Hello IrishScot and welcome to the forum!

Good to see that you have a fitness buddy in your wife so you can both motivate each other. Also, I like your plan of getting the kids involved, too. One of the things that helped me lose weight was doing more physical activity with my children.

I am 5' 11" and started getting serious about fitness at 223 pounds...so pretty close to your stats. I dropped 24 pounds in 4 months simply by walking, cutting out sugar soft drinks and decreasing my portion sizes just a little. Its the little things that add up.
