I know there is a lot less of you to find Gaz but you appear to have vanished! I can't seem to see his blog and have not seen him posting lately?

Anyone know how he is getting on?

    EH Up

    I posted just a couple of hours ago :D

    but its true, I have not been here for a while, work and home life have been taking the toll on me.

    I have decided to "Re-Invent myself" Amazing Shrinking Gaz was something off the cuff, I am looking at re-blogging but under a diffrent name, however with work it might not be until new year.

    I am looking at getting a turbo trainer for weekends and I this week I have lost 6 lbs.

    Amazing Shrinking Gaz may be no more, the the journey NEVER ends !

    PS Thanks for asking about me :D

    Oh, I forgot to say, 1 stone off your original target. Now that is impressive! I bet when you 1st started you couldn't even imagine being here!

    Ten stone so far that's incredible!

    So with the finish line in sight, what's the next target?

    Hi Gaz. I've just found this thread. A couple of people were wondering what had happened to you over on CycleChat too. I'll point them to this thread but it would be good if you could spare a few minutes to pop over to CC and let people know how you are doing. (Someone has recommended your original post there for the 'Post of the year' award.)

    I think he has quit blogging or so was Joby (one of his best mates) reporting.

    I believe is something to do with real life issues but he might even appear here to explain it all.

    I still find that amazing, 19 stone lost.....it's like giving just shy of 2 of me a piggy back.

    I work with the big man and I'm happy to report he is doing swell. I'm sure he is too modest to post this himself and I hope he doesn't mind me broadcasting this, but he won his category at the Manchester Proud Awards last week. He was nominated for sporting achievement of the year!

    Morning All :D

    Just wanted to say while it is true I am having problems in "real life" I am in the process of building another blog, my original started as somewhere to store pictures when I was first losing weight and developed into a monster, something that would take over most of my evening and with kids and a wife at home I cant return to that level again, but there will be another one, I hope its just as good too, albeit diffrent.

    El Diego mi auld muckka, I dont mind at all, tho you just runied the first post of the new blog :D only joking mate, Hope you enjoyed the evening, I did, even if I was too nervous to relax.

    to everyone else, I will update my sig when then work is done, hope to see you all there.

    Gaz

    PS the weight loss journey, regardless of blog will NEVER end !

    Blog or no blog, you deserve it Gaz. Quite an achievement, whatever else happens.
