Got the Card this morning .It entitles the holder to use most Dublin City Gyms or Swimming pools for 13 euroa month if your over 55 they are not to strict on the age if you look it .There is an extra bonus like reduced entry into other Corpo venues and museums but there is a 4% discount on your shopping at Tesco if you use your card to get a Tesco card .If your Hen is spending a ton and a half a week on the Groceries from tesco thats a saving of 150 a year just for using the card .The card costs a tenner .
-
Sounds like you've got a hard on John....stay away from the pool for the moment!!

Ye might meet a new love interest...or an old flame that's been looking out for ye John....let us know how the affair progresses....we're a discreet bunch!!

Rathmines Leisure center has a bit of a reputation as a pick up joint .Id be fuck all use to anybody I get out of breath walking from the garden to the front door .Went in to Ballyer yesterday to sign up and pay .Girl at reception asks will you be using the facilities today ? I gave her me fuck off look .I had enough exercise for one day had to park in the Ballyfermot Club and walk across the Road .
-
Very good John.....can you tell us where the obituary might be posted!!
-
Im a fat lazy lumpy yoke Hal need to start looking after meself .Spend so much of my time lying on the sofa or sitting in the car me knees are getting sore when I stand up .
-
Something tells me you're quite fit and healthy, John. You seem to run yourself down far too much....I'd say you do "The Iron Man" every summer.
-
Topped out @ 21 stone 10 dont exercise drink tooooooooo much .Thats the state of my physical health not sure about my mental health .You can get caught in a loop of working watching telly mouthing on the tinterweb an hour a day in the Gym might will make a change .

You could shave a couple of stone off by cutting down on the carby grub and just walking everyday. Large lads lose lard quicker. Pissing against the wind if you just exercise. Theres no easy way around it, there has to be a calorie deficit.
If youre 22 stone your daily calorie allowance is 2420 kcals per day if you want to lose 1lb pw.
Thats the equivalent to roughly 12 cans of guinness or a Fresh cod, chips and 2 slices of buttered batch and a cup of scald with milk or
3 medium big mac meals with Diet coke per day.
Or you could eat tons of rabbit food with skinless chicken for breakfast, dinner an tea. Most diets allow for endless amounts of vegetable. Bottom line. Some willpower is required.

Your mental health is fine if you can laugh at his place. The serious ones need shrinks.

Willpower is not easy .Im off the gargle still eat rubbish .This game with irregular shifts and sleep dosent help but the biggie is you can justify not giving a bollox because of your lifestyle .Going to try early morning Gym followed by 4 hour shifts Mon to Thurs then usual Friday and Sat Night shifts dont usually work Sunday .Need to try get a routine .The older you get the more I dont give a bollox creeps in .

All just habits, theyre changeable. Takes time but doable. Best off try giving up one thing at a time. If ya go in with all guns blazing you'll be probably be miserable about it.
You like numbers so get a Fatbit or some other tracker and the Myfitness pal app. Log everything you eat + exercise done into the app. The app gives you numbers i.e calories saved since day 1 so you can see a numerical value for your efforts. You could even throw your gambling hobby into it by having a wager with someone on how much weight you lose in a given time but youd have to be reasonable about it. As for the nosebag end of it. I Know this is stating the bleeding obvious here but If you make all your own grub thats usually healthier than anything out of a packet.
Thats me advice.

Ride a few fat oul wans....i'm surprised LL hasn't given this valuable advice yet!!

Let him lose a few stone first before we start giving out advice like that

Worst thing he could do, Hal. Start with the ones who have low self-esteem...hare-lips and casts in their eyes. Comfort rides and benefactor sex etc.. Actually, I reckon he's happily married anyway, so the rest is a waste.
-
The sympathy ride ye mean LL. A philanthropic donation..
-
Maybe. Benefactor sex is when you tell the receptacle of your 10cc that you'll be there for her/him when the going gets rough.

Thanks John.Great value.

Do they do a companion pass like some of the bus passes???

-
Get off the laptop and get out for a walk ya fat cunt!

Get off the laptop and get out for a walk ya fat cunt!
I think Gerry would have a better motivational rant at the fat fuk than that....ye just can't get the staff these days!!
-

You forgot your dietitian advice.
And eat loads of processed Pig,
Sausages, black pudding, salty rashes,
Fried egg, fried bread, fried tomatoes,
And be a fat Cunt like me.
Just fixed your post,

Two seater couch?.....Gerry would have said a three seater!!

I shouldn't really comment as I have an eating disorder which basically means that I very seldom get hungry.
Apart from that, Fook the Telly out the window, you can live without it. I have done so fer almost 10 years,
and never has a day passed that I miss it.
Walking and a decent diet will shed the pounds slowly in time, If'n ya get the 'Munchies' then go out and eat
a head or Two of LETTUCE !

-
3 stone by Christmas seems ambitious, erm. Drop your target to 2 stone - always better to be pleased at beating the target than feeling like a useless lump of lard 'cos you failed.
-

And Gerry would have been correct.
-

If I set the target @ 2 stone then as soon as I dropped 1 I would start easing off 3 stone is the target but if i drop 2 it would be a start .I really need to drop about 5
-

.I really need to drop about 5
That'd get you to 16 stone... are you planning to grow to 8 foot 9 inches tall?
You don't need to lose all the excess in a couple of months, you didn't gain it in a couple of months.
-
I was ready to go to the Gym this morning bag packed the bag is still packed I might go tomorrow .
-
Personally I would't even bother with the gym starting off. All ya need to do is to start walking a bit and increase it every day. You'd be surprised how much weight you'd drop by just walking. What happens to most people when they join a gym is they start lifting weights on the first day and end up wrecking themselves. Most don't last tbh.
-
What did you pack... 14 sandwiches and a copy of the Racing Post?
You could look at the whole overweight thing another way and just consider yourself to be vertically challenged.
-
If I honest Rodent its not just weight Im lapsed into turbo sofa mode need to motivate meself to get off me arse not even doing 20 hours in the car now .Its probably a bit of depression or dont give a fuck need to snap out of it .
-
Just don't chase the Frankey buffed look....i woulda offered him my 28" waist Levi 501's from my 80's rock n roll days
-
Lack of one causes the other, John. I head out for a walk most mornings. Great for the head. I usually do about 10k a day when I'm not working, happy with 5k on a workday.
-
Our kid bought me a pair of Wranglers 40 inch waist for Christmas and Tommy Hilfiger top in NY a few years ago .If I can get into them for this Christmas id be happy .
-
There's a lot of taximen in the graveyard and none of them wishing they'd spent a few more hours in the cab. By point of fact, none of them are wishing anything because they are deceased. If you enjoy doing nothing do more of it. However, if you do want to motivate yourself to work I'd suggest building a structure around that but don't set unattainable targets. Then, keep a cash book and record your hours and takings, that way you can see numbers in black and white that prove working is beneficial financially. Exceeding easily achievable targets ought to help with motivation.

I hate Tommy Hilfigers.

Your an Olympic athlete Honestly I cant remember the last time I walked two miles .Usually bed to sofa to car .Its just habit inactivity creeps up on you .Parked up on the Aston you realize that a lot of lads are probably in the same loop .I notice my concentration is fucked cant watch a film or read a book.
-
I'd say most of us lack focus. If we weren't dysfunctional cunts we'd have proper jobs.
-
Starting from scratch just do a mile a day and take it from there. Make an excuse to move instead of driving everywhere. Yill get used to it eventually.

Meself and the missus are planning our retirement!!

40 inches, the poor kid obviously got mixed up with meters.
A well ye might get your arms into them by Christmas.

I would agree with Gerry on all that.
Bet some other fat kount (not me) on who could lose the most weight by Christmas,
that will motivate you !

Exactly and within 6 weeks his Keto will have kicked in. Losing more than 2 or 3 lbs is a week is self-defeating. 40 days and 40 nights before the liver starts breaking down the fats properly.
-
Go see your doctor John, maybe it is depression, it affects us all at some stage in our lives.
Start doing set hours for work, start at 8, finish at 2, for a few days a week and increase it. It will give You something to get up for and be motivated for.
Eat whole foods, chicken, ham, steak, mince, try not use the processed foods. Plenty of veg with the dinner, not chips(and dont say they are potatoes) try sweet potatoes,
If you have a Samsung smart Phone, use the S Health App, or any other fitness app, track what you eat, drink, exercise, sleep, heart rate etc etc etc
When working, download CWMoney(free version)
I use it and track everything on it,
It tells you your Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly total earnings. You can set up different accounts for Cash work, MyTaxi work etc etc.
Oh and the best of luck with it all.
Oh and cut out one of the take away a week, that'll save you 20-30 quid, save it and get yourself a personal trainer. They deal with all kinds of people, big heavy folk and the slim fit bastard but they will help motivate you and achieve your goals
-
Start with 6 hours and increase it? If he wanted to do those sort of hours he could get a real job.
-

Still dont know what I want to be when I grow up .
I have finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up !
A street vagrant/alcoholic, the only thing stopping me at the moment is the
7 days drinking bit, I'm bollixed if'n I even drink Two days in a row, let alone 7 !
Maybe if I practise more then I might get the hang of it, the money is only OK,
but the Zero hours working week is great.
The pay is 212Euro per week with the alcoholic disability allowance, but ya can
easily Treble or Quadruple that if'n ya sit on a street corner at peak pub closing
hours with a cup in your hand, ya can even multiply it by Five or Six if'n ya can
manage ta find a small dog to sit on your lap while begging, and fer 45 Notes
a week Simon or SVDP with give you 3 Hots and a Cot.
And Free medical care fer life.
-
Go for it Ken....i'd pay to go and see that!!
-
Do homeless people get the dole or disability equivalent?
-
Ye need an address afaik
-
Ye need an address afaik
Vagrant implies homeless...wanderer etc. Just playing Hitchens to another's Jesus.
-
Start with 6 hours and increase it? If he wanted to do those sort of hours he could get a real job.
As in increase th3 amount of days ya do. It’ll get him outta the house and possibly interacting with other folks. Shit he could do the day shifts but it gets him outta the house and maybe not as depressed(if he is depressed)
-
Ye need an address afaik
The Simon or SVDP address will do.
The only requirement to stay in those hostels is to be in before 10pm,
that's hardly a big ask !
