Update so far

So I'm almost 40, and being vastly over weight the chances to living to 50 are quite low.    My problem is that I could lose half a stone a month,  but if I did,  without any slip ups,  I would still be considered over weight in 2 years.
In the last 3 months of deciding on a life change,  I have joined a gym,  and eaten better,  and have lost about 2 stone in weight.
I'm not sure where the 2 Stone has been lost from as its not my waist as my trousers are still the same size,  although my watch now uses a lower notch on it so only real noticeable place is my wrist,  or and sounds daft but my shoes are a little looser.
So I have been going to the gym, which the though of scared me a little,  because I imagined them with loads of fit people just staring,  the daft thing is I never imagined them with people just like me,  wanting to lose weight or fix there body's in some way,  only difference is,  I'm just a little bigger than the rest.
I have been referred for surgery options as well, and the main aim of this blog is to talk my way though the whole thing from being overweight and probably on verge of death to being somewhere near healthy.
