Title: Girgy85's Tales of a Taxi Driver.
Post by: Girgy85 on July 15, 2009, 06:10:58 PM
Right after motivation from Greekstein and a few others on my 1000th post thread i have decided to start a diary in order to keep me motivated and to listen to and advice hints and tips from other members.

I have just had my first weigh in and currently weigh 23st 7lbs (edit). I will update my weight once a week.

I am also going to set myself some goals. A short and long term goal to head towards.

Cos said he is willing to stake me 20% of what i need for next month at DTD if i set up this diary and this is my first goal......

Short Term Goal (1-2 months): To lose 1 stone by BB8 or i have to refund Cos the 20% if i fail this goal.

Long Term Goal(6 months): To be under 20 stone by Jan 1st 2010

Life Goal: This is the goal to make a lifestyle change for the better and to keep it up indefinetly.

I hope to hear a lot of positive thoughts from you all and hope if i start slacking you all give me a kick up the backside.

Cheers Girgy

To start my new lifestyle i have just had a new healtier tea. I have had a Jacket Potatoe, Grilled Chicken, Salad and Cottage Cheese and i have my alarm set for 8am in the morning and i am going to get up and go for a long walk. I already have a route mapped out in my head which is easily over 2 miles so i will time myself and report back here tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck with it!

Just as important as a good diet is regular strenuous exercise. Have you ever thought about running an RSQ, for instance?

Good Luck Girgy

I hope you can keep it up.  I believe as regarding the exercise I think with your weight you should start small and build up, I think 2 miles is a bit much if you are not used to walking so much also as you say you do not have much time, it would take a while for you to walk 2 miles.  I would say try and walk twice a day, once in morning once at night and gradually increase the distance.  However, I am no expert, but I tried to go on a health kick last year and found about half a mile enough at beginning, but I am old and you are young so perhaps you could do more.  Anyway good luck with your efforts.

Some peeps keep weight loss vlogs on youtube, I think it's a great idea. Doesn't need to include your face if you don't want obv. Would be nice maybe to take a pic a day with a pic/info about how much exercise you did and what you ate, would act as a great incentive. Saw a couple with a huge number of hits. One guy fully committed to 8 month's program, developed a hugge following, then did one LOL. Came back bigger but apologetic and restarted. Maybe he was away writing quizzes or something.  :-*

It's not easy for you to do a thread like this for everyone to know your weight and your business so kudos to you for that.

I'm sure you will but ignore stupid posts and plug on. You'll start feeling great as the weight comes off.

oh ffs, someone who lets a disposable comment on an internet poker forum deter them from carrying out such an important life changing venture was never going to succeed in the first place were they so what difference does it make?

I further suggest that someone who was motivated to undertake this task as the result of a bumped thread as opposed to a resolute determination to change their life will probably lose interest after a couple of days again no matter who says what.

Thanks for the good luck's and advice on exercise and books etc i will look into that Mckenna book cheers!

A bit of background on my previous attempts to lose weight before....

Whilst out in Australia with my mate i really got into my exercise and somedays i was doing upto 1 hour interval training on the treadmill and doing 4 miles. So i think a 2 mile brisk walk should be achievable. I could also cycle the 2miles every other day as a break from walking.

I am gonna look into gym membership and this gym also has a pool so i cud incorperate some swimming.

2 weeks till the DTD main event so im gonna crack on with this hard.

Cheers

Whilst you have the goal to aim for in just two weeks if you are serious about losing the weight and want to do it without risk to your body i suggest slowly slowly catchee monkey :)

trying to lose a lot of weight too fast can sometimes do the body more harm than good

Woke up at 8.30 this morning and dug the old running trainers out.

Set off on my 2 mile walk and had a goal of under 40 minutes in mind. I did it in 37.35 and now feel fresh for the morning.

Just had breakfast that consisted of a slimfast shake and a banana.

Like Matt said, small steps.  You'll take some backwards ones on the way too - but as long as you're prepared for them you'll be fine.

Post by: EvilPie on July 16, 2009, 11:58:05 AM
Well done mate.

Day one is always the toughest physically but easiest mentally because you're motivated.

Any days off you have will be because you can't be bothered. If you find yourself saying you've had a day off because you've hurt your ankle or you've got a bad big toe or something just ask yourself if that really is the reason.

If you need someone to moan and call you a lazy fucker again be sure to let me know.

The 2 mile walks are a great start to this and exactly what you need to be doing. They're easy but will burn calories and wake you up ready for the day. You will soon find that you have more energy later in the day so that you can maybe get in a session at the gym as well.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water. Not one big gulp, just take a bottle on your walk and have a sip every few minutes. In fact take 2 litre bottles. You won't notice the added weight of carrying them but you'll burn a few extra calories without even trying.

Good luck keeping this up. ;applause;

This usually depresses me - I go for an hours swim, half hour on a bike and an hour on the rowing machine in the gym.

Then I work out I've burnt enough calories to cover about half my breakfast :(

I think it might sometimes be better just not to know - because you don't half feel healthy. :D

I have a last gen smartphone, quite heavy, burns more cals :)

I think they measure calories burned due to the work of the task, but the calories the task *causes to be burned* can extend well beyond the time of the workout itself, into the next day.

try working out with some intensity, an hour on the rowing machine is ridic, why not do 2 mins sprint on the bike followed by 2 mins as hard and fast as poss on the rower followed by 2 mins rest for as many rounds as poss until you faint or puke up, jump in the pool to cool down, then a few days later do it again and see how many more rounds you can do.

why are there millions of recreational marathon runners and 7 recreational 800 meter runners? why does girgy prefer to walk for half an hour than stand up/lie down for 10 mins?

intensity is too hard innit

wasn't having a go, happy you're making a start, just trying to make the point that many many people go to the gym and walk on the treadmill while reading a magazine and wonder why they do it for years and get no results. I absolutely agree you should be starting off slowly, but in time think about doing shorter, harder stuff, it will work better I promise.

Next week im gonna start introducing some jogging in parts of my walk and build it up a bit more.

When i did go to the gym i used to do a 1 hour speed interval session on the treadmill, Doing 2 mins walking/2 mins running so i hope to get back into that when ive sorted a Gym out!

Your body will just adapt to whatever it's doing and you will find that activity easy with time.

When I was doing Brazilian Ju Jitsu we had 2 marathon runners turn up to have a go. Obviously they were super fit guys who could run for over 2 hours but after 2 minutes gentle sparring for the first time they were ready to throw up.

On the other hand if any of the guys I trained with tried to run the 50 metres back to our cars after our session we would probably just die.

This is what happens. You become fit for whatever activity it is you perform on a regular basis. Unless you change the intensity or the activity you will be doing yourself very little benefit.

This is what you will find Girgy. After a short while your 2 mile walk will be easy and will have no affect. You will need to do something different to maintain any progress.

I guess the key is variation. Walk, run, play squash, swim, gym, whatever.

It doesn't matter what you do as long as you struggle to do it. Presumably at the moment your 2 mile walk isn't easy. When it becomes easy you need to change, either by walking further and faster or by changing what you do completely.

Byron is spot on with his lying down and standing up routine. That's one of the thing I used to do regularly for a warm up and it's an absolute killer. It works more muscles than you would ever believe.

I have to say this thread is making me want to get back in to it. Unfortunately I'm a lazy bastardo so it's unlikely for a while.

I agree that it's best to vary the type of training and put in 'hard' and anaerobic training as well as walking. After a while the 2 mile walk will be easier but from then until ...forever it will continue to confer massive health benefits, as well as causing you to lose weight if you continue to eat sensibly. A 2 mile walk 4 days a week is waaaay more than most people get for exercise, and it's actually quite a lot of work if you're heavy to begin with.

Can you take steroids to uniquely lose weight?

One of my pals was a big guy but he was a bit fat but he didnt really train to lose weight when he was training but he lost a LOT of weight very quickly and got ripped but that was just a side effect of him training with roids, i think it's sustonal(sp) to get you ripped and deca(sp) to bulk up so can you just take the one that gets you ripped as a weight loss aid?

^^^ Don't take steroids whatever you do. they are primarily to build muscle and you need to know what your doing with them, correct dose titration etc, even then there is a significant chance of side effects.

With your current weight just do plenty of exercise, eat properly and healthily (don't diet) and the weight will fall off. I'm currently hitting the gym hard to lose some lbs at the moment, one of the rules I have set myself is that I can only play poker on days when I've done at least 30 mins exercise. Basically sitting down playing poker= you will get fat so do something to counteract it.

Bodybuilders tend to take other supplements to help burn fat which aren't safe either.

not everyone that takes steroids are bodybuilders though, if you wanted to lose weight what is the steroid that endurance athletes take, like the little skinny cyclists etc, if you wanted to just lose weight you couldnt take that(is it nandrolon or epo or whatever) the stuff lance armstrong was supposed to have taken to give you more endurance and stamina when training to lose weight?

I took steroids once for a couple of weeks but i didnt train properly so they didnt do shit, my pals would do 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off, but then one of my pals turned yellow and had to go to hospital, and that was enough for me, my pals used to get bad side effects i think from water retention my pals face used to swell up like a hampster and my other pal got bad acne on his back terrible.

Post by: Woodsey on July 17, 2009, 07:50:35 PM
EPO is used to increase the amount of O2 red blood cells can absorb so helps endurance athletes. Nandrolone is basically an anabolic steroid that is used to build muscle mass normally. The other reason athletes use it is because you can recover from training sessions quicker and basically train harder as a result, you wouldn't use it to help burn off fat.

I go for an hours swim, half hour on a bike and an hour on the rowing machine in the gym.

try working out with some intensity, an hour on the rowing machine is ridic, why not do 2 mins sprint on the bike followed by 2 mins as hard and fast as poss on the rower followed by 2 mins rest for as many rounds as poss until you faint or puke up, jump in the pool to cool down, then a few days later do it again and see how many more rounds you can do.

why are there millions of recreational marathon runners and 7 recreational 800 meter runners? why does girgy prefer to walk for half an hour than stand up/lie down for 10 mins?

intensity is too hard innit


:D I used to be a bit more sensible when I went to either the gym or swimming before work on a regular basis - but now I commute so far they're not open early enough and I can't be arsed to do it after work.

That kind of workout is now what I do whenever I stay in a hotel because I want to make the most of the facilities - absolutely spot on it's down to difficulty, I'm not fussed about getting fit I just do what I enjoy the most now.

I might consider the intensive training idea for swimming though, could be an interesting challenge. Although that does involve the minimum amount of effort of getting a bus into town -  so it's probable not likely to last more than a fortnight. :D

I know not in the same league as roids but I was on creatine for quite a while about 4/5 years ago when I was 17-18. I got pretty big and couldn't train for a week because of exams or something and my heart would just speed up and slow down randomly a couple of times every day for 3 or 4 days. Scared the shit outta me and won't touch anything again.

we used to take creatine but when i was really young but my pals were 16 and 17 and i was 15 so i think my body wasnt fully developed to handle it and i used to take shit loads but never used to mix it properly just used to eat spoonfulls of it with orange juice and i had the worst runs ever and was sick a lot, weird really that that stuff fucked me up but steroids was alright.

Slight Brag post coming up.

Went to Bolton G last night and Scooped £1k in a 3 way chop.

There were 125 runners for the £20 double chance which took around £4.6k. I didnt have the best run of cards but managed to turn my 6k starting stack into 30k at the break. Only had 1 premium hand Ts  Th   right up until the last two tables. Pulled two crazy bluffs with  Tc  8s and  2d  3d on my first table which annoyed this one guy. Moved tables and was sat next to Mel Lofthouse, a limped pot saw me check  3h 3c  in the BB, Flop came  3s  2s  Kh and Mel bets 6k from 1st position, i move in behind her and she calls with  Kd  Qh and i double thru. Then i got the biggest hand id seen all night  Kh  Kd and raised it up to 40k and the chip leader on my table moved in after me, I call and love it when he flips  Qs  Qh and i double thru to about 200k(1.3mill in play). Made the final as chip leader then find   Kh  Kd again after a short stack had pushed all in, i snapped him and he shows  Aspades  Ks he fails to hit and im upto about 350k. I then took a player out blind on blind, he limps and i check my  6d  4d Flop comes  6h  4h  Td and he moves all in and i snap him off he shows  Tc  5c Turn is another 6 and he misses the 2 outer and i was upto 600k. Got down to 3 handed and lost a coupe of big pots and was down to 180k before doubling back up again. After that hand we were all pretty even and i offered a deal and we all took £1k each.

On the weight loss front i am feeling better about myself already after 3 days. Bit knackered after getting in at 5.30am this morning but im gonna head out for a walk later on this afternoon.

When i was training before i used to take something called Efferdrine (spelling?) which speed your heart rate up. I felt good whilst using that and i still have some left but im not gonna start using it again until i get a bit fitter.

Cheers for all the advice tho guys.

Ephidrine is just a mild form of speed and a strong form of caffeine.

It doesn't just speed your heart up. It is a stimulant which gives you an energy high. Speeding up of the heart is one of the things this high causes. The ephedra itself doesn't directly speed up your heart.

Avoid it while you are over weight imo. You don't want to put extra pressure on your heart.

It's an effective fat burner without a doubt but you don't need it unless you're looking to get ripped. That's not for a while yet.

Main problem with ephidrine imo is that it gives you a high and also associated lows. This means that you will start to need it to overcome the lows. You start with 1 tablet and love it because you get a buzz and your training is brilliant. Some time soon you feel tired and lethargic so take a tablet to pick you up and it's brilliant again.

Before long 1 tablet isn't enough to overcome the low so you take 2. This gives a bigger low. So on and so forth.......

Ephidrine can be safe but you have to be really strict with your intake. If I were you I'd avoid it like swine flu atm.

Whilst you're overweight just have a coffee. That has similar effects just a lot milder.

Not suggesting anything but £1k is like 3 years worth of gym membership! You could pay upfront for one and still have the bulk of the money to do as you like.

Bit of extra info for you. There are actually quite a lot of side effects associated with Ephedrine its not as safe as people think. I was reading something a few months back about the FDA (US drug authorities) and the fact they may withdraw Ephedrine based drugs from the market because of concerns over safety.

As I've said before at your weight if you eat properly and exercise enough the weight will fall off. Don't use any of the athletes supplements that are out there, the side effects can be quite serious in some and its not worth fucking about with your health.

Hey girgy.. keep it going...

Im now on week 5 of my diet/exercies plan... I tried to get a prop bet going but go no interest lol..

Anyway Im down 17lbs in 5 wks..

Some tips that led me to success

Soup for lunch - low fat low cals and quite filling

EA sports active for the wii - alongside my ice hockey training is giving me a decent all body workout.. cheaper and less of a hassle than heading to the gym

Cheat once a week.. To stop craving etc i've actually eaten crap one night a week usually before a big exercise session Pizza, Curry chips etc... Really combats the cravings.

Flavoured water - substitued this for Fizzy juice and am actually enjoying it - 3 ltrs for a £1 at Asda and tesco...

Good luck with this anyway.. Once I get down to my target goal im never going back :D

Just back from my walk. Did it in 33.27 now with a slight jog in as i really needed a poo for most of the way round!

Diets still going well and im feeling slimmer! Looking forward to getting weighed 2moro to find out if ive lost any. I have a target of 5lbs and will be very dissapointed not to have lost more to be honest!

On another note i have a tip for a horse tonight...

Came from the same guy who gave me the last one which won so im 1/1 for tipping.

8.25 Leicester  6 Maggie Lou T Eaves/K Ryan

Form :  70-8445  Age :  3  Weight :  9-3

Been told its been training to win this race and looks a decent price at 12/1.

Im on for £30 EW @12's and will bag a monkey if it wins.

Good Luck!

Ok so today is my weigh in day...

Ive just been for a 2 mile walk and completed it in 33.35. I think i have found my limit for this walk as i now have to put a slight jog into my last 200m or so to beat my previous time so i will carry on with the same distance but im gonna add in a bit more jogging each day.

I am also going to look at a gym near me on saturday and hopefully it will have what im looking for and i can sign up then.

My eating is going well and i have managed to stop myself from buying junk at services whilst out on the road! This was a big habbit of mine and now i take the right ammount of snap with me to get me through the day until i have my main meal at night.

So onto the scales.....

My target was to lose 5 lbs this week.

Last Weeks Weight: 23st 7lbs

This Weeks Weight: 23st 2lbs

Total Loss: 5lbs

My target again for next week is going to be 5lbs.

Yea mate was just about to!

Been working lots over the weekend so i havnt done any walking BUT i have been keeping up with my diet and still feeling good!

Ive just took delivery of some new threads for the weekend and my mum says they look well on me butl there is still a long way to go!

I think i might have a more full time secure driving position from today so once i find out i will be able to get into more of a routine and hit the gym!!

Looking forward to DTD this weekend and gonna keep up with it till Saturday when im gonna have a few beers!

Good to keep up the diet but Kin is still 100% right. Ultimately that's an excuse. No-one is so busy they can't fit in a 30 min walk every day. Doesn't need to either/or, exercise and diet can be done together.

Aw bless him. At least he's doing half of what he's supposed to.

Come on guys, let's give him a man hug and tell him to leave it until next week.

Girgy FFS!!!!!! What a load of bollocks!!!!!

If you didn't want to go for a walk just don't go but don't look for stupid excuses. It's better to be honest with yourself. Taking a couple of days off is fine but don't say it's because you're busy and didn't have half an hour to spare. That's just insulting people's intelligence including your own.

No, the skin itself isn't waterproof.  When you sit in the bath, the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet absorb water.  The reason the rest of your skin doesn't absorb the water is because of the oils that the skin produces that effectively waterproofs the skin.  If you rubbed lard into your hands and feet before you have a bath they won't go all prune-like as they won't absorb water as they would normally.  So the little holes in your skin actually help to make it more waterproof, not less.

I typed that exact phrase into google, and:


its something called: Osmosis....which is the movement of water from one area to another. Water moves out from your hands and feet and makes them wrinkly. The difference between hands & feet..and other body parts, is that your hands and feet have an extra layer of skin.


Now you know.

Right sorry i havnt updated this thread since last week! I punched a hole accidently dropped my laptop and bust the screen so its off to the repairers!

Last Thursdays weigh in results are as follows...

Last Weeks Weight: 22st 12lbs

This Weeks Weight: 22st 6lbs

This Weeks Loss: 6lbs

Total Loss: 1st 1lb

I feel pleased with that after a weekend down at DTD but since i have returned i have not done much exercise and a few bad habits are creeping back into my diet. I think this thursdays weigh in will be a little dissapointing but i am gonna put that right by going for a walk on wednesday and thursday mornings! Hope this little glitch will be a kick up the arse for me!

1 month to the blonde bash and DTD so im gonna kick on starting in the morning!

Eh? Walking is a great form of exercise. Girgy is 22st + Running is the last thing he needs to be doing at the moment. I'm 16st and if i had to run for 5 mins as fast as i could, i prob wouldn't want to run again for a fortnight, besides i might drop my kebab if i run too fast.

Keep up the good work Girgy. Doing well imo.

There is no point.  There is a reason that the oils are secreted elsewhere to create a water-proof barrier, as we evolved as river-side dwellers and spent a large amount of time in the water (well, that's one major theory that's widely supported).  We don't have the oils secreted on our hands and feet for grip I guess?  We've evolved that way, and the disadvantage of absorbing water through the skin on hour hands and feet is outweighed by the advantage gained by the grip it gives us for making tools and holding things, etc.  We are far from perfect - as we weren't 'designed'.

Eh? Walking is a great form of exercise. Girgy is 22st + Running is the last thing he needs to be doing at the moment. I'm 16st and if i had to run for 5 mins as fast as i could, i prob wouldn't want to run again for a fortnight, besides i might drop my kebab if i run too fast.

Keep up the good work Girgy. Doing well imo.

hahaha. keep it goin Girg's, dont fkin quit and stay motivated! gl mate

Kinboshi works in mysterious ways, it is not for you to question them but only to accept that He knows best.

We could be on to something here.

Everyone knows that Satan's greatest deception was convincing people that he didn't exist.

Maybe Kinboshi God's trying to do the same thing by constantly blabbering on about how he doesn't exist either?

Digital over analogue every time. You get decent ones with metal feetpads that measure your body resistance to work out some kind of body water/ body fat content. Argos ftw.

Keep it up. Boldie got it right, your goal at the moment is to establish a habit.
I find walking a bit boring so I always bring tunes and try to change my route. Can't run atm, doctor's advice/fked knee. Walking 45 mins a day is a lot more exercise than commonly thought, especially if you have a few extra pounds.

Post by: EvilPie on August 13, 2009, 02:02:50 PM
Forget the body fat content ones. They're shit and a big waste of money. If you want proof get on some of these scales and see what it says your body fat content is. Then pick up a 20kg suitcase and get back on the scales. Your body fat will have gone up according to the machine. Utter bollocks!!

Just get the most expensive set of scales you can afford that tell you how much you weigh. Whether they are digital or analogue doesn't matter. The more they cost generally the better they will be.

Alternatively don't bother weighing yourself at all. Just take a look in the mirror.

You're clearly not stupid so you know that by keeping up your routine and not eating badly you are going to lose weight. As long as you don't break the routine you'll know that you are doing well and never have to get on the scales.

But as you lose weight the wear rate will decrease. This must also be taken in to account.

gl mate

not easy losing weight
one thing that might help which i think is a pretty good advice.

like most fat ppl they eat fast (including me) just take your time and chew ur food properly. it will make u feel more full so you wont have to eat as much. and try and keep everything balanced dont eat a redic amount of meat too.

Slacked off a bit last week after a pretty bad week!

My car broke down last saturday and i was involved in an accident on motorway last monday! No excuse to not do any exercise but i just felt like shit and was worried over the accident as my job was possibly on the line (even though it wasnt my fault) and i was also trying to sort a car out!

Just bought some new electronic scales today and ive been weighed an im gonna start my new weigh in's on a sunday.

My weight stands an 22st 6lbs.

Going to get back on my diet and exercise 2moro and kick on as its 3 weeks to BB8.

My goal is to be 21st by BB8 so thats a stone and half in 3 weeks!

[  ] He went easy on me as I havent done any exercise for a year

I weighed myself last week and was shocked to see that I was up to 10st8. This figure might not sound much, but given that I'm only 5ft6, and that a few months ago I was about 9st10, it's actually quite an increase. Add to the fact a few people have mentioned that I seem to have put on weight.

Something must be done!

So, my plans are: less alcohol, less takeaways, less sugary drinks, less poker (pointless live £20 games etc), more fruit, healthier food, etc.

Was reading an interesting article on the merits of walking vs running. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-242-304-311-8402-0,00.html

tl;dr version: running one mile burns twice as many calories as walking one mile. you can run approx twice as fast as you can walk. therefore running burns 4 times as many calories per hour as walking.

With that in mind I've just used google maps to plan myself a route to run. I've come up with a 3 mile route, with the latter part being significantly uphill. Gonna grab some lunch and head off in an hour or so :)

As expected, seeing as i've not exercised in god knows how long, that was quite hard work. Had to walk a bit of it towards the end up the hill. Still, 3 miles in 40 minutes isn't terrible for a first effort.

That's bollocks bud and you know it. You just gotta do it. Late nights playing poker don't have to mean you can't still do exercise if you get up a bit later.

You don't have to quit poker either, but only allow yourself to play on days when your exercise is already done.

Just been weighed and im upto 22st 9lbs which is a gain of 3lbs.

Just had a chat with Cos and i have agreed to set an exercise schedule.

I have set a four day schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

I will post if i am going to swap a day but if i miss a day in the weekly schedule i have to make it up and do 2 days or i will have to give £10 to charity!

This will run for 2 months and will end on the 31st October.

My personal target weight for this challenge is going to be 21st

Thanks to Cos for this kick up the arse!

If you want to do this enough you'd go out in a tropical storm. It's always an excuse or a delay.

Get your trainers on and fuck off outside!

Walking in the rain is refreshing, and on the plus side your clothes will get wet resulting in more weight to carry = burn more calories. Result. Now get out there before I get my whip out.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

Day 1 and you bottle it because it rains!!

Honestly mate if you don't want to do this then don't but stop taking the piss.

If you want to do it then go out and buy yourself a decent coat or an umbrella because believe me the weather will get worse at some point. What are you going to do when it starts getting cold in a month or so?

What about when it's snowing? Will you walk or will you just sit on your lazy arse.

If you want to do walking every day then you need to buy the appropriate attire. Decent walking shoes + a decent coat mean that no matter what mother nature can throw at you you still get to go out.

And while I'm at it what's with this 4 day program? You're not doing anything too strenuous so get out there every day ffs!! The 4 day plan just gives you an excuse to take a day off because you can "catch up tomorrow" and make everything better again.

Get a grip or delete this thread and stop wasting everyone's time.

Dont want to dash your hopes here Girgy but that equates to about 2 slices of bread n butter.

Your point?

Point is  you got do nearly 3k to burn off a nothing sarnie, so the next time he looks at a double cheeseburger see at it as a 5k jog instead of a err double cheeseburger.

That was like the first time I'd been back on a treadmill in like 10months!

Wait while I'm doing an hour and burning 900-1000 calories!! I need to build myself up again! I know I can do it!

Exercising allows you to burn more calories after the exercise too though. You'll be burning more calories sleeping at night if you exercised during the day than if you didn't. So it's not just 2 slices of bread and butter.

It's not JUST calories in and calories out - I agree.  But that's a major part of it, obviously.

Poker:

Enjoyed DTD again this weekend!

I ran deep again but failed at the crucial stage AGAIN! I played 12 hours of solid poker and never got my chips in bad and won all my major flips until the last one :(

Played at Gala Leeds last night and made the final table 2nd in chips but managed to bust 2nd hand for £55 GG!

Fitness:

Been to gym this morning and had a good work out! My day off tomorrow but im going to go swimming instead!

Looking forward to the blonde bash this weekend and gonna get a good session in this week to get ready for the football!

Just been weighed and im upto 22st 9lbs which is a gain of 3lbs.

Just had a chat with Cos and i have agreed to set an exercise schedule.

I have set a four day schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

I will post if i am going to swap a day but if i miss a day in the weekly schedule i have to make it up and do 2 days or i will have to give £10 to charity!

This will run for 2 months and will end on the 31st October.

My personal target weight for this challenge is going to be 21st

Thanks to Cos for this kick up the arse!

Just been weighed and i have lost 7llbs.

Current weight is 22st 2lbs.

So i went to the gym this morning for a swim but the pool was being used by some ladies doing aqua aerobics so i did a light weights session.

Decided to go back after work for a swim instead and ive just got back after a few lenghts and 10 minutes in the steam room!

Feeling fresh now!

Gym is very boring but if you can get into that habit and force yourself to out-calorie the previous week's total, then that's the way to go imo.
I've done the same thing as I do most summers, thanks to non-stop racing, put on about a stone and a half. Six or seven takeaways and a couple of beers each night will do that to you.
Time to get it off again now innit. If you can hit 2000 calories a week plus an hour of weights, it'll drop off.

Im going to fully concentrate on my fitness now and eating well!

Girgy. If you're serious about your diet and you promise that you'll stick to what I say then I will give you a plan that will definitely lose weight whilst not putting your health at risk.

Like others have said it's not all about calories, it's the quality of the food.

When I used to train hard for muscle development my intake was about 5000 calories per day. That was just to maintain my weight of around 15st 10lb. I included a cheat day where you can have a pizza, not a shit pizza either, dominos or similar.

You will need to alter your training a bit as well but I don't mind helping with that as well.

If you aren't going to stick to it then it's a waste of your time and mine and I won't do it. If you let me spend time doing this for you and then break it after a week I'll come up to Leeds and bitch slap you a lot.

Well done on the eating down but how's the eating going?

I don't like to use the word 'diet' but eating more healthily will make as much difference as working your socks off in the gym

my eating is ok but i cud do better! its something im going to look at more!

Evilpie will be along in a minute.....

Start posting everything you eat in a day, that should help you cut out any nonsense.

'Something I'm going to look at more' is a bit pathetic really though - JFDI!

Girgy. If you're serious about your diet and you promise that you'll stick to what I say then I will give you a plan that will definitely lose weight whilst not putting your health at risk.

Like others have said it's not all about calories, it's the quality of the food.

When I used to train hard for muscle development my intake was about 5000 calories per day. That was just to maintain my weight of around 15st 10lb. I included a cheat day where you can have a pizza, not a shit pizza either, dominos or similar.

You will need to alter your training a bit as well but I don't mind helping with that as well.

If you aren't going to stick to it then it's a waste of your time and mine and I won't do it. If you let me spend time doing this for you and then break it after a week I'll come up to Leeds and bitch slap you a lot.

[  ] Domino's make a good pizza

What I meant was that it doesn't have to be a weight watchers pizza or one of those crap things that's never been a pizza.

It's a cheat day. You can even have curry or a chinese. Keeps you sane whilst on a healthy diet.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My bad

Can i have a large deep pan with kebab meat, onions, jalepenos, sweetcorn, boppleberries and chilli sauce please then

Yup. If that's what you desire.

As long as they're low fat boppleberries. Everything else is fine and dandy.

Seriously though you really can have what you want on a cheat day. What you find though is that because your results have been so good you don't bother with the cheat day. It's just glutony for the sake of it and the diet for the rest of the week doesn't exactly leave you hungry and craving real food.

Like I said it's a lot of food, 5000 calories, just the right food. I'm not talking salad and shit like that either. It's food that you can actually enjoy.

Disclaimer: Eating 5000 calories whilst doing fuck all training will not make you slim and muscular even if it's 5000 calories worth of lettuce.

Tbh i just don't think it is that good even if it was cheaper, the local independent Pizza joints are better if you can find a good one.

i used to deliver domino's years ago, think they used to try and keep food costs at 25% of selling price, obv got wages and rent and stuff as well

was watching some program the other night about how hard it is to get a job these days and some guy with a masters degree got a job as an assistant manager in a domino's store. in my day they'd give you that job if you were almost able to spell your own name, they used to have a bong at the back of the shop... not that i would ever do that sort of thing of course

Nah. Too greasy imo.

Dominos are good and their garlic pizza bread is the nutz.

Agree that some of the indepenants are very good as well although you can't get ham or bacon on most of them obviously which lets them down a bit.

On the plus side they will happily cover your pizza with kebab meat and possibly deep fry it if you ask nicely.

It is possible for Girgy to have lost body fat whilst increasing muscle mass and therefore may put on a little weight at the same time as getting slimmer.

I'm not sure though as Dan should be concentrating a lot more on cardiovascular workouts than weight based ones atm and at his current weight if his diet and training are right he should be dropping weight regardless.

You simply shouldn't be gaining weight then Dan.

If this thread is going to work and help you, pls post DAILY (it's not that much of a chore) your gym sessions in as much detail as possible and what you ate and drank throughout the day.

I believe a blonde very kindly wrote you a good email with an eating plan. Have you stuck to it?

no, I thought this but have been persuaded otherwise, body fat % is down to your diet unless you are fit enough to be able to train really hard. treadmills ain't gonna do that much. this has been a huge debate over many threads on teh interwebs and the conclusion seems to be if you wanna get fit get strong first, because all of the other 9 aspects of fitness are positively affected by strength, and thus will allow you to get more adaptation from them if you are strong. this is why there are a zillion different crossfit hybrid systems popping up to put more strength work into the programming. but the best advice is to just do starting strength first. this is of course many times harder than bouncing along some treadmill and if going on a treadmill makes girgs feel good then fine but I'm afraid he'll just join the masses of people who go to the gym for years and never actually change. doing anything of course will have some affect on a complete novice - the nose picking masturbation thing I was saying - and the scales absolutely do lie, taking measurements and photographs weekly is far better than weighing yourself.

I have stopped going to CF and just started SS in my garage. When I go back I will hopefully be a lot stronger and therefore will be able to do the workouts harder/faster/heavier and will get fitter a lot quicker than doing them slow and light like I am atm and not really gaining much from them. if of course your definition of fitness is purely being able to jog slowly for long distances then strength is perhaps less important but will still help to reduce the knee pain/shin splints/back aches that many runners seem to acquire and obv has benefits for life in general. just as a final point there is some speculation that treadmill running does not bring your hamstrings into play like normal running would do and may well lead to imbalances and problems in later life, i believe eric cressey has written about this.

havent read the whole post byron as I know what you're gonna say but there's lots of theories one way or the other on this. I just think Girgy will drop more weight quickly atm if he gets in as much cardio as possible.

I'm not gonna be really posting on the thread anymore though as a chat on msn with Girgy tonight made me think he's just not willing to commit 100% to this.

Dan should be concentrating a lot more on cardiovascular workouts than weight based ones atm

no, I thought this but have been persuaded otherwise, body fat % is down to your diet unless you are fit enough to be able to train really hard. treadmills ain't gonna do that much. this has been a huge debate over many threads on teh interwebs and the conclusion seems to be if you wanna get fit get strong first, because all of the other 9 aspects of fitness are positively affected by strength, and thus will allow you to get more adaptation from them if you are strong. this is why there are a zillion different crossfit hybrid systems popping up to put more strength work into the programming. but the best advice is to just do starting strength first. this is of course many times harder than bouncing along some treadmill and if going on a treadmill makes girgs feel good then fine but I'm afraid he'll just join the masses of people who go to the gym for years and never actually change. doing anything of course will have some affect on a complete novice - the nose picking masturbation thing I was saying - and the scales absolutely do lie, taking measurements and photographs weekly is far better than weighing yourself.

I have stopped going to CF and just started SS in my garage. When I go back I will hopefully be a lot stronger and therefore will be able to do the workouts harder/faster/heavier and will get fitter a lot quicker than doing them slow and light like I am atm and not really gaining much from them. if of course your definition of fitness is purely being able to jog slowly for long distances then strength is perhaps less important but will still help to reduce the knee pain/shin splints/back aches that many runners seem to acquire and obv has benefits for life in general. just as a final point there is some speculation that treadmill running does not bring your hamstrings into play like normal running would do and may well lead to imbalances and problems in later life, i believe eric cressey has written about this.

I really disagree with this theory a lot for someone trying to lose weight.

I really disagree with this theory a lot for someone trying to lose weight.

It's a theory for people who want to lose weight, gain muscle and get fit - and it's one that'll work for people who are really 'going for it'.

For people who want to lose a bit of weight and get a bit fitter by doing a bit of weight watching and a bit exercise - it won't work.

A lot of people will fail with that approach but that's mainly because they think they can still eat loads just because they're doing a bit of exercise - eating how much you need rather than how much you want is always going to be the easiest way for overweight people to lose weight.

The exercise part helps and accelerates it - but it won't work if you're still eating too much overall.

"Got weighed on monday and i have gained 3lbs but i feel slimmer"


Sorry, but I'm pmsl here  rotflmfao  ;tightend;

Its Called Muscle Mr Dog!

Oh dear. This is very disillusioned Mr Girgy. If you think that you somehow managed to pack on 3lb of raw solid muscle in 1 week purely doing treadmill, swimming and steam room sessions then you're wrong.

It is impossible to do this if you're a hardcore weight trainer so please don't start thinking this is what's happening to you. You are once again lying to yourself.

FWIW I like what Byron has said (for once :)). There's no better way to lose weight than by weight training.

If you manage to do a good weight training session your body is still burning calories for a few hours afterwards. A steady treadmill session will not do this.

Ok I hope Dan won't mind me posting this but in light of a few good posts on the thread I thought I should as I feel the only way we can help Girgy is by being harsh when he needs it.

He seems to be getting down the gym and making a decent effort with that but when I told him to post his diet on the thread and what he's eating throughout the day he said he didn't want to do that for all to see. This to me indicates that he's only doing half of what's required which essentially means he's just wasting his effort in the gym.

Yea sorry for not updating was gonna group them into a few days rather than update every day...

Gym is going well and im still enjoying it!

Saturday i went and did a treadmill session followed by a swim and a relaxing steam room.

Monday i did a treadmil session.

Today i have been for a swim and sauna.

Got weighed on monday and i have gained 3lbs but i feel slimmer and feel like my legs are toning up more!





Is it possible that you're enjoying it because it's so bloody easy? I keep reading about treadmill this, swim that and then the nice relaxing steam room.

I haven't once seen you say:

"wow I'm totally knackered. Grafted my bollocks off on the treadmill, did a fast paced swim that really burned my shoulders and was so fucked I had to have a steam room while I got my breath back".

These are the kind of thoughts I would expect from a person who is training properly.

I'm not knocking what you're doing Girgy but if you really want to lose weight you have got to put some effort in.

Yes it's been difficult but you're over the first hurdle now and seem to have a routine. Time to step it up a gear.

Sorry, but I'm pmsl here  rotflmfao  ;tightend;

It is possible for Girgy to have lost body fat whilst increasing muscle mass and therefore may put on a little weight at the same time as getting slimmer.

I'm not sure though as Dan should be concentrating a lot more on cardiovascular workouts than weight based ones atm and at his current weight if his diet and training are right he should be dropping weight regardless.

Im only doing light weight sessions.... Biceps and Triceps to tone my arms...bit of chest and shoulders.



You simply shouldn't be gaining weight then Dan.

If this thread is going to work and help you, pls post DAILY (it's not that much of a chore) your gym sessions in as much detail as possible and what you ate and drank throughout the day.

I believe a blonde very kindly wrote you a good email with an eating plan. Have you stuck to it?

Also weigh yourself daily.
Weighing yourself weekly doesnt work.

Daily graph plotting ftw


A daily graph is a great idea, it really motivates you. I started one which runs for 3 months from the 19th of Sept to the 19 of Dec with a weight loss of two stones.

I weigh myself every morning, and if my plot line gets close to the controll line I know I have to have an extra good day to open the gap again.


(http://i38.tinypic.com/o6d4w2.png)

Weight loss since start:     5 lbs lost
Latest goal progress:     1.5 lbs below
Time to Goal End:     2.6 months
Target weight change:     9.7 lbs/month

wp Girgy. For someone who wasn't going to the gym, who started going to the gym, and is still going to the gym, you're in the top 10 percent. I admire your tenacity. Do not post your food blog if you do not want to, although pics of the odd meal would be interesting.

There was a dude on telly this morning, BBC Breakfast. He's a surgeon, was 27 stone, now 17 stone 3 years later. He opted for a gastric band, with obviously dramatic results, but I think it's a slightly risky procedure. He's now doing triathlons and cycling the length of the country. Not necessarily everyone's goal, but quite inspirational

Sigh - Girgy fail imo.

I keep on seeing excuses, and no real commitment.  It's easy to eat the correct food if you really want to.  I'm not overweight (ldo), but I eat a low-fat diet because of a history of heart-disease in my family.  Occasionally, I'll eat some crap (like Matt said earlier in the thread, you can 'earn' the right to break your rules) - but most of the time I'm pretty careful about what I eat.  I still eat loads, but I try to keep saturated and hydrogenated fat down to a minimum.  Not saying my diet would be suitable for you or for anyone else, but I think it's right for me.  This means I tend to avoid certain foods, even if I like them.  There's always something else nice I can eat.

As for the exercise, I think everyone can get too hung up on exactly which sort of exercise is right or wrong, or better or worse.  But as long as you're doing something, regularly, and it's pushing you slightly beyond your comfort level - then it's probably doing you good.  If you're cruising through it and it's easy, then it's probably not helping too much.

Now he does some excercise where as before he did none, he has'nt changed his diet so the exercise is wasted.

Ball bags sir.

Eh?

Isn't that what Cos just said? Or are you quoting it because it's wrong?

I think it's right btw. Doing some excercise without changing your diet is a waste of time. Better to spend half as much time in the gym and dedicate the time saved to preparing some decent meals.

My interpretation is that if you don't change the diet and only go to the gym - you're not going to lose weight, and you're not going to get that fit.

But you'll still be not as bad as if you weren't going - so it is worth it, just about.

Right been reading these replies while at work today and think i should have my say....

Im getting the impression from people that they think i am just going to the gym and doing half a job then coming home and stuffing my face with shit! This is not the case! Just cos i dont wanna write down what food im eating doesnt mean to say its all rubbish that i eat!

When i go to the gym and get on the treadmill i dont like it but i feel good after i come off and i come of sweating my bollocks off! I may not write this in my updates but i will in future! I dont just get in the pool and faff about i amdoing as many lenghts as i can and then i chill out in the steam room then hit the showers!

There seams to be a big devide on what exercise is best being cardio or weights etc... I have been going to the gym over a month now since my faliure and i am steadily getting into a routine and slowly upping my exercise! But what i am doing now is 100 times better than over a month ago where i was doing NO exercise and eating a lot of crap!

I have gone from doing no exercise and eating 2 bags of crisps and a chocolate bar and other junk to going to the gym 4-6 times a week and changing my eating a hell of a lot! I know this is gonna take a bit of time to get where i need to be but im on the right course!

To Cos: When i speak to you on MSN i expect that to be private and not for you to post on this thread about things i have explained to you! I thank you for getting me started with this but as you have said twice before you are done with the thread etc... if thats the case then fine mate!

To others that have sent me advice ty very much!

So today at the gym i did 36 minutes on the tredmill. I covered 3.5km burning 450 calories. Like i said above i came off the tredmill wet thru with sweat! I then had 5 minutes on the punch bag letting rip with some rights and lefts. After that i got in the pool, i mixed up my stokes and paces.

I am going to up the time on the tredmill to 45 minutes on saturdays and i hope to be back upto 60 minutes by next month!

Sorry mate I didn't think I'd posted anything out of line but I shouldnt have mentioned our convo  - fair play seems you're making an effort just maybe not conveying it well on the thread.

I wasn't being a ***** because I like being a *****, I really wanna see you achieve something with this. I'll be the first to pat you on the back when things are going well but I'll give you an earful at times when I don't think you're doing what you should. That's just me.

Right 2 sessions to report...

Yesterday i did 36 minutes on the treadmill. I covered 3.4km burning 440 calories. I mixed my session up doing 1min 30 @ 5km/7km alternate then midway through i did 8 minutes of hill walking @ 5km with gradients of 3/5/3/7 so going easy hard easy harder. I the finised off back at 5km/7km alternate. I came off sweating like a fat bloke in a cake shop!

I know there is room for impovement on this and am going to be upping the time to 45 minutes tomorrow.

Today is supposed to be a rest day but instead i went for a swim. Nothing to extreme today as im gonna have a big session tomorrow before DTD!

On another note i was chatting to a guy at the gym today and he recomended a supliment called Phase 2 which is a Carb Blocker...Just wondered if anybody had any advice on this?

Good work fella - sounds like you're winding it up nicely.  You'll be running for over an hour soon and not even blinking.

I wouldn't waste your money on any of that supplement crap.  There aren't shortcuts to get to where you're going, and those supplements will just make your wallet lighter...

At the moment im not constantly running the full 36min! But i have done before whilst out in Oz so i know i can do it! Im just building it up before i get to that stage with some interval training!

I will be upto 60mins interval training by next month!

The last time I had a blocked carb, it was on a 1968 Cortina with a 1.6L OHV "Kent" Straight-4  engine.

The blockage, (When I eventually found it) turned out to be a berry from a hawthorn bush. What a bugger that was.

God knows how it got in there, I recon it must have been stuck to the nozzle of the filler in the petrol station.

Seriously Girgy don't use supplements especially carb blockers. Just cut your carb intake a bit instead ldo.

Supplements make a big difference when you're training at high intensity but there's absolutely nothing that you can't achieve at the moment simply by training as you are and making a few improvements to your diet.

If you buy supplements you'll just get pissed off and de-motivated because you'll wonder why they don't work.

Good to hear you were sweating like a fat bloke in a cake shop. Sounds a lot better than "finished off with a nice relaxing sauna" doesn't it? Eye of the tiger!!!!

Your next goal should be to finish your session sweating like a nonce in a nursery.

Today i stepped it up a gear! I did 45 minutes on the treadmill covering 4.6km and burning 550 calories.With about 7 minutes to go i got a tingle in my legs and felt good and finished off strongly. I am just 0.2km off of 3 miles now so my next aim will be to do 4.8km in under 45 mins! I came off the treadmill sweating like a fat birds crack!

Did a quick powerswim before hitting the jacuzzi and steam room!

I feel in good shape for DTD today and hope this helps me mentally!

"Intake of 3 grams per day or greater of omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of bleeding, although there is little evidence of significant bleeding risk at lower doses. Very large intakes of fish oil/omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke."

this thread goes into it in some detail, should site research articles n stuff if you bother reading it

general it's good for you article

important not to confuse fish oil with omega 3. a tesco capsule has 1g of fish oil with 0.3g omega 3.

you shouldn't take too much cod liver oil as it contains vitamin A and you can overdose on that

OK, I'd like to read some of those 'trials' and see how relevant and scientific they are.  For example, some are completely irrelevant to what you were talking about.  One is about the "Effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on major coronary events in hypercholesterolaemic patients" - what has that got to do with taking fish oils to aid with sports injuries/arthritis/prevention of heart disease?

A lot of what's written on that page is pseudo-science used in order to sell a product. 

Fish-oil MIGHT be beneficial in a number of areas.  It might not be.  A self-styled nutritionist guru like Gillian Mckeith isn't where I'd like to take my advice from.

Antioxidants are meant to help people live longer.  In properly conducted scientific trials, there was actually evidence that those on antioxidants were actually dying from heart disease at a younger age than those on the placebo.  Taking loads of vitamin C is meant to ward off colds and other ailments - based on what?  The fact that a deficiency in vitamin C can cause issues and therefore by extending the logic taking loads must be really good for you?

That does look like a balanced and well researched article with good sources.

It doesn't say anything about joint or muscle pain though, it mainly talks about fat.

And the primary conclusions are

Quote
The amount of EPA/DHA per capsule may vary with the brand. Capsules can contain anywhere from 250-500mg. Most healthy folks don’t need more than 3-6 capsules per day to meet or exceed the amounts that show benefits.

Quote
Looking at the body of evidence as a whole, fish oil (or increased fish consumption) has great potential for improving cardiovascular health. But for reducing body fat, the effects are minor to nonexistent.

I'm less cynical than Kinboshi, I don't really have any complaints about those findings.


Title: Re: Girgy85's fatboy diaries.
Post by: kinboshi on October 06, 2009, 12:26:33 PM
I'm very cynical...about everything.

I'd like to see one, just one, trial on fish-oils that shows the direct affect on an improvement on cardiovascular health.  That second quote says "great potential".  Doesn't that mean the studies/trials/experiments didn't show anything?

If it's a muscle tear and you think there's swelling inside then yes ice away.

If it's a joint problem then by icing it you're making it a lot worse.

Get it looked at first so that you know what you're dealing with then decide whether to use ice or heat.

I was comparing lots of commonly held 'truths' that actually have no scientific evidence to back them up.  Just because something sounds plausible, it doesn't make it true.

For what it's worth I was taken in by the supplements peddlers for quite a time.  Must have spent a fair bit on all sorts of stuff.  Since then I've become very sceptical about a lot of things.

2 day report....

Yesterday i struggled to get out of bed but i finally managed to get myself up and went to the gym! I did 36 minutes of hill walking on the tredmill, the last 8 minutes i did some flat jogging. Covered 3.2km burning 440 calories.

This morning i woke up wondering why my alarm hadnt gone off? I forgot to put the phone on charge last night and battery had died! I still woke up at a good time and headed off to the gym. Started off with a 6 minute program on the bike as the tredmills were all in use. I finally got on a tredmill and put in 45 minutes. I got about 25 minutes into the session and felt so knackered. I carried on but not as hard as i know i can go. I finished the 45 minutes, i had covered 4km and burnt 460 calories. I still came off wetter than Annettes pants after she had been dreaming about me!

Tomorrow is a day off so i will recharge my batterys for a big session on saturday!

On a serious note.......Ive been following this thread with interest cos my younger/bigger brother has been on a 'change your life around' diet since July(around the time this thread popped up) and he's still going, very well actually!

Over x-mas, start of year he suddenly ballooooooned right up to 16st, obviously fambo n friends kept making remarks, some in jest some with malice(from me) but in general concerned for his health.

So one day in july he says "thats it, NO more beer NO more kebabs NO more burgers NO more chocky NO more SHIT!" and then says(with his very next breath) "i'm going to start exercise too" i basically rofl.............but 3 months later he's down to 13st4....amazing i know but he's not had 1 drop of beer, he bought a kebab had 2 bites and stuck it in bin(i were there) and no burgers, he does still buy the odd choc bar but i mean the odd one has he went through 3/4 at a time before.

So on to the exercise, all he's been doing is CYCLING. Thats it.

I took him out with me on his first time back on a bike in 2 years. He got about 15/20mins from home turned around and headed back home. I thought that was it, he wanted to be a lazy, fat, slob! To my suprise though he went out the next day only for 45mins, day after 50 next 1hour next 1hour 10mins etc.etc.etc. Now he's out for 3/4 hours at a time. He did this all by himself no stupid blogs just commitment!

Just think how hard "Wheres Girgy" will be if you lose them 3 chins! GO TO THE DTD 300 UPDATES RIGHT NOW and look at yourself in some of the pictures..............................Use them has your inspiration.

Ok forgot to update Saturday....

I went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the tredmill. I completed 4.8km burning 580 calories. Afterwards i went into the pool for a swim then chilled out in the jacuzzi and steam room before hitting the showers. I went to the Bradford Game with my Dad and afterwards we had a Chinese.

This morning i got up and headed off to the gym. I felt a bit tired but i dug in a did 45 minutes on the tredmill. I burnt 570 Calories covering 4.6km. I got home and got weighed and I have gained 2lbs so im upto 22st 2lbs. Obv dissapointed but i expected it as i ate bad over the weekend! I know i got under 22st as well so my aim this week is to work hard upto the weekend then be more disiplined over the weekend with my food intake!

Tomorow is my rest day but il be going to the gym instead for a swim.

Girgy
The gain is probably due to your body adjusting to your routine and no longer finding it a challenge. Mix up the cardio to include exercise bike, x trainer and the rowing machine. And start a lifting routine.
Keep up the good work

But it would be incredibly selfish to go to the gym when you have a cold.

If you want to train stick with the walking while you're ill.

That's a good point.  But I wasn't necessarily saying go to the gym.  There's lots of training, like the walking bit you mentioned, that he can do outside the gym.

Nice. You chose the correct flavours for your diet.

Cheese is obviously milk which is good for you. Onion is more or less a fruit so goes down as one of your 5 a day.

Steak is also very healthy so absolutely fine.

Well done on avoiding S & V. Although much tastier it's best to avoid salt as it's very bad for you.

Keep up with the varied routine, stops your body getting used to the workload.
If your gym has some barbells, add some squats and bent over rows, will work your whole body, including your core

Ffs Girgy don't go doing squats and definitely don't do bent over rows.

They are both advanced excercises using free weights and you'll fuck yourself up.

Find a machine that mimics these exercises and do that instead.

Did 36 minutes on the tredmill covering 3.5km burnin 450 calories. I then did some sit ups and 5 mins on the hand rower followed by 10 minutes on the bike to finish off. I did 3.3km on the bike and legs felt heavy after i had finished!

Pretty pleased with my eating this week and a quick look on the scales and im down to 21st 13lbs which is a loss of 4lbs in 3 days :) lets gogogogogo

Keep up with the varied routine, stops your body getting used to the workload.
If your gym has some barbells, add some squats and bent over rows, will work your whole body, including your core

Ffs Girgy don't go doing squats and definitely don't do bent over rows.

They are both advanced excercises using free weights and you'll fuck yourself up.

Find a machine that mimics these exercises and do that instead.
seriously??
I wouldn't touch machines with a barge pole

Neither would I but for someone just starting out they're much better imo.

If Girgy knows the correct techniques for free weight squatting, dead lifting, bent over rows etc. then fine.

If not it's an injury waiting to happen.

Give it a few months until everything's strengthened up a bit then hit the weights.

Er exactly thats why you should weigh yourself daily and plot it on a little graph.

Your weight fluctuates anyway so if you do it once a week you arent really getting a true picture every week.

Also Girgy have a massive poo, bound to lose you a pound.

Thats my tip of the day.

Tommow how to puke your weigh to happiness.

If they encourage you to do regular sit-ups then they're probably not a bad thing.  They certainly help maintain the correct form, as you see lots of people doing sit-ups with their hands behind their heads pulling on their neck.

There might be something bad about them, but not that I know of...

if only there were a book written by an expert aimed at novices that went into meticulous detail about how to lift a barbell. in an ideal world i guess there'd be a DVD as well, he could like coach all sorts of different sized people on it and show where people commonly go wrong. and as this is just a dream let's really push it and imagine he set up an internet forum so that people could video themselves lifting and he could tell you if your form is good or how to correct it if not.

I think Terry's machine is actually quite good depending on what you want your abs to look like. It will tone your abs but won't give you ripped abs like the body builders on the adverts. Because your arms are stretched out you'll never get a full contraction of your abs so you won't get big stomach muscles. You will get toned but your abs will be long rather than compact and rippling.

The main problem with them is that people use incorrect technique. The machine is just a contraption that forces you to use correct form for sit ups.

A lot of people use the frame to help with the sit up by using their arms to push themselves forwards.

You should just be resting your arms against the frame and isolating your abs when doing the movement.

If done properly there's no way you'd be doing 500. No offence intended there Tel, it's just that you could save a lot of time by doing them differently and would get better results.

A good one to try is:

Load yourself in to the machine.

Do 1 sit up but hold it for 6 seconds in the contracted position. This will actually be better if you cross your arms over your chest as you get better contraction.

Drop back slowly to horizontal then contract again for 7 seconds. Again make sure that you really squeeze your abs.

Repeat for 8 seconds, 9 seconds, etc.......

If you get past 15 seconds without being in agony you're doing something wrong.

Yeah it was something like that, all good but lots of people push forward with their arms.

In theory should you be able to do the same amount of good sit ups with or without the contraption if you have the correct technique both with and without?

There's your tell Tel. If it's easy it's not quite right mate.

But you achieved some good results by the sounds of it so thumbs up I say.

How often did you use the machine? Was it 500 every night?

How long did 500 sit ups take?

Did you stop at 500 because it had finally started to burn a bit or just because you were bored?

i didnt start at 500 i started at 50 and just worked my way up and yes i did do nearly every night.I used to do it when the mrs was watching her soaps but normally got through them within 1 episode of eastenders,

I wasnt overly concerned that it might not have been quite right it just enabled me to do a load with less effot than normal sit ups would.

I didnt do it for  a 6 pack just to get rid of the bubble gut

The problem if you have a 'gut' is that all you're doing is toning the muscles under the fat. Fat can't be turned into muscle (and vice versa) despite the popular myth.

Also, don't hook your feet under anything to aid with sit-ups if you want to focus on the abs.  All you're doing is allowing your legs to do some of the work - which is fine if you want to exercise different muscles.

In short, less calories in then out
For a lot of people, it's probably doing this by dropping their carb intake.

Re: the abs machine
While I know lots of people use them, I hate them, I found it gave me poor form/posture and found it put pressure on the neck area. Also found them too easy, didn't get the 'pain' I was used to during abs exercises

There you go with that "easy" word again.

There is no easy way mate.

The easiest way is to control your diet. Even without any exercise whatsoever you will then achieve a much flatter stomach. Add a few abs exercises to that and you might even get to see a little muscle or 2 in time.

Weekend update...

Had a good tredmill session on saturday! Followed off by a swim and steam room. Felt really good afterwards.

I bought some new running sneekers yesterday as my old ones were pretty battered!

Today i got up really tired but pulled on the new sneeks and headed off to the gym.

I got on the tredmill and started my 45 minutes. Was watching something on the tv and the time flew bye! I have upped my jogging speed now to 7.5kmph. I was really into it today and the new sneeks are bedding in nicely. I covered 4.8km in 45 minutes burning 580 calories. I bounced outta the gym feeling pretty good!

Ive just been on the scales and was pleased with what i saw! Im down to 21st 9lbs which is a loss of 7lbs :-) which is the biggest loss since i started this quest.

Im gonna hit it hard this week in the run up to DTD! And my diet and prop bet with cos is going well!

Midweek update....

Yesterday i had a good session on the tredmill. I did 45minutes covering 4.7km buring around 580 calories. Was shattered and wet thru after i had finished!

This mornings session was ok, i started off with a 36 minute tredmill session. I felt a few twinges in my calf and ankle but nothing too serious and i managed to do 3.6km. I then did 10 minutes on the bike doing over 3.7km.

Rest day tomorrow before a big session on saturday morning before DTD!!

Well DTD didn't go well for me! Was card dead all afternoon and that was that!

Also I have decided to give poker a rest for the time being! I have been having a few personal problems ATM so I have decided to pack it in for a while! I have also deactivated my facebook for a week due to the problems I've been having! Also the Salfi stuff hasn't helped!

I missed the gym on Saturday and was pretty dissapointed in not going!

I also had a poor day yesterday but I was back on it this morning at the gym! I did a 45 minute session on the tredmill, I did 4.7km burning 560 calories! I also got weighed this morning and have gained 2lbs since last week which Is not a major disaster but need to avoid this if I'm gonna get down to 18st by July! I now weigh 21st 11lbs.

So that's pretty much it for me! Il still be around the forum and on this thread!

losing weight is not all about exercise is about the diet too.

your only telling us that ur running 45 mins on the treadmill which is good. But if your eating 5 chocolate bars and a kfc bucket its not gonna help your progress much.

Same stuff everyday?  Probably not a good start, but it would be interesting to see what you're eating to go along with the exercise regime.  Of course, if you don't want to post it then it's none of our business!

Just wondered why you didnt want to.

I would have thought posting exactly what your eating on here, if you were completely honest would be even more motivation.
As long as you 100% listed everything, knowing you might get ripped for bad stuff would help, and there might be some stuff that you think is good for you but really its not great!

If mentioning diet is insulting your intelligence then I'm afraid every post in this thread has done the same.

Maybe Girgy doesn't want to share every single detail of what he's eating every day with everyone in the world. It's his thread, let him post what he wants to get the encouragement he needs. I started a thread a couple of years back when I wanted to lose weight - it was more as a public record of how I was getting on with the weight loss to encourage me to lose those extra couple of pounds every week before I updated. I didn't share details of what I was eating or what exercise I did, but I still got there. As an adult you don't need people to tell you whether stuff you're eating is good or bad, or fattening or whatever.  I got down to my goal weight without going into all the gory details, and I'm sure Girgy will too.

Midweek update...

Yesterday i had a very good session on the tredmill. I covered 4.77km which is the best i have done since starting back at the gym. I burnt 570 calories. I have stepped up my speed now and im working on building upto 60 minute sessions.

Today i started off with 36 minutes on the tredmill covering 3.7km and burning 470 calories. I then did 10 minutes on the bike at various inclines.

My diet is going well! (Again i have not posted about meals as i dont wish to at the moment!)

I am changing my gym schedule from monday and is gonna look like this...

Mon:    Gym (Tredmill)
Tues:   Gym (Tredmill, Bike)
Weds:  Swimming
Thurs:  Gym (Tredmill)
Fri:       Day off
Sat:     Gym (Tredmill) Swimming
Sun:     Day off

Totally agree with what the evil one said on previous page can't really see how anything paul said was insulting,just standard.Your obviously not eating the perfect diet or you'd have no problem putting it up.That's fair enough as well it's your thread but he did have a point.

One thing i've never understood is how someone would eat a greggs pasty then go to gym for half hour and be glad they burnt off 600 calories,just don't eat the pasty ffs surely it's not that nice.

PS I'm not saying your doing this just people i work with are like that and seems a bit mad to me.But then some people like going to the gym which is just bizarre

Are you keeping track of the amount of calories, fat and saturated fat in what you eat?

Obviously there are other factors to take into account, but even if you don't want to post exactly what you're eating - what is the basis of your assertion that your diet is going well?

i.e. How do you know?

The eating thing has become a bit of a taboo on this thread.

I trust that you're exercising well and eating a lot better than before (I can see that in how different you look now since the first time I met you) but I just genuinely don't understand your reluctance to say it at any given point.

Well its about time i posted on here....

Didnt go to the gym on saturday! Pulled my back at work in the week and its been a bit painfull. I went out for the first time in ages and had a real skinfull in Saturday night! Resisted a take away after the nightclub.

Well Sunday i just festered all day after id had my dinner.

Monday morning again no gym as my back hasnt fully healed. I weighed myself and i weighed 21st 8lbs which is a loss of 3lbs.

Tuesday morning i woke up feeling like shite. Had a sore throat and my body ached all over. I got in from work at 9.30pm and went straight to bed! No tea, i just felt shocking!

This morning i didnt wake up till 11am and again felt like death warmed up! Got in from work at 6pm. I weighed myself again and i am now down to 21st 4lbs losing 4lbs in 2 days.

Guys lay off with the food joke please! TY

Well i have not been to the gym for about 2 weeks now! I have been ill and not just a sore throat as Cos pointed out. I came down with tonsilitus and then i got conjunctivitus in my eye. Yes i did struggle to eat and i have been waking up feeling terrible and hocking up green phlegm. Excuses aside and the last few days i have just become lazy again to be honest! But i decided i would start back at the gym this morning!

So i set my alarm for 9am this morning, i snoozed for about half hour before forcing myself to get up and get ready for the gym! I need to get back into my routine again!

So i got to the gym about 10am. I did 3.3km on the tredmill in 32 minutes. My breating felt ok apart from a few coughing sessions! But i was happy with the work out!

I warmed down in the pool and then had a jacuzzi and a steam room to finish off. I feel better now for getting back into it and im off to play poker at Gala today for the first time in a month!

Back to the gym monday for me again and i will get weighed too.

Girgy ... can I give you a bit of advice ?

Fk it, I am going to anyway. I hope you take it in the spirit it is intended and accept that it is from someone who knows the score.

Either do this properly or just admit that at the moment you are not in the right "place" to continue .. fannying around half arsed is not going to do you any good at all, this kind of life change needs 100% commitment or it will just destroy you.

You need to start documenting EXACTLY what you shove in your gob, and analyse it !

There are plenty of people on here who are shit hot with dietary knowledge and would be more than happy to give you advice, or alternatively you have teh internetz.. use it to find the answers if you feel that you do not want to go public about what you eat.

what you are trying to achieve is not just a weight loss, it's a lifestyle change and without determination, willpower and honesty you WILL fail.

What are you going to do at Xmas when temptation is everywhere ? do you have the strength of mind to just pass the quality street tin to the next person without snapping up a few of those lovely purple ones ?  If not, then set yourself a new start date, January the 7th or whatever ... take the pressure off yourself now and prepare properly for a "new start" AND DO IT PROPERLY.

Like I said, there are plenty of people on here who (despite the piss taking and little digs) actually care and would genuinely help you, but you have to be honest with both them and yourself for any of this shit to work.

Whatever you do I wish you all the best.

Thanx Kev

I read your thread when you started this and i recall that you didnt post about everything that you put in your gob! Why didnt you post an exact day by day account of your food intake?

Since i made the prop bet with Cos i havnt touched a single sweet, chocolate bar, or bag of crisps! I have made a lot of changes to my diet! Yes there is probably a few things that i could need tweeking! What i will do if anybody would like to help me with diet i will PM them everyday with what i ate that day and they can advise me privately. If nobody is interested in doing that then thats fine. Any tips regarding calories/carbs/protein/logging results etc would be helpfull.

Im gonna allow myself a few treats over the Christmas period but i will have a schedule for the gym also!

I have been losing weight steadily and im happy with that! I have a trip to Vegas to look fwd to!!

I was mega anal about calories, looking back (and looking in the mirror) I did it wrong ... I lost the weight too quickly.

I didn't post everything I ate, because I didn't need to, I was losing shit loads of weight all the time, but the diet I was on was not sustainable long term, hence why I have put it all back on again.

I am starting again in the new year, but will be doing things a bit differently this time.

that's 2lbs a week? that is safe weight loss. you need to be eating 7K calories a week less than maintenance, fitday will tell you what that is. i believe that sugar and refined carbs are morish, they make you want to eat more and more so it's easier to lose weight eating mostly protein and fat and veg.

How many calories a day am i allowed? and how many do i need to be eating to be losing weight? ATM im 136kg

Post by: byronkincaid on November 28, 2009, 02:53:07 PM
spend some time playing with fitday, i just plugged some rough figures in saying you are 6 foot and totally sedentary and it says to maintain your weight you need to be eating 3200 cals a day. there are 3500 cal in a pound of fat, we want to lose 2 lbs a week so 7K a week = 1K a day so very roughly 2200 cals a day.

and still exercise ldo, it's totally acheiveable dude, 2200 cals is a lot of meat, fish and vegatables. don't drink calories. ezpz

It's ok to post stuff like, "hey girgy I've just had a big fk off fry up for breakie what you had?"

You think the comment about the fry-up is a piss take because you're still in the mindset of denying yourself what you really want. If you are truly embracing a new lifestyle why would that comment bother you? You think Paula Ratcliffe gets the hump when someone mentions bacon & eggs? No, cos winning marathons is her priority. This is the problem most people have when they start a new regime. Rather than thinking they are putting something into their life eg fitness, health, weight loss they think they're missing out on something eg black pudding. And the problem is you can't keep denying yourself something you want forever. Do you want weight loss and new habits or do you want fry ups and old habits? If you want weight loss you should post your diet and be honest with yourself. If you're doing this for you why does it matter what other people think? However considering only about 10% of the population are members of gyms at all I think you should congratulate yourself on your endeavour so far but if you want longterm change it begins with mindset. I know this because I am an expert in this field. Anyway good luck.

Ok enough of Kinboshi's shit........

Made a good start back to the gym! After Saturdays good workout i got up this morning and headed off to the gym! Was greeted at the gym by a new receptionist! (OMG more on her later!)

Went upstairs to the cardio room and hopped onto a treadmill. I felt good today and the 2 weeks i had off hasn't really affected where i was at. I did 45 minutes interval training on the treadmill. Ive upped my jogging speed to 7.5kph and throwing the odd 8kph in. I finish off strongly between 10kph and 12kph.l I actually did a PB today covering 4.83km and burning 590 calories.

I finished off with a few weights (getting big muscles is not my aim at the moment so i only did a few tricep and chest exercises)

On my way out i always buy a protein shake and was served by the new receptionist! OMG this bird is amazing! She was wearing some tight black trousers and a loose fitting white shirt! She bent over in front of me and i just couldn't help getting an eye full of her boobs! I couldn't miss them! You could fully see down her top!  ;kev; Anyway hope shes Full time and not on work experience as the other receptionists are all well nothing like her!

Just weighed in at 21st 2lbs which is a loss of 3lbs from last week! If i can keep losing 3lbs a week il be very happy and on course for Vegas!

Just had my breakfast. (going to post my full meal list tonight and update my fitday profile)

How much does a protein shake cost from the gym? I'm guessing it won't be less than a quid and you could probably buy yourself a tub for £20 from Holland and Barrett or order online and it'll last you a few months.

I hope you dont mind me being a c*nt when you slack. Gd restart.

no need to drink protein shake if fat loss is your main goal, maybe you can buy a water if sexy receptionist still there? unless the shake fills you up more than real food i guess??? easy rule of thumb is don't drink calories tho.

you can't trust treadmill calorie burn readouts btw, i don't wish to discourage you obv it's a good thing to try to burn more than yesterday or whatever but they are notoriously unreliable. i'm only saying this cos you can put exercise into fitday and you start thinking well if I burnt 500 I can eat this bigmac and still be losing weight, whereas it's much better to stick to your 2200 or whatever a day and still do the exercise as well, if you have the bigmac as part of your 2200 occasionally then that's not the end of the world.

if you were trying to get from 10% body fat to 8% then macro's (protein/fat/carb breakdown) become important, atm tho calorie restriction is key. obv as I said yesterday I feel that protein will fill you up more than sugar and carbs. fat fills you up as well, but as it is very calorie dense you have to be careful not to eat too much, you could easily eyeball some butter for example and estimate it as half as much as it actually is. so if I eat a bigmac I could easily eat another 2 soon after, but if I eat 2 chicken breasts and some veg and a bit of cheese or 85% cocoa choc for afters I feel pretty full.

log everything as accurately as poss on fitday FTW imo

you need some carbs for energy obv which is why i think Atkins diet is shit but carbs are your breads, potatoes, pastas etc...

Atm though you are having carbs with all 3 of your main meals which I'd probably cut down on if you can. At lunch for example there's no need for your two slices of wholemeal bread.

that don't seem bad tho girgy, yogurt and juice have a lot of sugar in them so I would knock them on the head but apart from that it looks fine as long as the calories are OK and it's filling you up so you're not gonna go on some mad binge to compensate

you don't wanna go on a near starvation diet, they don't work. can you get fitday to work out how many calories you burn a day? if not I would recommend starting at 2500 cals a day for a week and seeing if/how much you have lost and going from there, remember 2lbs a week and you're sorted, that's a realistic achieveable goal. don't fuck it up by starving yourself until you go nuts and eat a whole sweet shop.

a gram of protein is 4 cals, do you mix your shake with water or milk?

macro wise personally i would up the protein slightly and lose some carbs (yog and juice to start with) but the most important thing is calories for you



Title: Re: Girgy85's fatboy diaries.
Post by: byronkincaid on November 30, 2009, 11:35:20 PM
grrrr your maths suck

46g fat = 414 cal
255g carbs = 1020 cal
148g protein = 592 cal

2026ish total so you're about right

I buy a ready made protein shake from the gym. I dont have to have this really as i do my workout then return home to have my breakfast.

Im not starving myself. And im out of the temptation to nip into the garage for chocolate and crisps etc!

Put my exercise thru fitday and it said i burned 516 calories for my exercise this morning so only 74 calories less than the treadmill said.

I dont get the pre set lifestyle setting. Ive put the mostly seated with some movement option and that says i burn 4000+ calories a day. Cant change the time setting on it!

if you're full up with less than 2500 then this should be a cakewalk dude

yea it has a 24 hour clock, 45 minutes of that exercise i did at gym this morning burning 520 cals then the other 23.15 hours are burning 4000 cals but obv im sleeping for 8 hours etc so is that accurate?

Yea im feeling full up with what im eating at the moment. Also my weekly weigh is has been consistant for the last 4-5 weeks as ive lost 3lbs each week. Id be happy if this keeps up as you say i will reach my goal for vegas by july!

Hi Girgy
Your diet is pretty close to how I thought it might be. You gone very healthy, probably not enough fat in your diet, ok atm but will probs need adjusting as you get lighter.
Your daily intake seems heavy towards end of day. I would try to eat more for breakfast and lunch, particularly as you gym it in the morning and your body needs the intake.
Coke zero ok for a one off but too many chemicals in to be consumed regularly. What drinks are you consuming during the entire day? If it's just the 1 litre mentioned it's not enough. Robinsons no added sugar squash added to water is fine. I would add a couple of green teas a day, taste like shit but increase your metabolism and are good intestinal health.
Your carbs are a little high, ok for now but will need cutting down on as you continue to lose weight.
I would look at losing the potatoes from the evening meal, carbs late in the day don't get used up. Add some nuts for snacks, whole unsalted nuts. Good for protein and healthy fats.
Maybe add some salad to your tuna.

although you are probably right he's losing 3lbs a week so we have a calorie deficit so we're OK atm. i'm trying not to bog this thread down in minutia which i have definitely been guilty of in the past :)

Struggled to get up this morning! In a little habit of snoozing for an extra half an hour which i need to get out of!

Today i did 36 minutes on the treadmill covering 3.5km. I then did 10 minutes on the rower and finished off with 10 minutes on the bike.

Just entered into fitday and its come out as 601 calories burned.

Gonna make a couple of slight changes to my food today. Gonna cut the bread out of lunch today. I also drink around 2 litres of juice a day buy i forgot to take it yesterday.

Being on the road 8 hours a day isnt ideal for eating but the changes i have made are massive compared to what i used to eat.

Easiest way to get out of this one mate is to put your alarm clock at the opposite end of your room.

You've then got no excuse but to get up to turn the thing off.

I can sypathise with this problem as it's one I suffer with as well. Like everything else it's just a habit and is easily fixed if you put another habit in it's place.

The silly thing is that just by doing this you'll burn an extra few calories per day. The sleep you get while snoozing isn't doing you any good so you might as well be up. When you're on your feet you're burning more than while you're in bed. Every little helps over the next 8 months.

Keep up the good work.

Have you got on any other tricks for this Matt? As I can walk across my room and snooze my alarm 10+ times before getting up. Of course this really isn't a massive problem for me, but it is annoying missing the afternoon edition of neighbours sometimes.

I can sypathise with this problem as it's one I suffer with as well

Shocked, absolutely shocked, thought you were such a fit young man too.
 ;ashamed;


Getting home from a long weekend in Malta at about 1am then railing your horse 'til 3am is justification for 1 hit on the snooze button I think.

I'll try better tomorrow.
Think I whooshed you Matt,you are tired.


I think you did Mo.  He had a bit of a Dingdell moment.

LOL I could go on about how it doesn't really matter how many times he chooses to hit the button but I fear it would be wasted.

Have you got on any other tricks for this Matt? As I can walk across my room and snooze my alarm 10+ times before getting up. Of course this really isn't a massive problem for me, but it is annoying missing the afternoon edition of neighbours sometimes.

surely this sort of thing is the reason they designed sky+

Yeah got Sky +, it is just a good for some form of routine to watch Neighbours and then I can start grinding after that.

How is Neighbours these days?  100 word summary?

Terrible has been for about 10 years but it is a bit like smack, it is pretty addictive.

Nuts are great if you want to gain weight. They aren't what you need mate.

The words snack and diet shouldn't really be linked either if it's a slimming diet.

Snacking is almost always just eating for the sake of it. Try to get the food you need from planned meals. If it's a planned snack then fine but if they're not planned they are hard to control and you won't really know what you've had.

Best to leave them out completely if poss.

Been swimming this morning, i did 30 lengths. The pool at my gym is not full size so im not sure how far it is. I did 10 lenghts at a brisk pace then rested for a couple of minutes then i did another 10 lenghts again at a brinsk pace. I then rested for a few minutes and then just did 10 more relaxing lenghts. I finished off with 10 minutes in the steam room.

I have the day off work tomorrow so im gonna have a big session in the gym.

On another note im off to see a spiritualist tomorrow night. Im just sceptical so im going with an open mind. Have any of you guys ever been to anything like this and what are your thoughts on the subject?

This is something there is a little bit of debate about but for those it works for they swear by it:

If possible, as soon as you can in the morning do some hard cardio training before you eat anything. Fasted cardio doesnt work for everyone and you gotta be careful not to purge too hard afterward but try it and if you find its working stick with it, you burn fat much faster. Straight afterward would be a perfect time to have one of those protein shakes you like as it will give you energy more quickly than if you had some fruit or w/e.

Also, if you genuinely want to lose weight long term you cant rely on exercise and healthy food, because in reality you are not going to be motivated enough to go to the gym all the time and you're eventually going to eat shit because thats what we like to do. You have to increase your metabolic rate so that you can burn fat during the day and when you sleep i.e. not just when you exercise. The way to do this is to convince your body it's never going to have to store fat, i.e. you're always going to give it what it needs. Therefore you should be eating as often as reasonably possible, if you can eat 7 x 300 kcal meals a day for a couple months you will have a sick metabolism and lose weight without even thinking about it.

Finally, don't ever lie to yourself, whats the point? It will lead to inevitable failure and constant lying will make you depressed and we all know the cure of depression is ice cream coated KFC.

Meal frequency may be one of the more hotly debated areas of nutrition these days. While it’s always been  dogma (and in earlier versions of this article, I basically reiterated that dogma) that you must eat 6 times per day or more for optimal gains (or weight/fat loss), more recent research has called that severely into question.

Recent work into caloric restriction and intermittent fasting suggests that lower meal frequencies may have additional benefits. Some people are even fasting for many hours per day prior to food consumption with many claimed benefits (such as improved insulin sensitivity, calorie partitioning and fat loss)

eh? you sure about that?
Speaking as someone who knows a lot more about chemistry than nutrition, that statement sounds wrong - energy release in living cells relies on short-chain sugar molecules (glucose, basically). Body has to break everything down into that before it can use it for energy. The chain of enzymatic reactions to get from protein to glucose is pretty long, compared to any sugar (from fruit or potato for that matter) to glucose.

But I'd be prepared to be pointed at a wikipedia page that proves me wrong :). Who needs scientific papers these days?

he's talking about post workout nutrition, this may or may not be very important to bodybuilders athletes etc but again not something for girgy to worry too much about. PWO shakes eg Surge http://tnation.tmuscle.com/free_online_forum/diet_performance_nutrition_supplements/surge_pwo_drink_discuss have carbs and protein, i think fruit has to be processed by something first (your liver?) before it can surge into your muscles to make your biceptz hooge.

Thanks for the advice. I had no idea of quite how clueless I was on this subject.

Girgy please ignore any advice I've ever given you. Just eat lots of snacks and your metabolism will go through the roof.

Hopefully then you won't need to do anything else.

Sorry for all the shite i've spun on your thread. Please forgive me. I'll buy you a bag of nuts at the weekend to make up for it.

Byron's hit the nail on the head. You're not training to be a power-lifter, run a marathon, or swim the channel.  You're trying to lose some excess weight.

Girgy - it's simple.

Eat less bad shit, eat good shit (but not in excess), exercise more and regularly.  If the calories you're burning through exercise and your metabolism are greater than those you're ingesting, then you will lose weight.

This would be better if you could do it without pointing towards google.

Are you saying that Girgy should be eating nuts?

Are you saying that he should be eating snacks because they will increase his metabolism?

Can you point me to some scientific evidence that says snacking is a good way to lose 4st in 6 months?

There's a good diagram showing how various molecules are assimilated & converted by the body here (http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/show_thumbnails.pl).

Let me know when you find "snacks" on there :D.

Pretty much every line on there is catalysed by a different enzyme. Your body is awash with a massive variety of folded protein molecules. Fascinating stuff.

No idea how this helps, Girgy, sorry :).

Mr CounterfeitKing, sir, maybe it would help if you explained your qualifications in offering advice. A lot of us have met Evilpie, so are amply aware of his :).

Right I need to sort this nuts thing out before I end up in an unproductive to n fro with Mr Counterfeit.

As Counterfeit has rightly said nuts are very good for you. However they need to be eaten in moderation and as a controlled part of your diet. Whilst they contain lots of healthy fats and proteins and all sorts of other goodies they also contain a lot of calories.

Your diet at the moment is looking pretty good but when you mentioned that you need to buy some nuts to "snack" on whilst on the road the alarm bells rang a bit to be honest.

Snacking to me is eating for the sake of it. If you can cope without them then you are better off without them and this is what I was trying to say.

If you are happy with your current diet and you aren't craving for anything then don't have anything. If you find that you are starving whilst on the road then a bag of nuts is much better than a packet of ready salted. They need to be the right nuts though with no added crap.

If you like the taste of nuts then perhaps substitute them for something else but eating them just because you fancy a snack is just adding calories with no benefit whatsoever in relation to your goal of losing weight. Perhaps you could substitute them for something else.

Perhaps remove 1 of your 2 bananas a day and add a small bag of nuts. You could then have half the bag of nuts with half a banana in place of the 2 bananas. This way you get the health benefits of the nuts without the extra pointless calories.

Tomorrow im gonna have a rest day and then another big session on Saturday.

Why dont we want people getting banned?
Its about the funniest thing that keeps this forum buzzing!

OK slight overreaction but I guess it just depends on what you would consider constructive advice. If you're not familiar with the subject matter you're giving advice on isn't it better to offer lay spiritual encouragement rather than an uninformed opinion? If it were my thread I would want it that way but w/e.

It doesnt stop people posting on PHA

I was going to make the comparison to PHA but I thought it slightly harsh as everyone is entitled to their opinion and even if it is fundamentally wrong it's much more difficult to change the mind of a poor poker player's thinking than something more arbitrary like nutrition.

OK I never really wanted to get too involved with this thread but it started with a helpful sentence which was leapt upon pretty amusingly so I guess I'll continue. Last year I lost 3 stone in about 5 months and crucially, I have kept the weight off. As you probably know (and i think I saw a reference to someone else having done this in the thread), one of the most difficult parts is keeping the weight off after you lose it. I don't know Girgy but generally if you get to 20+ stone you have a pre-disposition towards living an unhealthy lifestyle, its not like you can lose track of things for a while and end up that heavy. Therefore, without doubt the hardest thing for him is going to be keeping the weight down after he is at a level he is pleased with. The way I found to do this is to lose the weight in both a healthy fashion and more importantly a sustainable fashion. Like I said before, Girgy won't go to the gym several times a week for the rest of his life, and he also wont stick to a healthy diet for the rest of his life so you have to everything you can to improve your bodily function to burn fat more efficiently without those things.

'Snacking', in EvilPie's eyes seems to be eating for the sake of it, this is a direct contradiction to how I would describe it. It is essential to eat very frequently, you have to convince your body it's not going to be hungry and so doesnt need to store fat. Your metabolic rate is the speed at which you use energy, through burning fat etc whilst at rest. Some people naturally have low metabolisms and so anything they eat seems to go to fat, and others can seeminly eat anything and not gain weight. It's all about metabolism and eating 'snacks' throughout the day without doubt increases your BMR. Therefore, snacking is not eating for the sake, it is eating for a very specific reason and yes of course it has to be controlled, if you're serious about it everything that passes your lips has to be controlled.

The point about nuts (and this only applies to certain types, i suggested cashews and almonds) is that not only to they fill you up better than say a piece of fruit, but they a good source of mono-unsaturated fat (which is essential in a diet) as well as reducing cholesterol and helping prevent heart disease, two things that again being 20+ stone are likely to be a problem so from a health point of view they are again better than other snacks.

It sounds like Byronkid really knows his stuff so it's not really necessary for me to comment anymore and I wish Girgy the best of luck herein.

Well yes in a perfect world that would happen but it's very unlikely for him or anyone, particularly those with a pre-disposition for gaining weight. As I said, you have to reduce the impact of this inevitability by increasing metabolism and also through habitual change.

i am slim apart from a ever growing belly, so most probs 11-11 1/2 stone would be fine. I weighed that before I fuked my knee up and played footy every day.

I'm a little over 12st and 6ft - and I could hardly be called chunky.  So dependent on build I'd assume that 11-13st could be an acceptable weight (I guess there are BMI charts that will say that's bollocks).

I tend to eat a low-fat diet because of a history of heart disease in my family.  Particularly try to avoid saturated and hydrogenated fats in order to keep my cholesterol down.  Doesn't stop me having the odd take-away or crap food, but most of the time I eat 'healthily'.

I'm 6'2" and just under 13st, yet have a lovely beer belly I keep meaning to try and shift.

Dan. Just find yourself  brick wall and bang your head against it a few times. You might have to queue behind me for a while though.

Counter. I went from 18st4lb down to 15st10lb in 10 weeks so if that's the pre-requisite for knowing how to diet then I'm qualified.

If you class a snack as a small well structured meal then yes, eating 6 to 8 snacks per day is a great way to lose weight.

And yes, nuts will fill you up much better than a piece of fruit. The downside is the calories. If you want to eat nuts then chestnuts are about the lowest I believe but I don't know whether they fill you up as well.

Girgy if you're going to eat nuts, and I'd recommend you do in moderation, then just keep an eye on the calories. This site is pretty good http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/calorie_counter/nuts_seeds.htm

Quoting gone to pot, but I'll help answer.

There's a lot more to it, but the key to weight loss is calories ingested < calories burnt leads to weight loss.

The body burns (uses) different energy stores differently.  For example, simple sugars are easily used by the body, which is why glucose is used in energy drinks for example.  Complex carbs are used more slowly, and fats even more slowly.  The body is very inefficient at burning fats, which is why marathon runners feel very lethargic and 'empty' if they run 18 miles plus and run out of carbs to burn and instead the body attempts to use fat stores instead for energy.

Well personally mate I'm a big fan of protein bars. They're basically a meal replacement and contain a bit of everything.

But as already said I would class them as one of my predetermined meals and have a set time for it.

Don't get in to the habit of 'snacking'. A snack is something you have between meals when you fancy something. If you know that you're going to be needing something at 6.30pm then plan to have something and make sure it's logged as part of your daily intake.

Today i have been to the gym and had a very good session. I did 45 minutes on the treadmil clocking up a PB covering just short of 4.9km. Felt shattered after i had finished on the treadmill. I did some weights training my chest and triceps and then finished off in the pool burning my arms some more with some quick lengths without using my legs to kick. Had a nice relaxing jacuzzi and steam room after i had finished in the pool.l

Just a couple of comments on this day's diet mate.

The tea could maybe do with a tweak.

The oven chips probably aren't ridiculously bad. As a treat and if you really fancy them I don't really mind it as long as they're the low fat ones.

Not too keen on the small piece of fish in breadcrumbs. Undoubtedly this is fried in breadcrumbs so will be quite bad for your diet. You kind of justify it by saying "small" piece of fish but that's actually worse. You'd be better off with a "big" piece of fish because then there's proportionally less bread crumbs. You can then cut down on a few chips to compensate for the added calories of the extra few breadcrumbs. You end up with a bigger meal because of the extra fish but the same calories with more protein, less carbs and less fat.

Just a suggestion bud.

You're going well by the look of it though. WD.

Been slack with these updates.....

Gym been going well tho. Did 4.99km on the treadmil today so im going that little further every day. Tomorrow i aim to break the 5km mark in 45 minutes!

Weight wise i have stuck for the past 2 weeks at 21st 2lbs so my aim is to lose 3 lbs this week to go under 21st! Reason for this is i have had 2 heavy weekends so im kinda happy that i havent gained!

I have a schedule set up for over Christmas and i aim to keep the junk down to a minimum!

I ordered some new clothes the other day which came today. Ordered the size that i ordered last time and tried a shirt on which was massive on me so better re order a smaller size!!

Oven chips are fine imo - most are under 5% fat, and aren't the worst things in the world to eat.

I'd skip the egg yolk, but that's just me.  Try having 6-10 eggs with no yolk, much better for you and more filling, and zero fat.

I'm with Matt on the breadcrumbs.  You can pick out some low-fat versions if you really love your breadcrumbs on your fish, but because you didn't mention that I'm assuming they were 'full-fat' versions.  You're working hard at this, so it seems a shame to ruin it with poor food selection when with a little bit of cunning, you can eat virtually the same stuff as you've listed but with far less fat and fewer calories.

Broke the 5km mark in under 45minutes today which im very happy about! Felt really knackered after i had come off the treadmill! Finished off with a few weights.

Thinking about upping the workload a bit and going for 60 minutes on the treadmill.

This morning I shall mostly be having two eggs (With yolks) over easy, fried in a little spray fat and served on two toasted slices of Warburtons wholemeal bread, sans butter.

Then, I'll cycle to Croft quarry, (4.5m), take a walk ower t'ill, and cycle back in time for my nap.

It's an interesting (and scientifically well supported) little piece that basically says that there is no link between eating lots of saturated fat and having a heart attack.

The rest of the site is quite interesting as well - vegetable oil, white flour and refined sugar are the worst things in the world from an obesity point of view (according to many posts on them). Based on a cursory reading of some of it, I'm not convinced he hasn't falled into his own trap of correlation implying causation with some of it, but it's interesting reading. Fructose bad, glucose good. Butter ok, margarine not. Which sounds good to me :). At least he applies fairly rigorous scientific principles in most of his posts, as opposed to some of the crap you read on "nutrition" websites.

I think its better to run more at 45 mins then run at the same speed for a longer amount of time.
I think the higher the intensity the better as your body could adapt to the same speed.
Do you go to the gym yourself? I find it alot lot better when with a friend as you can encourage each other.

I think you should train up and do a 10k running event. And make it into a prop bet or run for charity. I will happily give you £2 for every min under 60 and £1 under 75 

But keep it up (Y)

I have built my fitness up from doing 30mins at 7kmh to 45mins at between 7/9kmh so I think a jump to 60 minutes at 8/9kmh Is my next step! I will then try and build up the time that I can run for constantly rather than 11/2 min interval training.

I would like to do a 10km run and hopefully I might look into this for next year!

I don't have a training partner as I go in the mornings as I work afternoons! This is not a problem for me as I don't mind training alone!

Good effort sir, if you're doing 600-cal sessions you are in proper weight burning territory.

I'm gonna be looking to do 5 x 600-calorie sessions a week for three months in the new year.

Be good coming out the other end though. Great routine to get into.

Disagree with that bit (not like someone to disagree with the advice given on this thread :D).

Ideally, you want to be on your feet for as long as possible, and that'll provide the biggest benefit.  Best to build up the endurance and then look to improve on the speed.  Either way is better than not doing anything at all of course.

Busy day today as I'm off for me roots doing then gonna go look for a nice shirt in a smaller size with my crimbo money! :)

a multi way bet could be fun and give us some motivation?

I will, I was 17st but will be 16 by new year if all goes to plan. Fwiw, I think mentally it's worth starting before Ian, but each to their own.

My target is 14st but 15st is more like my natural weight!

How do you want to do it?

Post by: Girgy85 on January 13, 2011, 03:51:36 PM
Having reread this thread over recently i was very disappointed in myself at letting all the hard work slip. So i have decided to resurrect the thread and get on the diary bandwaggon.

So i started this thread on July 15, 2009 as a weightloss thread. I weighed my heaviest at the time and thought a thread would help motivate me into losing weight. I had many previous failed attempts to lose weight but like always i achieve a target and then just go back to my old ways of junk food and no exercise.

Basically i lost over 2 stones between July 09 and December 09 where the diary went quiet and i just faded back into my old ways. I dont know why i do this cos obv i feel pretty good after dropping 2 stone but i can never kick on and lose more. Fasttrack to today where i have pretty much gained all the weight back + some. 2010 started and i was still gyming but that faded. I was grinding a shitty van job which was depressing and lead to my old habits of snacking on junk etc. I d had enough of van driving around May time and just decided id invest all my money (which wasn't much) into gaining a taxi license. The license took around 2 months to gain and cost me around £700 but has been worth every penny so far.

I started taxi driving in August 2009 and have been working hard for 5 months. I have been guilty of my old habits of snacking on crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks and takeaways. I enjoy the job but have had some pretty random and scary customers a couple of times. More on my work throughout the thread.

I have started eating healtier again and also the exercise and after reading Cos and Matt's diaries and msn chat with Cos i have made a prop bet with Cos.

Prop Bet details:

I currently weigh 151kg

I have to lose 4kg a month. Every month that i lose 4kg Cos will put £36 into a piggybank.

My target weight is 110kg

If by Saturday 5th November 2011 i weigh 110kg then cos will enter me into the DTD deepstack.

If i fail then i have to Taxi Cos back home to London after the weekend.

So im hoping this will inspire and motivate me again. Hopefully i can get in the right frame of mind this time.

Any questions welcome.

Cheers Girgy

Ok so started out as a Taxi noob in August and since then i have been threatend twice.

First occasion i got sent to an address out of our area but as i was near and the office took the booking and was coming back into town so would of been a nice job.

I rocked up about 6.20pm 10 mins early for the booking so i beeped and out came the guy. He said not booked till half past he was getting some stuff together could i give him 10 minutes. I said yea ok. Got to about 6.35 so i beeped again. Got to 6.40 and im not very patient at the best of times so i went to knock on door.

His girlfriends dad answers and i ask if hes gonna be long. Said id been here 20 mins etc and was gonna start charging a waiting time. So i get on radio and they tell me hes pissed off and phoned up and cancelled so he comes bounding out of the house upto the car saying hes gonna smack me up if i dont piss off.

So i sling my hook and having wasted 40 mins of my time i was pretty pissed off as i could of been making monay back in town.

Another occasion i pulled upto a pub late on a Sat night and this kids wandering about stumbling all over and asks who im for. I say i dont think its u mate (cos i had a girls name booked) he starts chasing my car as im pulling upto the pub. Anyway his mum comes out whos taxi it was for and apologies for him being drunk. He then says summet to his Dad who comes bounding over to my window who who tells me to sling my hook before he paggers my face in.

Last week had 2 guys get in and instantly had a bad feeling. Cos when ur out of town and its two on one you never know if there gonna jump you or not. Anyway nothing happened and i got paid so all was well.

Upto press i havnt had any runners.

Do taxi drivers get offered sexual favours i hear you say?

I mainly did cardio and occasional weights but as i dont have a training partner i find it difficult to do weights. Getting technique rights and motivation etc.

Also did a bit of swimming.

Well i let my gym membership lapse but im going to sign upto Aspire which is a council scheme i think. Allows you to swim and use gym at local sports centres.

Also my mate who plays professional Rugby League has said hes going to help me so that will be kinda like my personal trainer for one session a week.

Cool, that's what you need to keep you going mate if motivation and technique is putting you off stuff. Getting a nice and varied training program with someone there to keep you motivated and push you once a week definitely works.

I used to just jump on the tredmill and do speed interval training. Id do 30 minutes of walking and jogging and would do around 2 miles. At my peak in Australia in 2008 i had built upto 1 hour of speed interval covering 5-6km burning around 800cals.

I'd taken this bird home a few times she had always shared her taxi  but this night she was alone.

So I got to her flat and she paid up her fare (hmmm I bet ur thinking why did she pay as they usually have no money right?)

She's a bit of an alky always pissed when I picked her up!

So she comes right out and says "Your cute for a big lad aren't you"

Before I could mutter a thank you she comes right out with " wanna come in and f*** me?"

I tried to stammer a response but she quickly apologised for asking me.

She then lead forward and asked me for a kiss so I gave her a quick pash to keep her happy! Obv had jobs waiting or as amatay would say I might of gone in and rumped her!

Nailing the flaked out alcoholic slumped in the back of your mini cab isn't what you would class as premier league sexing. She would prob wake up the next day and decide to press charges.

Got up at 11.30 am today and went to the local pool for a swim. Our local baths got knocked down in favour for a tiny pool at the high school. Wasnt bad tho and managed a few lenghts.

Saw i fight in the school playground andit reminded me of my school days there where everybody would pile round the scrappers until a teacher came wading in and carted em both off to the heads office.

Called in local garden centre cafe on the way home and demolished scrambled egg and beans on 2 dry brown toast. Also had a bottle of lucozde sport.

Im already feeling better this week since i cut out all the junk.

As uncle gok wan says

its ALL about the confidence

Probs the key thing to girls imo confidence and security

That's what I think probs aload of shit tho

Don't pay too much attention to this Girgy.

If you're not the confident type but you try to act it you'll just look a tit. Be yourself pal but stop showing people pics of your turds.

Oh, and as far as the bird who wanted to drag you in to her house for a shag mate I'd give it a wide berth.

There really isn't any satisfaction in that sort of thing and people who say there is are even more insecure than you mate.

How do you build your confidence up though?

That's the difficult bit.

Generally people will just pretend to be more confident and that's when they come across as a dick.

It's not as easy as just saying 'be more confident'. If you're not that way inclined then you can't force it.

Confidence may come from certain situations which you handle particularly well but you can't just go out there and miraculously find confidence.

Take the Girgy and the taxi slut situation.

In my opinion this was a perfect chance for Girgy to be become more confident.

This woman found him attractive and wanted to have sex with him. How's that for a compliment!!

Personally I would see this as a massive compliment when I turned her down and that's what Girgy should do.

The last thing he should do is pay attention to anyone who thinks he's a disgrace for doing so.

Personally I'd rather go without than lower myself to the standards some men seem prepared to put up with.

I used to believe this too, have since been told by different people that it's not true. It's all relative to the time you go to bed. Would be ridic for Girgy to eat at 7 then not be able to eat again for the rest of the night when he is gonna be awake for prob another 12 hours.

Yeah, ignore all that crap about what time you eat. The calories are the same, no matter what time of day/night you eat them.

the 'don't eat after 7 pm' thing came about from a studystudies that showed that people who did eat late put on more weight/lost less. what they didn't allow for was that people eating late tended to have poor eating habits and were eating more crap compared to people who eat earlier

as with most dieting 'rules' it sounds like bollocks because it is bollocks

I'm on 12 hour nights for a week starting Sunday at 6pm. Would be redic for anybody to have their last meal at 5.30pm then not eat owt for another 12 hours!! As long as I'm not gorging on fast food and sweets from the garage I think it's acceptable to have a sandwich and some fruit at work!

Yeah that's tez advice, what you should be trying to do is eat every 3 hours. In turn that will speed up your metabolism and as long as you're eating at a calorie deficit you'll lose the weight.

Unsalted nuts are ok too Girgy, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews. I just used to snaffle anything in sight. I'm not totally clued up with the whole eating thing, I'm sure Cos or Matt will be able to go into more detail and give you a cleared picture of what you should try to eat.

I'm pretty sure Cottage Cheese is a good one to have before bed

Called in local garden centre cafe on the way home and demolished scrambled egg and beans on 2 dry brown toast. Also had a bottle of lucozde sport.

Im already feeling better this week since i cut out all the junk.

pretty sure that's a bad idea if you're going for weight loss. you're just taking in unnecessary calories

This, stick to water.

Yeah, Lucozade Sport isn't the best beverage option. Carbs based drink that prepares the body for physical endurance with claims you can last 33% longer. Obviously if you had decided to nail the drunk this would have been beneficial for you. But not for just sitting in a taxi. Carbs turn to fat if they aren't expended.

Pretty much first chance I've had to get on the laptop since Saturday. Saturday nights are the busiest and i rolled in from work at 5.30am.

Was up by 12 on Sunday and took my old man to the pub for a carvery. This was my 'treat' day and i had my usual Steak and ale pie with a slice of beef, roast and mash potato, cabbage broccoli cauliflower mushy peas and lashings of gravy on my Yorkie pud.

Started a week of 12hr nights on Sunday so i was in at 6am. Had 6 hours kip and was up and getting my takings ready to take to the bank. Went to the pub with my Dad again but had a Jacket potato with cheese and beans and a side salad.

Last Monday i weighed in at 151kg and was delighted when i hopped on the scales and was down to 146.6kg with a total loss of 4.4kg. Think this was mainly down to cutting out all the junk and eating wisely.

Managed to get 8 hours kip this morning.

Ive got a holiday booked for a week today and I'm really looking forward to it. I booked a week in Benidorm with my old man and will be my first time on holiday since i returned from Australia in November 08. Were staying in the Ambassador hotel which has a pool and gym with sauna and a massage room. I'm gonna make full use of the facilities and just generally recharge the batteries.

Gonna keep strict with the diet all this week and hopefully lose another 2kg. Will allow myself a few treats on holiday.

WOW had a pretty hectic last few days....

Finished work for 11 days on Sunday morning at 6am. Headed home for 5 hours kip before getting up and taking my Dad for a carvery. Had an Airport job to Leeds Bradford at 1.30pm and went straight to Gala Leeds for the £15 triple straight after. Managed to pure bubble finishing 11th with 10 paid and over £1k up top sigh!

Today Ive been very busy. Got up at 8am got showered and headed into town. Did my banking at 9.15 followed by an appointment at the hairdressers for a colour and cut. Filled car up with £58 worth of juice. Went into the office at work to pay my dues and demands (Owe the garage £550 for a new clutch i had to have done on Friday SIGH!!). Tried printing off my Boarding passes for tomorrow but didn't have our passports on me to fill in the page online. Went to pick my Dad up as we were off into Wakefield to do some shopping and get some bits for our Holiday. Came home to collect my Passport and went up to our office again to use the printer. Then took the car for a valet. Then went to my Dads to paint his ceilings and pack his suitcase. Hes having his living room wallpapered whilst were away and also some surprise new carpets. Came home to do some packing of my own. I am currently at home trying to qualify for the DTD £300 whilst having a Budweiser or two.

Go away to Benidorm tomorrow for a week and am thoroughly looking forward to a break!!

On the weight front i lost another 1.5kg this week so have lost over 5kg in two weeks. The diet has slipped a little yesterday and today but I'm going to make use of the gym and pool in out hotel and try and eat sensibly. Will be all systems go when i return!!

Holiday Report

Will keep it pretty basic....

I booked the trip online and was the first time id done so. Was a bit of a ball ache printing out all the documents as i don't own a printer but i got there in the end.

Arrived at Leeds Bradford Airport and went to drop bags in. Had 2 cases booked in at 15kg each but were obv over so had to re jig the bags at the Airport and take some stuff in my hand luggage.

Flew with Ryanair who were pretty good and organised my Dad some help with wheelchair assistance getting on and off the plane. Flight was on time and landed 10 mins or so ahead of schedule at 17.30.

We were last of the plane at Alicante and once we got to the baggage collection point all the other passengers had gone and our 2 cases were left solo on the belt so i collected the bags and we headed off to find our transfer.

Got to our hotel in Bendiorm at about 19.30 and dropped our bags in our room before going down to the restaurant to get our evening meal. Selection of food was pretty good but I'm a fussy eater so just stuck to the basics. Was staying at the Ambassador Hotel and stayed pretty local that evening for a few drinks.

Next day we got up and had breakfast then hired my old man a mobility scooter. Had a wander round, nothing too exciting!

Went mainly for the getaway. Diet went pretty much out of the window and went swimming once. Had to pay for the gym and sauna facilities even tho i was staying in the hotel and the Spanish bird on reception was pretty rude and unhelpful. So i never bothered all week.

Played Bingo at a place called Sinatra's one afternoon. Did around 60 euros in and pulled for around 9 prizes. Won on a few hotel bingo games and a few roulette machines.

Went to a place called the Yorkshire Pride where a mate from work had told me about a breakfast they did. So i had to go sample it. Was called the 'Hungy Mans' and consisted of 3 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 fried eggs, chips, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and 6 rounds of toast. Obv ordered no tomatoes or mushrooms as they are devil food!! I managed most of it but left some.

Only took it steady on nights out apart from one night i think it was Thursday. Pretty much had to carry my old man 200 yards to the hotel as he went out without his wheels. Saw plenty of decent tribute acts and comedians.

The weather was OK most of the time. Rained a couple of days and was a bit chilly but bearable. Doubt id go again in January though. Wasn't the busiest which i didn't mind.

My dad managed to get a Dicky tum on Sunday which i contracted on Monday. Went down for our evening meal on Monday and really shouldn't of had owt as i didn't feel well. Had to rush up to room where i decorated the toilet bowl, then was sick in the sink blocking it with chunks of ham that id just had for tea. Poor fellow that had to come up to our room with his plunger to unblock the sink. Spent the rest of the night on and off the pot!

Woke up Tuesday morning feeling like death. Had a shower then when to chemist for some tabs. Was picked up at 14.15 for our transfer to airport. Tabs worked well and dried me up for the flight back! Arrived at the airport and was obv overweight in the luggage again. Had to re pack in front of the whole queue. Once we got through to departures it was pretty much time to go to our gate. The disabled get boarded on a truck that lifts right up to the plane. Was a very good service. Flight home was a little turbulent but fine and landed about 10 mins late. Ryanair were pretty good but not sure if id use them again with all the faffing around you have to do.

Was a decent break away and just what i needed. Need to get saving for my next trip away this year which will hopefully be Vegas for the first time.

plz dont

Dude - you are very good at the low stakes 90 mans (and the like!) Playing bingo is just daft when you are profitable in pokerz!

Dont get me wrong - if you just wanna give it a try, thats cool (in a way) - but dont go spunking loads when you can win @ pokerz!

HOUSE!

Feeder were awesome! They are my favourite band of all time and I see them whenever they are playing! My love affair with feeder started when I was about 18 on a lads holiday in Ibiza! A mate had buck rogers on a mix cd and that was it!

I've seen them live around 8 times now and they are pretty good live!

Came back to casino where I dropped mama g off for the comp. Sat down at cash with £60, had it upto £220 but donked a ton off with 77 vs 10's on a 9 high board! Left £50 up!!

Mama g still left in the comp! Down to 20 with 10 paid! £800 ftw come on mama!!

For a poker player probably when WSOP is running which is June. As there are festivals running at the other casinos to tie in with the series at lower buyins.

Problem with that time of year is that it is summer and it is ridic warm in Vegas, whereas if you go in say March/October the weather is a lot more pleasent imo.

Tbh going to Vegas anytime is awesome, I have just been on a quiet weekend in Jan and it was still great.

Hotel recomendations for a noob? Shared a table with Laurence Gosney in Leeds a month ago and he was saying somewhere did wsop structures for less buy ins but forgot where?

Depends how much you want to fork out and how much you give a crap about having a nice room in a sweet hotel. I have stayed at Venetian on the poker rate $99/nt (119 at weekends I think) but you have to play quite a bit in the poker room for that and last time at Planet Hollywood which I liked.

Bascially stay in the middle of the strip as location wise it is the nuts, you can deffo underestimate how far it is to get to places in vegas if you stay in a bad location. Then just look at what it is within budget.

Haven't booked yet. Gotta book the flights first.

Duke is staying at Imperial Palace...but I wouldnt recommend that for a newbie. There's a massive thread on APAT with loads of tips. Or just PM Paullie_D on here, he's a Vegas Travel Guru. Or Simon Galloway.

I'm going to see Roy 'Chubby' Brown at the Frontier at Batley. Seen him twice before and i get his DVD for crimbo every year. Not everybody's cup of tea but i like him so that's all that matters!
i used to really like chubby brown and have seen him live a few times over the years at the old stardust and nottingham ..

the last show i went to was pants...gone really downhill he got heckled as always, he stormed off the stage and kept the whole crowd waiting for twenty odd Min's refusing to come back on unless the hecklers got ejected......tosser

I did this a little while back for some lads on another forum Girgy, some links down there that'll see you right m8

This site tells you a bit about almost every Casino/Hotel in Vegas. Although some of the info is a little dated, on the whole it's pretty accurate with the insight to each establishment.

http://www.cheapovegas.com/index.php (http://www.cheapovegas.com/index.php)



Flights


Virgin


Virgin now fly from Manchester and Gatwick so giving an ideal point for you guys way oop there to fly direct too.

http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/index.jsp (http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/index.jsp)

London Gatwick - Vegas are daily as below

1125am-1410pm

1640pm-1030am (overnight)


Manchester - Vegas flights are Thursday and Sunday at the times below

1320pm-1550pm

1820pm-1205pm (overnight flight)



British Airways

BA also run a daily direct service from Heathrow with a more poker player orientated flight time. I'll be flying with them this year should I go and then will be able to review them


1625pm-1845pm

2045pm-1430pm (overnight flight)



Flights and Package sites

www.skyscanner.net (http://www.skyscanner.net)

Will give you the best price on flights available in different varieties, both direct and with stops as filtered by you. Very easy to use and sources from almost every airline.


www.ebookers.com (http://www.ebookers.com)

www.expedia.co.uk (http://www.expedia.co.uk)

You can often find a good value 'Flight & Hotel' package using the above two sites. I found 12 nights at the IP for £830 26th June to the 7th July looking on ebookers.

Hotels

I've stayed at quite a few hotels on the strip and off for varying periods of time over the last few years so will post some links for booking then give my opinions on the ones I have stayed in.

www.harrahs.com (http://www.harrahs.com)

This will give you an idea of the figures you will pay for each hotel in the Harrahs chain. If you can then find it cheaper anywhere else on the net they will match the price.


http://www.i4vegas.com/ (http://www.i4vegas.com/)

http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/ (http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/)

These are all worth a hunt round to price up your trip and should give you a good indication of what the cost is gonna be. There are often good deals on the last link there giving discounts. Langers and Pete got 25% off there hotel last year I believe for booking early.


www.priceline.com (http://www.priceline.com)

Priceline might be something some of you may be interested in as it's a bit of a gamble. You enter in the type of hotel you want and the location. 5* 4* 2* etc. it picks one out and you stay there at a discounted rate. I've not done it but could be worth a go if that floats your boat.


www.smartervegas.com (http://www.smartervegas.com)

Smartervegas has some good deals with discounts at a ton of Vegas hotels. Always worth a look around before you book anywhere, you might just save an extra few bucks!!

Just getting the car valeted at the local drive in. Cost £10 for a wash dry tyre shine Hoover polish and windows done and they throw in an air freshner! Pretty good value considering how much hammer my car take on s daily basis!

I kinda wished I'd got into the car valet business before all these garage wash places started cropping up as I bet they are a decent earner!!

I bought my car second hand as I had a small van to trade in and I got a 1 company owner  ford Mondeo on a 55 plate with 107k on the clock. I've just gone past 134k in under 7 months!!

Car has cost me a small fortune in the last 6 months also! £400 bill just before crimbo, £550 last month and I'm getting it diagnosed for £90 2moro for a problem that is gonna cost £500 min to fix :(

Also needs an council mot at the end of the month to the tune of £170 for the vehicle license plate! Not to mention the £155 road tax I paid at the start of the month!

So being a taxi driver is pretty costly!!

Obv it's an expensive business if you do 30k in 7 months in a 5YO car that already has 107k on the clock.

Surely that can't have been the best deal in the world for you?

Yea I was naive and rushed at the time as I wanted my own taxi as it's cheaper than renting a car off of the company!

The car was in good nick when I got it! And the plan was to run it into the ground whilst saving for a couple of years before I get another car!

There are cars younger than mine at work that are constantly in the garage having repairs done so it's just part and parcel of the job!!

Yea most of guys in our company have mondeos and the guy who owns company fixes cars for us so that's reason I got a ford tbh! Few guys have got skodas and one got a Volvo so will chose wisely when I get my next car!

Things have changed. 

Fords have been pretty reliable for the last few years and the likes of VW and Mercedes have slipped.  I don't think VWs are better than Fords these days.  Volvos aren't going to be any more reliable than Fords, as Volvo was owned by Ford up until very recently and they must have a lot of shared parts etc.

I think Vauxhall have been getting better recently too,

You'd probably get something more reliable than a Ford if you bought Asian, but I don't know about the overall cost. 

Maybe Skoda's may work out better as someone said, but there can't be a lot in it especially if you get a ford that has taken the depretiation from the first year or two.

Much more expensive to run an auto, more likely to be nearer 20 than 1 mpg difference. Factor in higher road tax + 3x as many sets of brakes its a non starter.

Those chineses cockle pickers who drown were being exploited by their boss in a very similar way. Those poor bastards could never seem to earn enough to pay all the strange and high maintenance bills on the property their boss rented to them. The owner is trying to trap you into being a taxi driver forever Girgy.

Cost of brake pads v cost of physio!  Most newish cars offer multitronic autos - if you feel nitty about the brake pads, you can use the manual aspect of it to brake the engine.  And while official consumption figures might point to manual, half the cabbies in manuals seem to change gears at random intervals, would probably be better with a decent auto box.

Think I'd rather work an extra x minutes each day to pay for it than drive a manual for a living.

Lol. My 2.2 petrol auto averages 28mpg. [ ] sure would get 48mpg if it was a manual.

The BMW 525d auto does more miles to the gallon than the manual and emits less C02.

I'm an owner driver so I just pay rent to my company every week to the tune of £105 but u do have insurance and all maintenance of my car to sort out.

The owner rents cars out to drivers but it costs them £220 a week but they also have to pay for repairs to the owners cars themselves which was the reason I bought my own. I thought if u rented their car then they would do the repairs like other companies do so the owner is scooping the lot!

I'm abs terrible at the mechanical side of things so I just trust the guy to sort my motor if owt needs doing on it.

I always remember when I was a kid I'd pretend to be a taxi driver. I'd turn our old armchair onto a cab and pretend to drive around. I can't see myself doing anything other than a driving job tbh!

My next goal is to save up a couple of grand and go in for my HGV licenses and hopefully go continental. Some o the guys are away weeks on end earning a fortune and bringing back tobacco to sell over here.

Been looking on ebookers today and found a week in Venetian plus flights for £1,531.17 which includes travel insurance.

Also a $119 charge at the hotel im guessing for internet access etc

Dates are Sunday 19th to Sunday 26th June.

Does this seem a decent offer?

Seems quite expensive to me, I am sure you could find better. Lets say flights are £700, you are paying over 100 a night for the hotel.

The 119 is the resort fee, which just about all strip hotels charge.

Yea been looking on Virgin site and thats price ive been getting. Is the price likely to come down much between now and june? Not gonna be spending much time in the room i guess so summet cheap and comfortable will do. You in vegas in June Marky?

Post by: Marky147 on February 18, 2011, 12:56:15 AM
Flights to Vegas have never come down in the 4 years I've been going, I always book as early as possible. Last year I booked in Feb and this year I booked up last month.

Hotels are easy you can just book as and when, they never really go up or get booked out. I haven't booked my hotel yet, hopefully Paradise will overbook the Palazzo again and I can nip a room off them for £600 again for a week :)

I'm there 24th June - 7th July and yeah any room is alright really. I stayed at Harrahs the first night last year before I moved into the Venetian and it's fine.

It does seem expensive, and your just burning money buying insurance from the travel agent. Can get insurance online for about a tenner.
Play around with the dates Girgy, one or two days either way can make a big difference to the price.
Although flights generally go up the closer you get, Virgin often have sales for flights a couple of months in advance of travel dates.

Virgin only fly Thurs/Sunday from Manchester though m8 that's the only problem there. With regard to sales, last year I booked with Virgin in Feb and got my flight for £535 and it just went up and up. I know a couple lads who left it until last minute and paid well over 1k iirc

Were fav's every year, we get big crowds every year, we do shit every year so no change with Taylor tbh!

We havnt had a 20 goal a season man for a while now.

No real formations or tatics. Play players out of positions. Needs sorting.

Just hope he doesnt give it to Wayne Jacobs till the end of the season cos thats just a step in the wrong direction imo!!

I have done all sorts of diets over the years and the majority of them have failed, I lost a few pounds did well for a bit then would just put it back on again.  Joined gyms and done really well for a while and then quit and put the weight back on.  At the moment I am trying to make some fundamental changes to my lifestyle which are sustainable so that its not a 'lose two stone then start eating normal again' routine. 

I have done a little bit of research, watched a bit of my mate paul mckenna and I believe that generally 'thin people' have a different mentality toward food than the big boys like myself.  If I went for a fry up, I would get the biggest one available and smash it in in double quick time.  'Thin' people would order what they want, one day it might be a huge fry up but if they just fancied a couple of slices of toast or a bacon banjo they would have that. 

In my humble opinion if you try and diet like crazy and drop 5st in 5 months you will fail, or you will succeed and put the weight back on later, but if you try and make some basic changes to your lifestyle, eat a bit better do a little more exercise not only is it much healthier it is more likely to last as it wont be a huge deal, just the way you live now.

I've been going to the gym for about a month now, eating better since January.  Yesterday I had a big mac, i was hungover and fancied it, it was nice.  I didn't order a large meal, 2 double cheeseburgers and a mcflurry, I ordered something i wanted but didn't go silly.  Today I tried to make sure I didn't eat anything too bad, not because if I wanted something I couldn't have it but because I am trying to fundamentally change my lifestyle.

I've started to ramble on a bit which wasn't really my intention.  But to summarise, small and often is the key.  Make changes that you can continue and you won't give up.  Go to the gym but don't over do it, try and push yourself, not because you have to but because you want to.  You will see the difference in a short period of time and that will drive you on, but if you go hell for leather I would place a large bet that in the end you will fail.

GL mate.  hope you do it!

Girgles - you have a lot of Jacket potatoes when you're in health mode - can I ask why?

They are carbs obv so not the greatest for helping to lose weight. Maybe a small portion of brown rice is better.

It is, just brown rice is a bit healthier than a big jacket potato which I assume Girgy puts butter on. I also said a small portion so he'd prob be taking in less carbs than a little brown rice. The brown rice was a suggestion of another carb rather than replacing it, which would be better. So Girgles if you wanna scrap the jacket for some cottage cheese, gogogo

Yeah Girgy seems sensible, as a fat lad myself who has tried dieting myself. Torturing yourself by eating stuff you don't like is never going to work.

If you don't like brown rice but do like Jacket potatoes, the EV of eating the latter is much better long term.

I've never been one to really pay much attention to fuel prices. However, in December I did realise how much i'd spent on fuel and decided I needed to try and drive less. Since then it's gone up a lot. Also, my insurance jumped by a few hundred this year. Add road tax and mot on top of that and I'm wondering whether I should really bother with my car. I could probably live without it.

It's all the same stuff. There's a wholesale market in all the oil products, just as there is in crude oil, so Shell will happily buy cargoes from BP of 95 or 98-octane gasoline that was produced by a refinery owned by ExxonMobil or Total. Obviously the supermarkets don't have oil refineries anyway, so they just buy on the market from other companies in the same way. I guess there can be a small difference at Shell when they eventually stick some additive in it to make it 'Optimax' or whatever, but in terms of the basic product there's no difference. It's usually a bit cheaper at the supermarkets only because it gets people into their shops, so they have more opportunity to make extra sales of other stuff.

Petrol sobbery? - I always buy from Supermarkets as it is always cheaper...as my company doesn't give enough back in expensives to even cover that!!

Same as supermarket food brands, always cheaper but basically the same stuff as a rule of thumb.

I think ASDA have a blanket UK price on fuel, whereas other supermarkets just do it a couple of pence cheaper than whats around them.

So, if you live near an ASDA you get cheaper fuel, even if you don't use ASDA themselves, as the others are forced to compete.

I broke my left leg when i was about 19. Was football training and a ball popped up at a nice height to challenge my mate for a header. We both jumped for the ball and he won the challenge sigh :( and knocked me off ballance. About 20st landed on my left leg and i snapped my fibia. I now have a metal plate holding my fibia together and a 6" scare to prove it.

My leg swells badly at times so i do well that it doesnt cause me too much problems with my running.

If you have Chicken Breast and some salad it's good enough, if you steam into one of the nice ones like a Meatball Marinara you're smashing home about 2x as many cals :D

Obv Meatball >>>>>>>>>>> Chicken so I just stay away as to avoid temptation.....

Weekend update....

Didnt train Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Kept up with my diet.

Saturday i had 3 slices of brown toast. Afternoon had a foot long Chicken Temptation from Subway. Fruit and some weigh watchers biscuits whilst at work.

Sunday is my 'treat' day. Had a Carvery from the pub. Had a ham sandwich on white for my tea whilst at work.

Good thing is im not stopping at maccy d's or the garage for junk. Not had a bag of crisps or chocolate bar for over a week!!

Monday i went with my Dad for another pub lunch. Had rump steak, butterfly chicken, jacket potato and some onion rings.

Been a while since i updated.....

Been strugling with a calf injury for the last 2 weeks and been having physio on it. Been doing quite a bit of streching and upper body weights.

I have managed to maintain my weight tho and currently 23st 11lbs.

This week ive been back on the treadmill. Did a steady 20 minutes yesterday as well as some bike work and Chest weights. I couldnt move after the weights. I did 4 reps @ 60kg. 2x20kg and bar. Was doing around 90kg at my strongest in Aus that was 2008.

Today i got more into the treadmill and completed 4km in 41 minutes. Small shoulder and tricep session. Calf is feeling ok so fingers crossed this friday will be my last physio session!!

Def able to do it with the right diet mate, I went from 18st to 14stone in about 6 months. That was a couple years ago though and I could still do plenty of cardio. I struggle a bit more now I'm trying to shift it again, the key on the whole is the food and if you get that right you're laughing.

Keep it up m8 you'll get there!!

Right mate

I haven't read your thread for a while and I was fairly surprised to see you weight 24st.

I'm gonna be blunt mate, when you are 24 stone, its easy to loose weight! Sorry if that sounds harsh but it is.

Have you ever read any kind of diet/nutrition books? Do you know much about food, how it affects your body etc etc.

Like I say, I'm gonna be blunt, you need to make this a priority in your life. I mean ffs you live at home. Surely your mum cooks for you? Surely you can control that to a degree?

As for maccy ducks - the food is dog shit. You could eat better out of bins. Just watch the film super size me, and if you keep eating it you are a clown.

If you want my recommendations then I would say either buy the Paul McKenna "i can make you thin"  or find out about low carb/low GI eating (Atkins/south beach etc) For people who have sedantry life styles these are good. You can then introduce exercise once you start your weight loss.

Im saying it cause I like you kidda! Im hardly the slimmest in the world but you really need to focus on this if you are going to make it work

(this is better than my first shot)

thats cool mate

All i would say is there is no way you could run alot on a low carb diet - if you could you would be 12st in a month - just not gonna happen.

If teh running is really going well then keep it up and read paul mckenna - you need to understand the psychology of food and also the sugar cycle - learn that and you can control cravings

girgs, at that weight you can eat nearly 3.5k calories a day and not get heavier. that's a lot of food, it should be really difficult for you to put on weight if you're paying any attention at all to your diet so you're doing something very wrong

it'll be a lot harder once you've dropped some weight and a bit of yoyoing is to be expected but right now it should be easy

come on girdy, you can't tell me that you don't have any idea what is and isnt good for you.

If you did something like this you would lose 4lbs a week.

Breakfast - Cereal (nothing with sugar/chocolate - things like Shreddies, weetabix, bran flakes, or even cornflakes) with semi skimmed milk.

Lunch - Sandwich without loads of mayo.  I like beef but you can have anything in there as long as you use marg not an inch of butter

Tea - Meat and two veg.

Snacks - why not get some of them breakfast bars, ones with loads of oats and shit in them.  they arent as nice as a mars bar but they dont taste too bad.  Eat some fruit, apples or grapes or something.

Anyone who's in any way serious or determined to lose weight and diet doesn't eat snacks. This is genuinely not a rub but I think that the simple reason some people are successful at dieting and some fail miserably is down to one thing, how determind you are to lose weight. It's not easy to do and if your not 100% then your going to fail, pretty much the case with most things but especially so with dieting.I know nothing about foods but cmon, it's pretty obv, cut down on what you intake don't have many takeaways and other shit like that and you will succeed. GL with it Girgy.

I would bet £1k that Girdy can't lose 4st by the end of the year.

I think he said he could do 5st by nov so that should be easy

any takers (excluding girdy) ?

I like girgles. I want girgles to do it really badly, he just needs to stop making excuses and get on it. A few months hard work and change of lifestyle and he'll feel soooo goof for it.

Just devise yourself a simple eating plan Girgy it's not hard to do mate, I was abs fucking clueless myself and just did a bit of research on the internet. I joined a training forum asked some questions and people helped me out.

I'm naturally a fat greedy pig who would happily be IV fed takeaways until I went Mr Creosote styleeeeee and I still do have days and even weekends where I over indulge and binge on all the shitty sugary carbs that I shouldn't have. When you eat those things you get an insulin spike and it feels good but you're not full for long and you just want more. If you can get to a point where you can control that the rest of it is pretty easy.


1030: Small bowl Shredded Wheat with Actimel or 2 scoops ProPeptide 1 scoop MP oats

1330: ½ Pro 50 Bar and tin Tuna or a Chicken Breast

1630: Turkey/Chicken with some salad leaves (handful nuts)

1900: Banana before workout

2000: Whey Protein 2 scoops

2030: Chicken/Steak/Fish + Sugar Snap/Broccoli/Microwave Mix Vegetables

2230: ½ Pro 50 Bar (Handful of Almonds/Cashews)

0130: Pro Peptide Shake 2 scoops


(Protein shakes all mixed with water)

When I first started dieting that was the diet I followed and it's not actually that hard. You throw in a stir fry sauce or something with your dinner and it's ok. If you like chips buy some sweet potatoes, chop them into wedges (with the skin on as that has the fibre) throw them on a baking tray sprayed with 1cal oil and bake. Come out just like wedges and they're not bad for you either. The snacking is the thing which will do you in and it's my biggest downfall too so I can relate. I'll just have a couple Maltesters.. Oh fuck have i eaten that whole box :(

The protein shakes and stuff are just to help you get protein in if you're not able to eat sufficiently through the day as are the protein bars. The protein bars are nice though and almost like a chocolate bar so you feel like you're cheating. I've been where you are and also been the one making the same excuses. Even last week I was being a tool and just started eating what I wanted again for a week. It was great fun but in the long term it's not any good because you get caught back in the same rut and will just fail all over again.

As most people have said you have to want to do it, just saying I'll sort this that and the other out won't help you in the slightest. It's just means to putting things off, there will always be obstacles and things which can obstruct you from your goals. The difference is if you really want to attain them then you will work out how to get around them not sit saying 'yeah but'

I said most of this last time you were starting the diet thing up and it's shame you didn't do it then. The more times you start and then give up  the harder it gets next time so get on it m8!!!

With your attitude I would steer clear of going on any diets. You will feel restricted by it and penalised by it so will fall off the wagon quickly. At your weight and with gym sessions you can shed pounds very quickly if you change your eating habits just a little bit. Wheel your cab into any 24hr Tesco and pick up a cooked chicken from the deli. You can scoff that whole hot chicken bud and it's cool. Or stop off at a chippy and get a chicken salad kebab. Eat fruit and fig rolls on the move. Drink plenty of water. Very easy to make simple changes that wont constitute a diet and these changes will be sustainable and long term. So lets gogogogo.

I don't want to get too personal but I think it is girgys mental attachment to the food an no doubt his sugar cycle that is the main problem! The advantage of a diet would be learning about these things. That said i do agree with mantis too.

One thing is for sure is that there is some rock solid advice in this thread. Girgy, you just need to provide the motivation and I'm sure there will be loads of people right behind you on here!

So you need

A plan
Motivation
GOALS
Then do some reading about it all

Let's gogogogogo

Know a taxi driver that carries a couple of bowls/spoons etc around with him, couple of boxes of different cereals, you must pass 100's of shops a day, make a point a stopping on your 1st trip, buy a small milk, pullover whenever you have 10 minutes, not glamarous but it will fall off.

Girgy don't give up, giving up.

I am not gonna preach at you, as I have been in your position for many years, I know how hard it is - but I can tell you it is possible.  I can't lie to you, it is hard and takes some sacrifice but on Jan 3rd I changed my lifestyle to a huge degree and have lost 4 st since, 5 inches off my waist and can walk from my car to the office without panting when I get there.

I have a long way to go and some days it is really hard, and I am not losing at anywhere near the rate I was, but I am still losing.  The details in the last couple of pages are about spot on for what I have done - simple diet, more exercise (not loads and less then you are doing now tbh), and I have just avoided takeaways and drink.

I can't believe Walkers have not gone bust, or KFC and Coca-Cola issued a profit warning due to the loss of my custom but I knew and have always known that I had to turn my back on these things if I wanted to make 40. 

Laz's death, Longy posting a before and after diet pictures, Red_Dogs daily weigh ins and the size of a T-Shirt I was given on a stag weekend all stunned me and inspired me to diet to a degree.  However at the end of the day I had to want to do it for myself, to improve my quality and hopefully longevity of my life - the people posting on this thread have your best interests at heart they are not taking the piss (well maybe Soviet  ;)) they are trying to help, and I can tell you the advice does work.

I can also tell you that I feel like a different person, to a degree I cannot explain.  I have a lust for life I had lost, and I didn't even know I had lost it.  I can't say I enjoy my diet, but I do get a kick out of it now in a sadistic way so its not all bad.

Good luck, keep trying, it is possible.

Wasn't tecnically a runner. He got out said I'm just off in house for the money and walked off. It was up one of the roughest estates around our area so I just wrote off the diver until I bump into the little toe rag again. It's not worth the hassle for a fiver you just take the hit and get on with the next job.

Hi girgles,

I'm cutting you out of it just like you cut me from your wsop staking.

Post by: GreekStein on July 26, 2011, 04:46:05 PM
I wasn't going to chase you for money when you were ignoring my pms and had ample time to pay. You were pissing me off and the numerous other stakers sorted the monies/replied very quickly.

Nice way to welch on our bet though that was booked. Says a lot.

If we do this maybe I can suggest a sensible target for each of us to do by the end of March. For me that would be a loss of 2lbs per week over that period, and maybe have a fine of £50 for each lb we fail by for charity?

If we do this, there will no buy out/get out clauses, they are a waste of time.

£50 PER LB not £50 for the total. Its should be easy, its got to be slightly painful if you don't achieve it.
