The Bulkroll Challenge 2012 - Dylan Versus GregHogg
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.

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.
Best of luck with this challenge though guys - all in a worthy cause.
KFC is so lovely.
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
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.
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!)
Good luck guys.
Gooooo Tommy!!!!!!
can we have BMI s please
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
This is a good site to sign up to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
You put in your weight, target weight etc. You then list everyday what you've eaten so you can keep track of calories. You can also list what exercise you've done so it gives you a rough idea of what calories you've burned and how many you're supposed to be consuming each day.
Dylan, just eat 5 Krispy Creme Donuts each day for breakfast, 4 packets of crisps for lunch and 5 mars bars for dinner. Oh and 3 Kebabs for supper. ALL WITH FRIES. and think youself thin! the weight will soon come off
Drink plenty of fizzy drinks too like Coke (not diet)
Gl gl
Just play more poker
At least you can get on it in front of the tv or whilst listening to some music.
it's the healthy part that is difficult.
big change from
large or small kebab
to
kebab or fish
Just commit to changes in your diet, not for the short term but the long term
plus biggest change you can make it to have a big lunch and a light healthy evening meal
Especially if your doing nothing in the evening
Plus yes your body needs fuel to burn, raising you metalabolism is the best way to lose weight ie. weightlifting plus running is ++++++
Weightlifting for the burn and running for your heart
or just go on a crash diet lose 1 stone and put it all back on in 2 weeks
Change your diet - do not diet
ps. I am overweight 2 - I feel your struggle )
running at 6am is not much fun, but you feel better about yourself ::::::)
