We are Deirdre and John, a couple in ourmid-thirties(well, one of us is still in his mid-thirties...). Our combined weight is 262 kilos - more than a quarter of a metric tonne. Scary! Even scarier - we're both at the 'morbidly obese' end of the scale.
Scarier still, John has cardiomyopathy, a heart condition which was not caused by his weight but which is made a lot worse by it.
Our lightbulb moment came when John nearly died from a simple dose of flu, which wouldn't have happened if he had taken better care of himself.
We've just embarked on what will be a long weight-loss journey for both of us. This blog is to help us feel more accountable for our efforts.
