ladies and Gentlemen of blonde, the time has come in my life to start making changes to my lifestyle and general outlook.

I have decided that with immediate effect I shall start dieting and exercising regularly, i understand that this will be a massive change to my normal attitude to life in general but it is something that I feel I need to do.

I will stop smoking soon but will not give a definite date yet.

I will be going to the dentist ( something that I have a real phobia of) and will just throw myself at their mercy and tell them to just do what they need to, I am very conscious of my teeth and need to get them sorted.

To be quite truthful, I hate the skin that I'm in, and want to do something about it before its too late.

So its goodbye to pies, chips, chocolates and the like, and hello to a more structured and healthy living regime.

I know it will be hard work but I also know that I can do it (im a stubborn bastard and by posting it on here i know that it will serve as a reminder and a place to look back on when times get tough, and give me the focus to maintain the willpower)

So that's it, a tough challenge but one that I am ready for.... no scales/starting weights etc.. Im just going to eat more healthily, take more exercise and basically change the habits of a lifetime.

well done kev, no beer in Dublin then?

Don't treat your new changes as a regime.  Have fun with it and gl. 

No more pies!  ;gobsmacked;

Good luck in your quest!

will there be a prize for you at the end of your quest ?             

Good luck Kev!

Who has hacked into Kev's account?

Good luck Kev, you know it makes sense.

Step 1: Read Kev's post

Step 2: Check date of Kev's post - not April 1st!

Step 3: Read Kev's post again.

Step 4: Look for hidden text in post sized at 1pt and stating "If you believe this you're an idiot"

Step 5: Read Kev's post again.

Step 6: Start to consider the possibility that it might be serious.

Step 7: Feel afraid, very afraid.

Step 8: Wonder if the recent bout of man-flu had made him delirious.

Step 9: Read Kev's post again - spelling looks ok, no sign of delirium evident.

Step 10: FEEL AFRAID, VERY AFRAID!



Honestly, good luck with this Kev.  I go through one of these spells at regular intervals in the hope that one day I'll maybe crack it.  Perhaps one day I will but whatever has triggered this has obviously had an impact, so I wish you the best.

Now I'm off to hide somewhere during the mood swings.

 ;scarymoment;

Good luck mate - don't worry too much though. Living a healthy lifestyle can become addictive too ya know....

Time to sell my Ginsters shares ;)

Good luck Kev, stick to it, going to be hard going to start with but hang in there :)

Good luck Kev. Its great you are thinking of a change to a healthy diet. your organs will thank you for it for many years:) it will take a lot of determination but you seem stuborn enough to rise to the challenge:) lol

as for you teeth, theres nothing up with them. you are who you are and look like you which is pretty cool in my book:)

good luck

mad

well done mate, shave your barnet off while you're at it. you know it makes sense rodney  :)up

good luck

We love you as you are Kev , but if you feel you need to be more healthy and exercise then good for you  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Health regime and giving up all the things you love- has to be down to a woman. I give him 6 months before he's sneaking off downt to the local 24hr garage for a ginsters saying he is off for a powerwalk or something stupid.

best of luck Kev!

good luck Kev

christ, pressures on now....you were my camoflage!

Good luck Kev.

Your gonna need it  ;)

F**king go for it man.

I echo the sentiments of Lady Charmaine.

Good Luck fella.

Kev, you are what you eat,





eat fish, it's good for you ;)

i have £50 on there being a team with nil point, i hope someone is really shocking!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

neverends

LOL...

...Kev must have his eye on a lady!

Where's your mum tonight?

Good luck with this Kev.

 :respect:

 ;iagree;

... but remember, if something seems too hard - just give up, its not worth it ;)

Friggin hell, wierd times indeed. Kev on a health kick and something I actually agree with flushy about. I had a bit on nil points too!!

Isn't this like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Has someone upset you by saying you look a bit rough on the tele?

Good luck with your proprsed changes, take it slowly though, don't go mad straight away.

Just stop having pies for breakfast initially, then cut out your elevensies etc

Im inclined to think there might be a lady behind this too.

First of all if she likes you then she likes you as you are so why change?

Second if she likes you why change...should I go on?

Shareholders in ginsters will miss ur support and may even go bankrupt

People will lose jobs..workers will be paid off...kids wont get christmas presents..morgages wont be paid.

In fact the whole world will suffer if Kev gives up his pies.

I wish you well on ur quest being more healthy gl xx

We know you're going to be successful, so we are all getting in the little digs while we still can.

Thanks for all the good luck messages, its good to have the support of friends when you are attempting to do something that is so alien to you.

To  answer a few responses, I am doing this for myself, not for anyone else, the end result will be self respect and self satisfaction and that is all the motivation I need.

I have been quite ill recently and it was during this time that i made the decision to alter my lifestyle and turn over a new leaf.

So Like I said, thankyou for the support and encouragement and I will try and drop a post on this thread every now and then to keep everyone informed of my progress.

Rest assured, I will still be a sarcastic git and a general wind up merchant on here, its the body that i want to change, not the personality ;)

 :respect:

all the best Kev  ;goodluck;

Good on ya Kev.

I have been thinking about this for a while now,(eg stop smoking,exercise,gym) but cant find the motivation :(

So  :respect: to ya m8

 We have gym equipment and live minutes from the local pool sweetheart  ;)

I too gave it some thought, cocolate, cigs, sex????..........The thought lasted a few seconds!!!

Keep us updated Kev you never know you could be our inspiration!

Kev, I have an introduction to make for you.


Kev - salad.  Salad, Kev.


(go here if you're confused:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad )

rotflmfao rotflmfao

By the way good luck Kev.

While your cleansing yourself of bad habits, you may as well give up supporting those filthy spuds too ....... ;booder;

Kev,

Good luck, but I fear you have already made a mistake. Saying you are going to stop smoking but not deciding when to do it is just not good enough. Just stop right now! No patches, no gum, just stop. It's easy to do. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The additction to nicotine goes in less than a week, its just the habit forming situations that are more difficult to deal with, i.e. pint n cig. But as your new you won't be including much of that, its should be a dawdle for you.

I don't agree - trying to change everything at once means more likely to fail I would have thought.  I would concentrate on getting the healthy eating sorted, get the teeth done, then introduce some exercise and tackle the smoking once all that is second nature.  Each to their own of course.

I plan on giving up the fags in a few weeks, and saving the money spent to get my teeth done too ;D

claw, tenner says you don't. With that attitude of 'I plan to give up in a few weeks' , you will always be putting it off...

just to add what i have learnt in uni is going cold turkey is the biggest cause of relapse in any diet/lifestyle change.

Gradual decline and patienece is the key in anything to do with cutting down. Dont expect miracles in the first month or even 2. Its all about the willpower.

I had a similar thought when I was having an Indian Buffet for lunch today. I only had three visits today to the buffet rather than 4.  :)

I believe that it is horses for courses when it comes to abstinence of anything and it really can come down to your reasons behind wanting the change.

Personally i only managed to quit after i'd lost my dad to lung cancer, even while he was being treated i used to go and visit and pop out for ciggie breaks. At least i used the experience for something positive in the end.

I quit smoking after reading Allen Carrs the easy way to give up book this worked for me and my wife plus many others here on blonde http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=15501.0 (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=15501.0) unfortunately i also know of several others who have failed with the easy way.

As per everything in life it's what works for the individual.

Not at all.  I've set a date, and I'm sticking to it.  It has worked for me in the past, although I've obviously relapsed months and years down the line on those occasions.  Horses for courses and all that.

If you've relapsed on each previous occasion, regardless of how much later, perhaps it hasn't worked for you...you plan to give up, but subconciously you plan to relapse at a later date.  I would suggest a more abrupt unplanned end to your smoking if you want to stop it for good.

thanks for the psychoanalysis!

lol, anytime

Good on you Kev,positive way forward,ever thought of taking up racketball,its adictive and a good workout and it only takes 40 mins,best of luck to you

LOL i will start with getting my fat arse off the computer chair for a few hours each day and walk before I can run mate ;)

If u come to Harwich and play i`ll give u a game and u can smoke at the same time,we can play 4 a roll up :)

LOL quality.

House insurance goes up in Colchester due to localised earthquakes ;)

Good on you Kev, I should try the same. I'll think about it over a beer ;D

Kev,

I recently reached a stage in my life when I had to really take stock of the situation in terms of health etc. And although I am almost ten older than you, I can very much relate to your position. Also I guess, the battle with health has always been a part of my life.

Ten years ago, when I was your age; it was s struggle to try and keep fit in order to continue with playing football. With having to split my time running a games company, the chip shop and poker; it really was a challenge. But somehow, I managed to just do enough. Ten years later, I just can’t tell you how much I have benefited from those efforts. Because in truth, if I had failed back then, then I would have missed out on so much now. And trust me, at this very moment, I feel better now than I did back then. But it has not been easy,

I guess it began about four years ago when I found it difficult to even sit at the poker table. Admittedly, my situation at the time was very much dire, and as such; left very little peace in the mind to draw strength from. I had become a wreck - I allowed my other battles to become my focus. Sad part was, I forgot just how important health was to that battle. Don’t do the same! Don’t leave yourself playing catch up when you should be living it up!

But remember, it will be a slow process. Just like poker, it will require patience above all else. So start easy - go it nice and slow - keep within your limits - don’t cause any kind of injury to slow you down. And yet, be prepared for such an event. And don‘t allow any setbacks to stop you from your main goal. Slowly, you will find your limits growing and you will reach new heights. That will put such a smile on your face - you will love your new life. 

Example:

About two years ago I decided that poker was going to take a back seat and that I would focus on getting fit. And because of my efforts in my younger days, it didn’t  take long before  I was playing football again. And man did that feel good!

About four months ago, a knee injury meant that I had to stop football for a while (may need minor surgery, but trying to work it off through other means). Anyway, it also meant that I couldn’t do my favorite exercise of going to the park and kicking a ball against a wall - I needed to adapt. And so swimming came into my life. I gotta tell ye Kev, start swimming my man - it will do wonders for you. You will feel like a machine in no time. And btw - I used a snorkel today for the first time and I was able to swim as much as I wanted - simply a great workout without stress to the joints!

As for the smoking - I also know that my time to quit is getting close - I wish us both well on that one. But mostly, I just hope that you get to feel how I feel now.

thank you Peter, an inspiring post.

I think the most important thing i have on my side is that I am doing this for "ME".  It is my decision and mine alone.. and I think that helps in keeping the discipline, because at the end of the day I am  letting myself down if i dont keep it going, so the will power and focus will stay strong.

Thanks again for the support.

There you go Kev, yu'll be swimming like a fish in no time :D

Are you suggesting that my post was not inspiring ???

errrrmmmm YES !!

rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Kev, I will give you a copy of the book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.

That's my little contribution to your effort.

Good luck mate. After a few days, once you see the fruits of your self-discipline, you'll be on your way, & the impetus will do the rest.

Tikay, this book have you tried it and did it work?

Yes & yes.

Anyone who reads this book & fails to quit smoking is just not trying. Like everything worthwhile in life, it does take a little effort & self-control, but succeeding only serves to enhance the satifaction one derives from winning a battle betweeen common-sense & addiction.

Those of us that succeed may weaken from time to time & lapse, but not for long.

The light hath been seeneth, & the lighter chucketh awayeth.

Follow the Tikay.........for he hath risen!

Good luck with your quest Kev, it's hard work.....having lost two stone I know it's worth it! I would suggest having a graph/chart for the weight loss side of things, it focuses your mind and gives you a good visual of the progress you are making.....put it on your fridge door!    Working for me, though I still have another stone to go! One other tip....don't have 'bad for you shite' in the house.

Seems like a really heartfelt post.  All the best for the positive changes.

 ;kneelsucker;

today I decided to walk to tesco (a round trip of around3/4 of a mile) and just buy the food for today, I have decided not to keep any food in the house, and just do this walk every day to buy that days provisions.

No temptations and plenty of fruit to snack on.... and plenty of water to drink.


The mission is underway.

you are seriously sick!

get a cab to the doctors  and stop at the takeaway on the way back sort yourself out!

seriously mate if its what YOU want then best of luck.

remember though you may live another 40 years instead of 35 but would you have LIVED those years???

bananas - the way to go :)

good for you and an energy food, just dont go overboard though straight away - not sure your body could cope to much of a change too soon ;)

And they are great when deep fried or when smothered in sugar, extra thick double cream and melted chocolate buttons!! ;whistle;

 ;goodluck;

LOL im not gonna stop being me, im not gonna stop having a laugh, im still gonna have a bevvy when I want one, all im really doing is getting off my fat arse and doing a bit more some exercise, and cutting out the shit I eat.

Its not going to change the person I am on the inside ... im happy with him, I just dont like the fat bloke on the outside.

A positive start Kev , and what a good idea just buying enough for one day  :)up what do your boys think of you being a slimmer healthier Dad ? i bet they're very proud of you  :)

blimey give him chance, miracle don't happen overnight!! ;)

This is a really good idea - I never have any food in the house either. I'll have one meal in the fridge but after that there'll only maybe be an apple somewhere. No biscuits or chocolate or whatnot. Also, don't have any beer in the house - 2 or 3 beers whilst sat playing poker every night quickly add up. The calories in even one beer will negate any exercise you do at this stage completely. By all means drink in the pub, but forcing you to leave the house to have beer will cut it down without you really noticing.

I've developed a real taste for sparkling water. Very healthy, but because it's fizzy it seems like 'a proper drink' and not just water.

my bet is there proud of him no more or no less than yesterday

Kev, Just read through this thread.WTG m8 I'm glad you've decided to  make a go at getting fit.

Don't forget what Peter said, get down to the local swimming pool. It really is the best exercise.

I had been going once a week, until my little incident.it gets your muscle working and your joints flexing again without the strain.I had forgotten how to swim at first, but built my exercise plan up by walking up and down.

The funny thing is you don't feel like a pr@ck, and after time you'll feel the benefit.

I'm always amazed there are so few older men ( other than pensioners) taking advantage of the pool.

P'S I find the best time to go, is mother and toddler mornings.......................................but that's just me ;kev;

Best of luck with this Kev, I'm sure posting it on here for all to see will also help you succeed.

Keep us updated!   ;slavedriver;

The man has done your research for you Kev on this one!

I really like the idea of not having lots of food in the house, no temptation to just eat when bored. I do the weekly shop and its suits me but I dont think it would be too much hassles to walk to M&S daily for what I need. Well that's when my knee gets better when i hurt it trying to get fit :P

It all depends on how you wanna do it. Some people believe that when dieting or living healthily that they have to eat 3 meals a day to do so. When i do kick myself up the arse from time to time and try to lose weight i find snacking on healthy stuff in between the set meal times sustains me throughout the day. Without doubt the hardest part of dieting is simply cutting down on fat intake as that is where most of the taste is to be found.
In fact i have been inspired by this post by what eric said and i really now have the urge to start up swimming agin, i used to love swimming (goes back to my navy seal days but dont wanna talk about it!) and it really is such a good cardio exercise. Cant wait!!!!!

Moderation is the key.  I don't eat fatty foods most of the time because my Dad and his Dad both suffered from heart problems.  When I go out I'll eat anything, but that's every once in a while and does no harm as far as I'm concerned.  On a daily basis I eat a relatively healthy diet - fish, chicken, lots of salad - and I also eat shed-loads of carbs (usually bread and rice) - but as I run and do other exercise that gets used up.  I don't know if it's best to eat three main meals, or to 'graze' all day - as long as it's good stuff, I'm not sure it matters.  It seems 'experts' differ on their opinions with this one.

Drink lots of water as well (doesn't have to be water, but lots of a non-diuretic drink that doesn't contain too much crap) - well over 2 litres a day.  That helps to keep your body healthy, and lots of times you think you're hungry, your body is actually dehydrated.  You will actually be dehydrated long before you actually feel thirsty, and I just keep a big bottle of water next to me and take a swig from it every so often.  Helps keep you fit as well, as you have to go to the loo more often!  Water is a very important part of a healthy diet.  You can go for a week without food.  You can't survive much more than a day without water.


You should find the swimming easy.

The drive into Feltham for tonights Sky poker gig was a toughy, I had to pass loads of roadside cafes and could almost taste the egg and bacon sarnies as i drove past.

I also had the temptation of passing loads of little thiefs chefs .... their Olympic breakfasts are a bit spesh !!

But the resolve didnt weaken and i managed to keep the faith .... onwards and upwards !!

Good post bout water, bit of useful crap that i finally get to use is drink regularly, when you feel thirsty you are already 15-20% dehydrated!
And also what i forgot to mention earlier was i dont change what i eat when i try and lose weight, i simply put less on the plate-you'd be surprised how much of a difference that makes on its own!!!!

And kin, as to the swimming reference in bold, i assume you mean becuase sharks are excellent swimmers!!!!

fantastic news kev....

 ;D

Latest update ...... the belt test reveals a bit of success, moved in a notch :)

I purposely have avoided scales because I fear that a week with little or no weight loss could weaken the resolve, so its just the belt test and the way my clothes fit that are the benchmarks.

The exercise remains as the daily walk to Tesco, but I aim to step that up in the coming weeks.

so far so good.

Fantastic news Kev. Keep it going!

Great news Kev  :)

It's probably a better measure anyway. When you start adding more rigorous exercise to your regime you could gain as much in muscle as you lose in fat (maybe) which wouldn't show up on the scales but would on the belt test.

still focused and to be honest its getting a little easier, the daily walk to Tesco is a doddle and not taxing me enough, so its getting near to the time when I need to step up the exercise a notch.

I dont feel ready to quit smoking yet though, so still a long way to go.

keep going ace!

I spent 30 years waiting to feel ready to quit smoking.

You ready yet?

:dontask:

Just thought I would let you all know the latest ... I am still focussed and motivated and today I bought a new pair of jeans .. 4 inches has been lost from the waistline.

Like i said in the original post, i never weighed myself at the start due to the pressure that you put yourself under when weighing yourself at the end of a week and finding you have only lost 1lb or 2 .... I am much happier just doing it my way and  keeping my motivation and drive by looking forward long term rather than on the basis of a weekly weigh in.

in the next few weeks, I intend to start swimming a couple of times a week as well as the daily walk to Tesco .... Still smoking though ... thats the next big thing to get my teeth into.

WTG Kev!!

Same as that man said... marvellous!

Keep it up Kev.....xx

Brilliant!

From here on in, it's eay Kev.

Bloody well done - 4 inches off your waist in a Month is a great effort!

shouldnt be too difficult looking at your avatar ;)

Nice going Kev, 4 inches is huge loss.

Could do with it myself!  You are an inspiration.

There's several one liners in there too - but then i know your wife doesnt read the forum..............

 ;whistle;

Well done I don't recall losing 4 inches that quick since the time I heard my folks coming up the drive....................


Anyway good stuff and keep it going fatlad, wideload ......eh Kev?

brilliant work Kev

Like I said, I can afford to lose a few inches ;)

(it's a good job she doesn't read it, I'd be caught out here :D)

 ;busted;

:D   :hello: (if you really are Mrs Silo.......)

Nah, I reckon someone is monkeying about.

how many blonde accounts must matt have lol!!!!!

1 is too mnay IMO  ;nanana;

No idea what you are talking about?!?!!?

I have one account and my son has one account!

;)

Thanks, i've heard so much about the site - figured i'd come see what all the fuss was about :)

oi oi :D

 rotflmfao

In that case Mrs Silo, Welcome!

Graham pops onto blonde once or twice a Month, he's a good guy.

???

Misread?

(He's told me all about you too.........)

Ahh, clearly........

lol @ misread - I say nothing honest :D

Good covering Tikay, thanks :)

Is it really the missus??

lol, don't think so, two reasons, firstly I don't really mention blonde and secondly she doesn't know about the misread jokes.

That said, there's that small doubt in the back of my mind that it could be!  I'm sure it's just Monkey boy messing around, those pesky monkeys sure are pranksters :D

Oh and thirdly, she's probably running around after our little girl at this point in time, no time to be surfing, unlike me of course who should be working...

Someone is deffo apeing us here......never trust a Monkey, I say.

dirty stinking ape!

Dirty? Ok Probably

Stinking? Most of the year yes

Ape?  >:(

The Monkey may be losing 4 inches of his tail when i get hold of him :D

don't worry, the free banana milkshakes for life will compensate!! ;)

My milkshake money is safe, you CANNOT win the blonde league.

Need to score a few points tonight as i'll be playing the £200 f/o at Bolton on Friday.

Will be taking a few weeks off from pokerstars so i can concentrate my efforts solely on this league!! :)

Latest update, 6 inches off the waistline now !!

And I have joined a Gym, have my assessment meeting on Monday and am doing everything properly.

A lot of people have noticed the change which is rewarding, costing me a bastard fortune in clothes though !!

couple of pics which prove its working ;)

the last one was taken 10 minutes ago.

OMG you look soooooooooo different, much younger WOW

Good for you  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

bloody hell kev - you look like you need something to eat!

Seriously, very well done indeed - you look much younger!

Well done Kev.. guess I should take a leaf out of your book..x

That last photo looks like it's CCTV coverage that they show on crimewatch!

Certainly looking good fella :)up




















(when I say looking good, I mean better...;whistle;)

Bloody hell Kev, you look awesome.  Your face has caved in!!!  Looking good x

UNBELIEVABLE KEV.

Excellent, excellent stuff mate!!!!!

OMG you look  fab

A massive well done

 ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cupcake; ;cupcake; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

Was going to type "bloody hell" but 2 others took the words out of my mouth. Good going, be careful.

Note to Maureen, don't change!!!

You did all that in only 2 months?!  BLIMEY!!!  Well done!

Tx Robert.x

wow, you should write a diet book, probably make a fortune.
can you give us some idea as to how you have done it?

Congrats kev the change is remarkable, takes alot of discipline to lose weight.

I saw Kev last week in Newcastle. there is a big change, to the extent that kev is sending me all his old clothes. well done Kev  :)up

dont take it too far though

Well done Kev....keep up the good work.

Kev

Thats the perfect weight for you now. Id stop losing weight  and step up the fitness and the intake of the healthy diet.  All that exercise will burn more weight off and you dont need that now. God, we will need to start calling you skinny kev now:)

Mad :)

wow, thanks for all the positive messages, i think that pic might have made me look thinner than i am, i still have a way to go yet.

dont worry im not on the verge of anorexia just yet ;)

i still have plenty of flab that im hoping the gym will help me shift.

Kev,

looking great, so far so good.

Blimey Kev you look totally different keep up the good work

Fantastic chiselled chin!! Well done Kev x

OMG !!!! you look brilliant Kev , and yes years younger  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Nice one Kev. I am having a go myself as of today, post holiday flab and all that and would like to fit back in to a lot of my trousers that are gathering dust.
Keep up the good work.
 ;applause;

Excellent going Kev, how many lb's have you lost so far then?
I'm attempting to loose weight but really struggling to do it on my own, ended up joining Slimming World to see if that could help motivate me, lost 8lb in the first two weeks but stayed the same the last two as i've been slipping back into my old eating habits.
That pic has got me motivated again though.

 ;applause;

PS are you sure your not tricking us and thats a pic of your twin brother that you've never mentioned.

Jesus Kev!!!

Excellent stuff m8 - bet you are well pleased with yourself.

he will always be a big cockney monkey in my eyes!!

ay up kev, i just read this thread from start to finish and im feeling inspired!  as you could prob guess from all my posts about food i do love some good scran!  I am going to try to cut down/start swimming (when i was a boy i used to train with 'leeds sharks'...gave it up after a couple of months early starts!).  The change is unreal in such a short time period and i hope to emulate your success!  Thanks for setting such a good example! 

Good work!

Basically I have just cut out all the crap that i used to eat, no chocolate, no chips, no pies, and replaced warburtons toastie for nimble wholemeal.  There is no secret to it honestly, just eat less and more healthily.


No Idea mate, never weighed myself at the start for precisely the reasons you stated... its so easy to lose the motivation if you have a week or 2 with no loss, so i decided to cut that pressure out and just do it my way and judge the weight loss by the looseness of my trousers ;)

I want to lose another 4 inches off the gut and hopefully the gym wil help with toning up the bingo wings and the flabby belly.

Very impressed Kev

I wish I had the will power

Good Luck chap

Regards

M

Astonishing! Well done Kev.

great stuff Kev, I am feeling inspired.

Great Going Kev. Keep it up :)up

You still looked like a F@T G@T, the last time I saw you........................amazed what you can do with potoshop.




























But that was week ago, so well done M8.

The difference is amazing well done Kev.

Today is a massive milestone reached for me personally.

I have had to buy new jeans .... i have now done 8 inches off the waist.

I am now the smallest trouser size i have been for 20 years !!!!

I can lend you some of my old ones if you want.

Oh what fun we had
But did it really turn out bad....

All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules

What Kev proves, oh so brilliantly, is that if you are a fatty fatty fat fat, you can by eating less and eating better food, lose the exes weight.

This has been a fabulous achievement by the boy, so if you are like he was.

pull yourself together, make the EFFORT.................................and get it done.

It's a terrible comparison,but as they said, there were no overweight people in concentration camps.

Never mind the 8 inches, you must feel fantastic, having took on a battle & won it. That's the real thing.

Brilliant.

Now theres a sentence you never thought you'd say

I just wish i got a sponsorship deal LOL, its costing me a fortune in clothes !!!

I will have to have a word with George from Asda and Florence & Fred from Tesco ;)

Your existing ones didn't, so why should the new wardrobe?

:dontask:

I look forward to seeing you in the flesh ............. so to speak  ;D

:o

I look forward to seeing you in your new clothes :)

Blimey!   ;gobsmacked;

holy moly, some of those pics are gross

Wow, photos looked gross, but what a difference from start to finish.

bought a couple of tops at the weekend, i can now officially say that i have no "X"s in front of my clothes sizes.

my blonde shirts were XXL .... i feel another order coming on LOL.

Nice one. How far are you away from your target?

one more trouser size and then tone up the remainder is the target. But that will take a good while. Its funny how you get impatient as time goes on ... I couldnt have imagined doing this well to be honest, but now i have, I want to get the rest done straight away.

off to gym this morning, then tomorrow i have a session at "Aqua Springs" http://www.aqua-springs.co.uk/facilities1.asp ...

looking forward to seeing a few of you in Luton this weekend, mines a large JD and a salad ;)

You had better wear a pink carnation so that we can recognise you.. ::)

it's pretty brave of you to come out of the closet so publicly, enjoy your facial  :kiss:

sigh ... im a firm believer of the old adage, "its better to give than to receive" ;)

Ive read the link thorougly and i'm sorry to have to tell you this mate but i think you've booked the wrong kind of session, it's not one of THOSE massage places.

im not going for a bloody massage, im just gonna use the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and spa pool.

since when did a "massage" ACTUALLY INCLUDE A "massage" anyway ;)

You might have done most of the hard work, but free wardrobe might be available:
