I wish I had paid attention in science lessons at school...
I would have learnt that water is heavy... This morning I stepped on the scales and I was shocked that my weight was really low. I thought this might be a technical fault with the scales, but then the thumping headache made me realise that I could be a little dehydrated!
Confession time...
Last night after a very stressful and busy week at work I decided to treat myself to the following...
King size Lion Bar. packet of crisps a 70cl bottle of Southern Comfort
Somehow, i managed to drink most of the Southern Comfort (with diet lemonade lol). Bad i know, considering there are 24 units in that bottle, and the rda is 4 units! I wasn't intending to drink that much, but as the poker flowed, so did the booze.
So... I drunk three pints of water this morning and reweighed myself and I am going with that higher weight for the weigh in as it is much more accurate.
Poker wise, its been a good week. from a really small bankroll, I managed to bink the mini open on Tuesday for £250... then lost a chunk of it on Wednesday at 10nl. Managed to recover last night and binked the £100 gtd hilo for about £60. That got 34 runners, and no Tommyd either so it can't be his value that attracted people this time :)Hilo is a funny old game, there are a huge amount of nits in that mtt, that just limp fold 90% of their range, its quite funny also that they will snap fold when I c bet the flop with nothing and no draws having commited my stack. Hilo is fun, play it!I still cant beat nl10 though because i'm playing too many hands... just cant help myself sometimes, but at least im starting to win at the HU hypers finally.
Back to the diet stuff. I have been good all week, 3 wheetabix daily, soup for lunch and pasta for dinner mostly. Also been exercising... played badminton for an hour on Thursday and gonna make that a regular weekly fixture along with the badminton club on a Monday. Also doing long walks/ and brief jogs. I'll defo be doing one of those tomorrow, as my punishment for getting wasted last night!!
This week Im gonna try to build the br up a bit more so I have enough for Luton SPT. If i have to buy in direct for £220 i might sell 50%. I don't know 100% if i will be going yet, but if you would be interested in buying 5% or 10% please pm me. I might not sell at all, just pm me if you would be mad enough to risk £11 or £22 quid on a huge donk and ill let u know first if i decide to sell.
OK, weigh in time...Start Weight 19 stone 8 Current Weight18 stone 11 Weight Lost11 pounds Weight to lose to reach target- 3 stone 7 pounds
Was dreading the weigh in this morning, I have been excersising more (walking) but the diet didn't go as well due to eating at wrong times and eating some dubious meals at times!
In total I lost 3lbs this week so I am quite happy with this, a loss is a loss so no complaints but must try harder!
Well done to Greg, he is doing well fair play, just hope we both maintain with the losses each week now, it's not going to be easy so we need to work hard at this!

nice one Dyl, this challenge will only get harder imo for both of us and i think 3 pounds is a good weekly loss
To lose 9lbs in your first two weeks is very commendable, just remember the previous posts telling you a steady healthy weight loss is easier to maintain than large losses.
And you will have off days, the trick is to come out the other side fighting.
To Dylan and Greg, don't worry to much about a bad day here and there, you're both poker players so just think of it as "variance", Do the right thing most of the time and you'll be happy with the results,.

Firstly, your doing great. Really well done so far Hoggers. The giant highlighted bit is the bit i want to get nitpicky about. This is obviously a vast improvement already but if possible, swap these around. Pasta will release energy slowly (carbohydrates) and would be better eaten at lunch time so it releases it for the rest of your day as you need. If you have it at dinner time (we call it tea time up noorth) it will still be releasing energy overnight and there is more chance of your body storing it as fat.
Like i say, nitpicky, and it wont matter too much but as you know, small edges add up to big advantages!

Dylan, this is fine. You know you have had difficulties this week and you know where you went wrong which is what you need to rectify but hey you still lost 3lbs mate. If you do that for 10 weeks you would be well happy. Your going in the right direction. Try and rectify a few of this weeks erm, weaker moments and that would be even better.

Thanks Dr.
I hae pasta in the evenings because i do my exercise then, and it means i hae enough energy for badminton/jogging. But I will bear your comments in mind.
Did you know Fat weight is the same as Muscle weight so exercising and turning fat into Muscle will not make to lose weight. However if you Stop Drinking 20 pints of Lager a night it will. Did you know a big fish like you is worth a fortune at Billingsgate Market. ? :-))
Great stuff both - obv I'm rooting for my fellow Spur, but keep going both!
You're inspiring me on my own health quest after spending most of last year on take-outs.
Thanks to all who have posted advice on here, been a great help.
Passed my 1st major test on Fri nite as only had 1 pint and stuck to spirits+diet coke after that - then had baked potato&grilled chicken instead of chips&kebab!
BUT - as many have posted above, it's easy to do this for one week - making a lifestyle change is the real test, the hard work starts now, gl!
Enjoying MOTD2 right now, great result Swans - COYS! 8->

Sorry to nitpick, but this is a very often misunderstood statement. Of course, 1kg of fat weighs the same as 1kg of muscle, they are the same weight (actually, mass, for those who try to re-nitpick me). The difference is, muscle is more dense (has more mass per unit volume) than fat.
Exercising burns calories, which are stored in fats in your body. While you break down and burn these calories, you are also improving muscles and increasing their density, but not at equal rates, so you will definitely lose weight from exercising. You also improve your metabolic rate (the rate at which you break down and use energy) from exercising, so there will be less excess energy, meaning less stored as fat.
You can be an unhealthy 17st and a very healthy 17st, the difference been a healthy 17st will be smaller because their muscle weight the same as the unhealthy 17st's fat weight. Hopefully I'll be proving this over the coming year, as I am really training hard to become a lot fitter and lose weight. I believe I'll plateau quite early and remain the same weight, yet still be losing fat as I gain muscle weight.
Edit: I understand in the context of your message that you were joking, sorry. Still, I think its useful for people to understand the weight loss/muscle gain thing

LOL Greg, I am sooo glad I am not the only one that does it then ☺
Keep going mate! you have gotta beat the Welsh right? (metaphorically speaking, ofc)
Greg, don't beat yourself too much about it but try not to do a whole bottle of booze again.
Dyl, good steady progress.
Well done both, onwards and upwards.
Keep it up guys, going great!

Your feedback is really helpful, thanks
Is there any truth in the rumour "GLifUlose" is your Fitness Trainer. ?
He has a HEM diet for you. High Energy Meals.
However if you Stop Drinking 20 pints of Lager a night it will. Did you know a big fish like you is worth a fortune at Billingsgate Market. ? :-))
