He went for bariatric surgery having a gastric band put on, otherwise I suspect he would not have lost the weight, and he does say that this is not an option for most people. He maintains that he never considered that he ate too much but that he piled on the weight due to an inactive life, having gone from an Olympian hopeful to a morbidly obese man, due to his work and studying at uni. He ate too much for what he was doing...otherwise he would not have ballooned to 27+ stone. Since losing 11 stone he does a great deal of exercise because he can, at his largest he could not even manage to set of stairs without becoming completely breathless, and he reckons he would be dead if he had not undergone surgery. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7883#post-79572 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:26:10 +0000 Claggy Cog 79572@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You need one of these</p> <p><a href="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382373_387156528006977_530742966_n.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382373_387156528006977_530742966_n.jpg</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7883#post-79551 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 14:10:08 +0000 Tulyar 79551@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>London 2012 is delivering soem fine subvertising and it's barely started </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Skip_Licker/status/228433622229741570/photo/1" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Skip_Licker/status/228433622229741570/photo/1</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Skip_Licker/status/228438309754503168/photo/1" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Skip_Licker/status/228438309754503168/photo/1</a></p> <p>and there's a brilliant bit of spliced up Boris doing the rounds as a spoof welcome to London 2012.</p> <p>The higher the shelf the more likely things will break when they fall off...... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7883#post-79527 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:00:07 +0000 chdot 79527@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>CyclingSurgeon (@CyclingSurgeon)</p> <p>26/07/2012 11:33</p> <p>Time to get tougher on obesity? beginning of my cycling story 2009 #getactive #getonyourbike #getmoving </p> <p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8279577.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8279577.stm</a></p> <p>@CTC_Cyclists<br /> " </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7883#post-79524 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:45:33 +0000 chdot 79524@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Joanna Blythman (@JoannaBlythman)</p> <p>26/07/2012 10:27</p> <p>So bad I think they mean. £5.99 worth of obesity in a bucket </p> <p><a href="http://pic.twitter.com/JlEqiKfn" rel="nofollow">http://pic.twitter.com/JlEqiKfn</a></p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7883#post-79516 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:04:49 +0000 chdot 79516@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Clive Tobutt, public health lecturer at Croydon College's university centre, says the links are well established and that more intervention from the local authority is needed.
