Gaz.
Your story is absolutely phenomenal, amazing, mind-blowing, and every superlative you can find in a thesaurus. Scarcely credible - and yet you've done it. I know all about diets (a bit like Mark Twain and giving up smoking), having been on them so often. But that degree of weight loss, and that degree of exercise, are the stuff of legends, and of inspiration.
You ask about your blog, and for constructive criticisms. Well, two things. First, your blog stands as it is, a tale of courage, perseverance and that too-rare commodity, the strength to haul yourself back on track when circumstances knocked you (quite literally) flat.
Second, but ONLY because you asked, I would say this. Yes, it does need 'subbing' - going through and deleting over-used exclamation marks, capital letters, putting in full stops in place of commas, that sort of thing. But compared to what you've done, subbing it is the very easy part, and one which I would be happy and privileged to do for you. Here are two paragraphs, first yours with its stylistic non-conformities (I don't use the word 'errors'), followed by my subbed version, which is no better, but which follows more standard writing conventions.
My name is Gary Brennan; you may know me as The Amazing Shrinking Gaz, The 39 Stone Cyclist, or just “the Fat Lad on a bike”. In January 2008 I weighed in at mind (and waist) busting 39stone and 13lbs. A few months before my GP has suggested to me that I consider a Gastric Bypass. I was shocked !!! I thought to myself “but they are for really fat people” , I was there for many health related issues and he realising how dire my situation was thought he would make the suggestion to help me. I left and thought nothing of his words. It was around 3 days later that , while struggling to walk from my living room to my kitchen that I decided “Actually I am a really fat” and with that, my light bulb moment, my life would never be the same again.

So, very little is changed, just cleaned up. If you want your blog page subbed in this way, it would take me about an hour, and as I said above, it really would be a privilege to make such a modest contribution to your achievement.
One medical question: how is the high BP and Type II diabetes? I ask because the last time I dropped a large amount of weight, I too started off with high blood-pressure and Type II diabetes, and ended up six stones lighter with normal BP and normal blood-glucose levels. I wondered whether you had similar improvements. (No, I've put it all back on again - it is a great danger, but one of which you are already aware).
If you'd rather push on by yourself, fine, but the offer of the subbing is there if you want to take it up. Mind, you seem to have done pretty darned well by yourself so far!
Best wishes,

i'd say within 12 months of cycling I was down to around 10mmol average and now runs off to get tester) as of this morning I am 5mmol (normal) my Gp said it was all weight related and around 9 months ago said he was happy to no loger call me diabetic but suggested i get tested every now and again (hence still having a home test kit)
