    I don't want to end up like you Gary, I suffer(?) with the same condition as you and two years ago it hit me that at 16.5 stone I weighed too much and through better diet and insulin regime I've managed to bring my weight down to 99kg, not a great loss but it makes me feel better for it. Do need to get more miles in my legs.

    Cheers everyone, I have been so lucky in the respect that I regained my love of cycling pretty quickly after jumping on the bike and everything has gone pretty smooth since.

    prj45: Those tits are mine lol, thanks dude and thanks for the donation, much appreciated

    fatgrimpeur: Thanks, Poster boy, now its been a while since anyone called me that lolol

    linsen & biondino: Think its gonna take a while for me to smile, last time I did was around 10 years ago so that part is still in rehab.

    fossyant: Do you ever pass though Hyde ? Myself and another commuter heading the other way tend to see each other most mornings (Hes a roadie with a red beanie) we nod,wave and grunt at each other, its a beautiful thing lol

    edhornby: You need a conservatory ? Or Roofing then im....not your man lol

    Once again thanks everyone, It was pretty hard to join a community like this (of people who are either very fit or not hugely overweight) but I have to say apart from one person everyone has been brilliant here,

    It really makes the workday go faster too lol

    Unless you are bi-lingual ie imperial and metric, your weight loss means nothing to people as you give starting figure in imperial and final one in metric units

    Great work there!
    Page 3 is an accolade that nearly only Sam Fox would inspire me from before. :lol:
    I'm a hefty rider myself, and trying to loose it. This winter has been terrible (several reasons) but new bike is being put together as I write this and I can't wait to get in some serious miles again :D

    According to those pictures you cheated on your weight loss.





    You cut your hair :wink:

    Seriously well done, that is a major change. I am sure your bike will be thanking you by getting quicker and quicker :D

    Outstanding work! Really inspirational.

    So here's something for you to ponder.

    Once you've lost your 20 stone, what next?
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Bike 1
    Bike 2-A
