Very Overweight woman saying hello

[Red Rock]

Hi everyone. I am very overweight ( not gonna say how much lol) but trust me, I could do with losing 7 stones. and I bought an Electra Townie 3 Light 6061. The tyres are 2.1-2.3 width. I had done my research and it seemed that this bike would be OK to support my weight. I am disabled so all other exercise is out of the question. I really want to get started with my cycling to help with my weight loss.
(Mod Edit: technical request deleted and left in other thread.)
Thanks in advance everyone.
