The Bulkroll Challenge 2012 - Dylan Versus GregHogg

edited February 2013 in Poker Chat

Ladies, Gentlemen and other, may I present to you what is sure to be the greatest event in the UK during 2012.  A battle of the bulge, a fight with the fat, a war against weight, a massacre of McDonalds, a conflict with the Colonel, a needle with Nandos and a heckle with the Hut.

The Bulk Roll Challenge 2012

In the red corner, Sky's Jackpot Luckbox, sponsored by his favourite Chinese takeout - Yu Swul Lo Mi Ouse, it's Dylan12




and in the Blue corner, it's the terror of the chatbox, the man who see's 'All You Can Eat' as a personal challenge and artform, Mr GregHogg




These lovely shapely Gentlemen have asked me to moderate this weightloss prop bet.  Between January 1st (when all bad ideas become New Years resolutions) and the Blackpool SPT they will attempt to get as near to their ideal weight as they can.  The loser will be donating £100 to charity (I believe of the winner's choice but I need that confirmed with the contestants).

Contestants, I need the following posted by you in this thread:

You accurate height

On Jan 1st, please conduct an accurate weigh in (we're using the honour system here but if I sense Tomfoolery I shall sendeth the Smacketh Downeth).

When you try to put your major two fingers and thumb around your wrist, do they:  Not touch at all; barely touch; or overlap (Let's be fair, we all can guess the wrist size here but I though I'd ask to be nice).

So now I ask the entire Sky Poker Community to post here with encouragement, advice, tips and all the lovely stuff we have come to know and love.  Dohhhhhhh you can post as well but try not to swear.

In all seriousness as well as doing it for a good cause and their own health, both Dyl and Greg have thrown themselves at your mercy to kickstart some fun in the forum for the New Year.  We all know things have gotten a little tetchy so here these men are, standing naked before you (in your mind at least with any luck), ready to ignore every base instinct they have.

A better rule structure will follow before the start of the year regarding weigh ins and a potential forfeit for either one of you or me, depending on if you both hit your weight.  Oh and as this is general poker chat, please feel free (contestants and well wishers) to comment on how this challenge is affecting their general play.  Will a lack of burger juice turn Greg into an ultra Lag?  Will a reduction in yeast based drinks reduce Dylan's 2 outer skill?  Let's see.

Good luck guys.

    Is this another challenge that Hogglaaaa is gonna lose?

    lard.

    Pig out from now until new year, the fatter u r the easier it is to lose weight! Which is why I struggle so much :(

    wibble.

    In the words of Brent, "fit body = fit mind" so if successful your poker games should improve!

    It will be out with the cellulite, in with the "raise you light"

    wobble.

    Vodka n diet coke it is then!!! 

    gl, gl both!.

    This is why we're doing percentage to a target weight rather than straight weight loss.  Always thinking me.

    Rich!!  Been a while pal, glad you like the idea.  The Blackpool SPT is on the 23rd of June so these guys have nearly half a year for this.

    Last known picture of Hoggers.

    As for weight loss, it's quite simple. Exercise more and eat healthier, not less. Very important because if you eat less whilst exercising more, you'll just get hungrier quicker and more tempted to snack on junk food/snacks. Always have breakfast and swap crisps and chocolate for fruit. If you have sugar in tea and coffee,either swap for sweetner or cut it out completely.
     Good luck with this guys, stick it out. It'll be well worth it.

    Based on this sentance alone, I think hoggers has a good chance of winning - Talk has it that he thinks his ideal weight is 19 Stone, so he only needs to put on a few pounds lol.

    Best of luck with this challenge though guys - all in a worthy cause.

    Think this Challenge is open to Cheating or Collusion we need a speaking Weight Machine.
    When I want to lose weight I go round to my friends scales they say I'm two pound lighter.
    Have the scales been Verified like the RNG and how do stop them standing on one foot or using Arabic scales so no one can workout their weight.  Plus should they be weighed in the buff as Dylan's wallet must be heavier than Greghogg's. !  Mmmm

    Bump.

    This is going to be great.

    Another top tip, eat soup as it keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

    I think my money is on Dylan.

    Much respect to Tommy for agreeing to moderate this battle of the bulk!

    This will be a good humoured challenge, but tbh i am really serious about getting to my ideal weight. I'm at an age where i really need to get to grips with my health so the timing of this is perfect!

    The thought of losing this challenge has not entered my mind, i am fully determined to see it through. Good Luck to Dylan and thank you all for your help and support so far.

    Anyway, the below picture demonstrates perfectly why I am doing this! It is the most accurate reflection of my current weight. (taken about 1 month ago, and the puppy is real!)

    As Gregdonk says, thanks Tommy for agreeing to oversee this and beginning the thread, it aint gonna be easy but I will give it my best shot! 

    We both would really appreciate any tips/advice any of you have to help us with this because Greg's idea of a diet is to order a small portion of chips with his fish rather than a large portion. I will certinally be trying your soup suggestion Acidman, thanks for that. 

    Myself and Gregory will be spurring each other on to do well but I am very competitive and certinally want to win this thing. I hope you will have plenty of laughs at our expense and if either of us are slacking then please get on our case! 

    We await further rules and regulations from Mr TommyD but we will be both posting on this thread on the 1st of January with our weight, height and wrist thingy! 

    I don't really have a recent photo as such and the one below actually makes me look quite slim due to me being stood besides Grumps...

    Glad this is building some momentum (no offence lads).  Full rules will be up today or tomorrow but will basically be regular weigh in updates, live weigh ins at any SPT attended before Blackpool (I've already got the scales, lush they are) and you'll get your individual target weights in the first few days of January.  This should not affect you as the opening months will obviously be 'lose as much weight as you can.'

    Eat less and work out - not difficult just need the correct motivation )

    If you reach 7% body fat you can have a six pack )

    Always something to aim for guy's )

    good luck, it's not easy
