An UPDATED Video on what cycling has done for me.

[Cat]

Hi Gaz,

congratulations on what you have achieved so far

How are you getting on since your vid update was last year, wondered how your getting on this year

How you doing it through healthy eating and excercise or are you part of a club?

I lost 5 stone 3lbs starting in april 2009 and finishing in november 2009. The hardest part for me is keeping it off, these days x

Hi there, Gary is it?

I'm new to the site and just stumbles on this thread. Amazing story, and i checked out the UTube vid. Also amazing. How's it all going? I see no recent updates, but would be interested to know if you've "maintained the rage" as some like to say.

Peter.

How much of an inspiration have you been Gaz? Well let me tell you......I have tried all sorts to get my weight down including most of the 'fad' diets, gym and walking (running or jogging is a no-no with my joints). But it has been after watching your success that I have knuckled down and started regular commuting on my Brompton, one treadmill session at the gym per week ( any more often and it gets boring ) and regular nice long (for me) rides between Brighton and Littlehampton (and beyond). I have just had to work out a regime to fit around my work and, to be honest, I don't know why I didn't get on my bike ages ago. When I say bike, I mean bikes as I now have 4 such is my enjoyment. I have even taken to wearing cycling gear now whereas before I used to commute in my uniform which was a real pain to be honest. I get silly remarks about my appearance in bike togs from the numpty brigade at work but it's ME who feels great now.

Good luck Gaz.

Congratulations Gaz, you have done amazing well and are a real inspiration.

On your blog you have a photo of a monitor with some software that shows your speed and calories burned etc. Does it connect to your trainer and what is the software?

Fantastic achievement to lose so much weight, many congratulations. Best of luck in getting down to your target

I've just started out in my own (much smaller) quest to lose 4+ stone. Cycling is going to play a big part in this too - both commuting and on the exercise bike. Hopefully Dreams Come True will benefit and provide my motivation when things get tough - you've provided my inspiration

Hey Bill

Well done and chosing to change, I found through the years that it can be the hardest part.

People will always judge but only we know just how much better we feel now !!!!

Well done and keep on it mate

My commute is a 10.5 mile round trip, so nothing close to yours. But the extra work I'm doing on the bike at home is making a big difference.

I know I can lose weight - many times I've lost 5kgs or so but then given up and ended up putting on more It's having the motivation to get off my arse and do it properly! Somehow my wife's motivational "speeches" don't work So maybe doing it for charity will do the trick.

So far I've lost 2kg in 8 days (plus another kg the week before that, but that's before I started getting sponsors). Things are moving in the right direction and not going too fast
