As you're probably about to discover, I've never written a blog before, so welcome to my very first attempt at writing one!
This blog will be, amongst other things, about my weight loss journey that lies ahead. As the title suggests, I have a huge amount of weight to lose so I'm in this for the long haul.
Having struggled with my weight for the last 16 or so years, since my early teens, I am hoping that by having this blog, and being completely open and honest, it will help me to stay motivated and focused on the long road ahead.
Apart from the obvious reasons for wanting to lose weight (fitter, happier, healthier etc), the main reason for this lifestyle change is because we are currently trying to conceive our first child. We have been trying for the past 18 months but sadly we have been unsuccessful.
Being 'morbidly obese' or whatever I'm classed as now, I have long irregular cycles which I believe are, at least partly, due to my weight and quite possibly the cause of my infertility.
I know this is not going to be easy, but what better motivation to do this than the thought of having a little baby in my arms in hopefully the not too distant future?
