Well Done on your first week, losing 6lbs is a great start, but remember the first week is always the easiest as your body isn't aware of the change until after it happens!
Don't be disheartened if this week you find that you either don't lose or just drop a little. A Healthy weight loss is between 4 - 8 lbs per month, so 6 in the first week is very encouraging.
well done hoggers, great start. after taking down the northern half of tkp with an awesome display of 10 seater sngs as well you must be feeling very good about life at the moment. keep up the good work a+
I just weighed myself and I am now 18 Stone 1lbs so I believe (Tommy pleasce check cos I am to lazy and I am hungry cos im writing this before brekkie) a 5lbs loss. I am well happy with this so a good start for both myself and Greg.
There is a long way to go and I/we really appreciate everyones support here, your advice, encouragenment and experiences really do help spur us on - if your not here posting then I try to avoid posting because I know that what we write at times are boring and don't want to bore others but it is a real help for me to post to keep myself focussed and mitivated so keep on our backs if you want to.
Off to get my brekfast, eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms, beans, toast, h a sh browns - that was my usual saturday fry up with the lads every saturday, today is crunchy nut.

Yes Dyl it's a 5lb loss to start.
Nice start both, but now the real challenge begins. It's always easy at the start, it'll be the coming weeks that test your metal.
Well I'm off to Spurs and then the pub for the day to refresh after playing like a donk for all month to date.
In Response to Re: The Bulkroll Challenge 2012 - Dylan Versus GregHogg : Out on a Friday night Greg? I'm of course assuming this is a late night museum visit. Or perhaps volunteering at a local shelter. Posted by TommyD
Lol it was actually a game of fun poker round a friends house. No money in play, and a few beginner players. I hope i didnt ruin it with my constant guessing of their cards and getting it completely wrong haha

Lets hope we are not on the end of an FA Cup giant killing today. I dont think Cheltenham can be underestimated, you heard it here first!
enjoy your day and thanks again Tommy for setting up this challenge

Ye once i get rid of the early bulk, i should keep within this

Ty, i think thats the first time since my Geography class in 1993 that I got an A+
Quick question, how much calories should I be eating? Had a chat with Greg last night and he consumes like 600-800 calories a day but I am way over that and think he is consuming to little - any thoughts/advice? Posted by dylan12
Signup to this site I posted about earlier http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ it will give you a rough idea of what you should be aiming for.
You can then use it to keep your food diary and it will tell you how many calories you've consumed and if you're hitting your targets.
You can even save your foods because lets face it, most of us eat the same kind of meals every week.
Well done to the both of you for your losses this week.
Greg Dylan made a post a bit ago saying you were only consuming about 600 calories a day. If that figure is correct that is way too low and could possibly be quite damaging over time. If it helps I came across this website http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide_men.htm and it will help work out what you need your calorie intake to be to lose weight at a safe rate. Both of you might find it useful and well done both so far.
Good start guys but i have to echo what others have said about it being easy at first.
Like i said in my original post, its a lifestyle change. Keep adding in good habits and they will become normal over time. Suppose its a bit like poker, you are constantly plugging leaks (well, i am!) in your game and its the same regarding your lifestyle. Adding extra bits of exercise, or improving your diet, should become the norm if you show enough discipline.
This first 6 months or so is'nt too important (well apart from beating each other), its the rest of your lives. Get into good habits should be easy at first, its sticking to them which is the hard part.
Its no good getting your weight down and feeling healthy in 6 months if you both have to do this again next year!
On Saturday, I felt really tired in the afternoon all of a sudden, and realised that i probably wasn't eating enough. So I ate a bit more than I had been. Also had a couple of Jack Daniels and diet coke in the evening.
Today I ate 3 wheetabix trather than the usual two, tomato pasta and then went for a long walk/jog (although Dylan wont believe me lol)
Thanks for the cautionary posts about the first few days being easy etc etc, think this is gonna be extremely tough, but in the long run, I'm sure it will be worth it.
Thanks for your comments guys, i think this community will be a big part of helping us both get there! Its hard to change 10 years + of bad habits overnight but we will give it a **** good go!!
