Do you think these bikes are alright for an overweight person?

Okay first of all I don't want to hear any comments about how I am a fatass and whatnot. Yes, I am aware I am obese but guess what? I'm deciding to do something about it. Anyway, so I've decided that on top of eating better I would start riding a bike to work since I only live about three miles away instead of driving. Okay, so I am about 5'8" and weigh about 280. I was thinking a mountain bike would be the best choice, since people usually have excess weight when riding those will all the things they carry around but if you have better ideas I am all ears. Anyway I was looking at these two particular bikes:

(this one I really like)
Do you think this would last me? I would be riding this everyday, but mind you my weight would only be going down and not up.

Which of these two would you recommend. If you have links to other bikes too I would appreciate it. I can't afford anything over two hundred though sadly.
Oh and I also like this bike too
