...and there was me thinking I'd done well to lose 5 stone!
I was 17st12 when I decided to change my lifestyle, and weighed 12st10 when I stepped on the scales last Saturday for my weekly weigh-in.... (I blogged about my story here, with an update here if you're interested). I went about things differently from you – you could say I did it "My Way"
– and only recently started cycling. I built up to 15 mile runs, bought a more road-orientated bike, joined a friendly cycle forum (!) and started commuting every now and again (28 mile round trip). Did it once at first, then twice a week last week. Today was my third cyclo-commute this week, and I'm chuffed.
People told me my weight-loss and change of lifestyle was inspirational, but I think it pales into insignificance reading your story. Well done Gaz

Carrying the Olympic torch just because you've lost weight? Really? Respect to what you've done mate, no doubt absolutely no doubt what so ever, but really? You're joking right?

my understanding of the olympics it to inspire mankind to get off its backside and get moving.
Gary, i do hope you get to carry the torch, as i know you have inspired me to do something about my weight and previously sedintary lifestyle. i am sure im not the only one. so in reply to Brahan, Gary's amazing weight loss, is only part of it. if you take into account all the other people out there that have followed his example, carrying the torch is the least tthe country could do, personally think the Queen should give him a gong.
