Based on what I've read here in the past, your weight loss may be slow at first, but don't forget you are also building better cardio health, and that makes a big, positive difference in how you feel.
Also, while you may set an overall goal for target weight and/or riding goals...set small intermediate goals and don't beat yourself up if you reach them later than expected. (Of course celebrate reaching them early, on time or late.)
You didn't mention where you are geographically, that makes a huge difference in what kind of suggestions you get regarding bike shops, resources, routes and human support.
Many people have done this...YOU can do this. All you need is the right attitude and some gumption. Check out the Clydesdale/Athena section of the forum and go, Go, GO!
