blonde poker forum

So i have been a part of Blonde for for just over 15 months now and i have finally made my 1000th post. Most of my previous 999 post have been utter bollox but i am going to try and make this one of my better ones.

I have met a few of you around Leeds and DTD and hope to meet a lot more of you at BB8 this September.

I am a recreational player and play a small amount online. I have been playing for over 4 years and have just started working as a poker dealer in Leeds which i am enjoying at the moment. I have had times where i have hated the game but the game is very addictive and always seams to pull me back in.

I don't think my game has developed much recently and think i have fallen behind a bit which often makes me feel frustrated with how i play.

Well enough about the poker and a bit more about myself.

I have been piling on the pounds recently and often eat lots of junk and i think its about time i made a few changes in my lifestyle. I am un happy with my weight at the moment and i intend to use this thread as motivation in order to help me achieve a few goals.

I have always been a big lad and like my grub but i decided that on my 1000th i was going to sort out a goal that i think is reachable. I have just weighed myself and i top the scales at 23st 4lb.

So out goes the takeaways/chocolates/crisps and late nights and in come the healthier food, earlier nights and my running sneaks.

My goal is to get down to 20st by the time of the Blonde bash in September. So i make that just over 3 months in which to do this in.

So i hope when i am feeling down that this thread will pick me up and set me back on track!

Thanks for reading and hope to see you all at BB8 in Leeds.

Girgy

GL with that mate..see you in Leeds :)

I saw your facebook profile a while ago your hobby list includes going to gym ;)


gl with your effort to lose some weight.

Struggling with funds for a gym membership atm but its summer and the racecourse is close by so until i get back on my feet that will have to do!

gl Girgy.

Hope it all goes to plan.

good post mate and gl.

Good luck sweetie !

congrats on your 1000th post and  ;goodluck;

I think you dealt at a table I was playing on at Gala a week or so ago. Good luck with this, the only thing stopping you from doing it will be motivation - though the dealing is probably going to challenge the late nights as well as give opportunity for late snacks etc.

You dont need a gym membership if you have a pair of traniers. There are loads of places in Leeds where you can go walking etc.

All the best with it.

Yea the late nights when working can't be helped and gonna have to cut out the junk i eat at work! Jacket potatoes FTW!

And i dont live in Leeds but there is lots of places near me where i can go!

Cheers

Congrats, If its motivation ur looking for why dont you have some kind of prop bet. Not to the redic lengths elky went to though

Any ideas?

you could either do a straight weight loss prop bet like elky did, or you could enter a 10k race (theres plenty around leeds) in say 2 months and set yourself a time

Congrats on the 1000th

Good luck with the new regime.

Congrats on your 1000th post.  Good luck on your weight loss.

How's this going so far?

FML, how much did Boldie place e/w? lol

Hope it's going well mate

Geo

Hi guys things have not been going to plan as i had wished as im strugling with a lack of motivation and a very unsettled schedule! I know its not much of an excuse and i plan to address this soon!

Thanks for your intrest guys and and tips would be nice to hear regarding putting together a fitness/diet plan and getting motivated!

find a bit of time and take a walk every morning/evening.

..that'll get you started mate.

Eat less.

motivation - 1% thighs chafing in hot weather sucks, 1% be nice to play with the great grandkids, 3% have some self respect and stop being a MFing pussy, 95% sex, whether that's more sex, better sex, sex with more people, better looking people whatever, this is what motivates people the most imo.

diet - google lyle mcdonald

exercise - google crossfit

GL!

Lazyness is the only thing stopping you. You can do it, just don't make excuses for anything.

Have you joined the gym yet?

Maybe start a thread detailing a brief account of what you are eating and what exercises you've done. Obv you'll get the occasional unhelpful post from someone but generally people will give you good advice and it could help.

 ;scarymoment;

Low carb dieting is your friend

Being so heavy you will shed the pounds and this remotivtaes you to keep going!

Fk the haters - go get yourself a copy of the Atkins diet. DO it for 3 months - you will have surpassed your goals!

I am Low carb-ing at the mo (a refined version of the Atkins - bit healthier) - i have lost 9lbs in 3 weeks - doing it for another 3 then eating healthy from there and going to follow Paul Mckennas life plan

If you are not  bothered about the fast weight loss - use the mckenna plan

No more excuses - start tomorrow! - i live in leeds if you want to meet for a ................... slim..fast...shake???!?!?!?!? - and get you started! (that is a serious offer)

Girgy, completely fuck off the whole 'diet' thing.

You need to change what you eat in a way you would be happy to eat forever. The whole idea of being on a diet is shite, so when you get to your target weight you can eat exactly how you did before? Whats the point in that?

You need to find a good balance, where you still have some stuff you like, and replace some of the worst things, with some healthier stuff.

Healthier eating is not just for xmas, its for life, unlike a puppy.

Well said Stu, 100% agree lifestyle change instead of diets.

Yup, good post Bopkirk.

The whole problem with diet is it basically means suffering. Everyone likes food and you should still be able to eat things you enjoy but nothing in excess and you can still change your eating habits without ruling anything out.

I really am stuck for the next couple of weeks. Im running 2 jobs atm to just make ends meat and problem is i finish late at casino so i sleep till 11am where i go to work again at midday untill afternoon then im back home for an hour before getting ready for casino again leaving me pretty exhausted. I know its no excuse and i am looking for a more full time role atm that i can get into more of a routine.

As for gym pretty much limited with funds atm si again i will look to join one when more of a steady income comes in.

Also on the diet/lifestyle change i will take on boared your comments

Cheers

Just seen your proposal in my staking request Cos!

TY and i will arrange summet with you later if thats ok?

I have to head off to work now

Cheers!

Girgy pls forgive me, I had to lol a little bit at that

Lol food on the brain.
Can you cycle to work Girgy? Take your own snap in too, something decent. Casino menu`s dont help much i wouldve thought.

What a bag of bollocks excuse.

If you really wanted to go to the gym you'd find the money.  There's gyms you can join for £40 per month tops. That's £1.30 per day.

Do you eat much fast food? Drink alcohol at all? Drink fizzy drinks? Buy food at work instead of taking your own?

If you can honestly say that there's nothing you could cut out to find £1.30 per day I'd be shocked.

The things you'd cut out are also the things stopping you losing the weight you want to lose. Win win situation.

If you don't want to go to the gym fair enough I can't fault you at all but please don't insult people's intelligence by saying the reason is money.

If you really wanted to go you'd have joined already.

hey girgy, can you find 10 minutes a day to do some exercise? maybe get up 10 mins early or go to bed 10 mins late?

if so, today/tomorrow/whenever lie down flat on the floor and then stand up straight, then lie down and stand up again. set clock/stopwatch for 10 mins and see how many times you can do it. post result here and then I tell you what to do for your 10 mins the next day. deal?

You forgot to say please.

Why the pussy footing? Girgy quite clearly can't be arsed.

I'm not criticising this at all because he should do exactly what he pleases. If he wants to find time to excercise he will.

If he wants to lose weight the guy needs some tough love not gentle encouraging. If he doesn't want to lose weight and start excercising he should stop trying to convince people he does whilst coming up with shit excuses for avoiding it.

You'll be giving him man hugs next and telling him it's all ok.

lol..

Just a quote from your staking request. You can put up £198 + costs of travel, accomodation and other expenses for a poker tournament but can't fund a gym membership?

Gotta make sure your priorities are right. If you don't cash in that tournament you'll have spent the equivalent of 1 years gym membership on a weekend of poker.

People will be willing to help you but you've got to help yourself.

dude is 23 stone man, put a weight vest on so that you weigh that much and see if that seems like a reasonable first workout ever/since school/whateverTF it is for girgy. I was well nervous the first time I walked in the gym and I was only 17 stone. I believe you are uber fit, try to put yourself in girgy's shoes. 10 mins a day at home better than paying £40 a month and going twice and never again.


everybody's different, how do you know that's what he needs?


well, you would know more about that than me from your BJJ training I imagine :)

(http://www.forgetfoo.com/images/blog/jiu-jitsu-gay600.jpg)

whatever it's up to girgy, we can do some crossfit type stuff over the internet or not, don't matter to me.

Hey Girgy,

Will  a bet motivate you?

I am willing to travel to the Leeds area at an agreed time and date and Race you over a 10K Road race. I will give you fair and reasonable odds and any reasonable handicap Blondities think fair. I need to lose a little weight and this would motivate me.  

I have no intention of making you skinter but if it helps you health....., so if it be £1,£10 of £100 i don't really care.  Only doing it for the crack, to lose weight, to motivate you and to partcipate on the forum.

By the way you would have a massive head start coz i used to be a decent runner. But when we post or fitting weight, stats, and experience, he blondites can guide us as to handicap.

You can take 3, 6 9 monthes to train ect or whatever you need.


What do you think mate?

Steve

Lol

Oh my god lol

Matt you have been so pwned

Lol

Lol






Lol


Lol lol lol                                                                                          Lol






And LOL

On a serious note though, Matt is right.

The fact Girgy is 23 stone makes this easier if anything.
The weight will fall off if he puts the effort in to eat better and get some excersise.

Theres no to ways about it, if he really wants to, he will do.

At the moment he is obviously not that bothered. If he was he would be on it.

I dont know too much about the guy, but ive met him once and he seems like a nice bloke.

If I was girgy i would have the job paper out and be applying for any job that was 9-5 and had a gym in the building.

Yeah Matts a great big buff homo that hugs people and throws them around.
Im not though and Ive done what Girgy wants to do, I really wanted to do it, it was a piece of piss.

I quit smoking to at the same time

Hell yeah

Im the fckin man! :D

Pure com. Love it. It's without a doubt the gayest violent sport ever. I used to mainly do the one where you get to wear a gi though and at least a tee shirt to avoid nipple rubs.

Lol at me super fit btw. About a year ago I weight trained 6 times per week, kick boxing 2 times per week and man love jitsu 2 times per week.

Not done anything for ages now. I want to but I haven't.

You know why?

Because I can't be arsed. It's as simple as that. That's why I can relate to Girgy on this. Yes there's differences but my reason for not training is the same as his.

I try to convince myself that I want to but do I really? If I do then why aren't I there?

Ok just to answer a few of your posts.......


If im working for the agency that is local to me it is possible to cycle to work and this is somethink i will think about. I also live too far away from casino to cycle and i have stopped eating at work as you say the casino menu is not very healthy.


Thanks for this Byron and i will look at doing something with you over this thread....

Also Evilpie thanks for your honesty and yes reasons why i havnt joined a gym etc is cos i canot be arsed at the moment hence why i need some motivation via this thread.


Stu Cheers for the kick up the arse!

Also on the Job front i have an interview on Friday for a FT job that will be 8-4.30 and i will have chance to look into joining a gym when i have a more set routine.

Regards to my request for staking...... i have some money due at the end of this month thats how i can afford to put up 60% and am looking forward to a weekend of poker if i can raise the extra 40%.

Regards to working and taking my own food etc.... i do take my own snap to work but whilst on the road i do have an habit to just nip into the garage for unhealty snacks and is something i will be loooking to change.

My mum cooks my meals and after telling her today to buy more healthier i will be starting my quest from now.........

Ask in a year

fyp

Let's make some sort of bet Bolt

I bet that Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes

Got any cakes to bet with?

I got cherry bakewells but they were so great i ate them all already, where does that leave us? I sort of won cos i proved my own point though if they were crap i wouldve eaten my menhod of payyment?

Sigh, clueless guy.

I got biscuits, you like biscuits,?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............  go on girgy, you know you wanna.....................................

(http://www.esn.po.opole.pl/gfx/cakes.jpg)

Posting pictures of a cake?
Really?
Is that neccessary bolt?
If you dont think he is going to do it fair enough, but what your doing here is bullying.

Of course i'm not, i'm just fucking about, if he's got half a brain he's not gonna give a shit, i dont know him afterall, how can i be serious about something like this about someone i dont know?

Look at it this way last time he put this thread up initially everyone went: "contgrats, good luck, you the man" blah blah blah and it got him nowhere, he gave up after 5 mins, he probs couldnt remember who wished him good luck but he might remenber me being a prick and want to show me, that wasnt my intention when i put the odds up, i was just fucking about but you lot molly coddling him didnt work, he might be pissed off enough at me to give it a go.

If i wanted to bully him i'd call him Roland

Wow you're a numpty if that's what you actually think

About what bit, the "Roland" bit? a bit too obscure? I change it to Brando then.

What type of cake is that? it looks very nice

ffs, dont say that, you're not helping him!!!

I googled: "lose fat bet" btw and that pic came up.

Bolt won't be laughing when Girgy flips and picks up some weights...

The fact he is posting on here is better than nothing.
No ones overly been molly coddling him, we've all said he needs to pull his shit togther and get on with it and stop making excuses.
I dont really know him either but I dont feel a need to be negative about it.

Most bullys are just fucking about in their eyes, most of them dont know the person they are bullying either do they, or they probably wouldnt do it.

Its not even a fair playing ground as none of us know anything about you so he cant even make a funny comeback.

You make a lot of funny posts on here 95% of them make me laugh out loud, some of them are awesome!
Im just saying the fact you dont know him should make you think twice, how do you know how he going to take it?

Trying to resist here!

Good post though Stu

I think you love me

Agree with the Atkins diet being a good way to lose weight and see results quickly which is always a good motivator. I went on it a few years back and lost 3 1/2 stone in about 6 months, unfortunately I have put it back on lol. If you do go on the Atkins diet make sure you take fibre tablets as it can mess up your digestive system.
good luck with it

Isn't that the problem with the Atkins diet?  It certainly can be effective in helping people to shed weight, but it's not a viable long-term plan in term of a healthy, balanced diet.  Much better to focus on sensible eating combined with exercise.

have you actually read the book? apart from the first 2 weeks which is very strict to create rapid initial weight loss and you can ignore if you wish, atkins diet = meat, fish, dairy, vegetables and fruit. wtf is unbalanced about that? if you don't run marathons you don't need to be eating bread, pasta, rice and mars bars.

Is marathon running the only thing you need energy for?

you could always make some jokes about Bolt being a chav.  I have met him twice and can confirm.

this is a lie, ban please.

I only "remember" meeting you once anyway  ;carlocitrone;

[ ] am surprised :D

It's nearly time for our next annual piss up.

whenever seriously let me know, you me tikay and tantrum, is she still about.

no matter what the turn out has to be an annual thing?

I wont drink the night and morning before this time ::)  bring matt as well, we'll bop to the same pub london bridge.

tikay the let down probs wont turn up! ::)

well, I have already suggested 2 websites that have good forums where stuff like this is endlessly debated. as a start from

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/85/health-fitness/faq-please-read-before-you-post-176665/

it is discussed here

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/85/health-fitness/thremp-et-al-why-you-guys-so-against-carbs-296071/

how about Alea Leeds instead this time.  Early September.

Bolt no offence taken.

Thanks to others for your support!

cool bruv, gl

how am i bopping leeds for a drink in a pub?

bop over to walthamstow tomorrow instead then

Loving the thread, fck the haters bolt!

FYP

Yes.

if not eating refined carbs and starch is unhealthy, unbalanced and not sensible then you'd have to be completely crackers to cut out dairy as well and insist on the rest being organic right? so many ridic fit people who eat like this tho ???

Good Luck with this. Byron have you taken ECA stack or researched it?

I don't want to encourage girgy to take it, it is banned in various different countries and people have died taking it although that's probably mostly dumb teenagers overdosing on hot days with not enough water.

Bodyfat % is probably somewhere around 85% nutrition, exercise being the majority of the rest, so EC is only having a small effect. However if you are gonna take it I believe the latest thinking is dump the Aspirin, which was put in originally for it's blood thinning effect and we all take fish oil which does that now, and start off very very slowly, and not to take it before intense exercise.

Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss ebook talks about this a bit and can be found on torrents if you do that kind of thing.

 Thanks Byron, I have Lyles e book .  I have ordered some "E" and am not going for the A . I will see about the C.
