I would have liked some weight difference too. There are a few who've lost quite a bit and kept it off cycling but where are the women riding and flourishing with an extra pound or two?
Right here with an extra forty or so pounds. Cycling for two years and still plus-sized. I feel discriminated against, also. Not feeling welcome in groups...the sideways glances...a few remarks on cause rides...the inability to find pretty and functional clothes, much less clothes that actually are cycling clothes that I can squeeze into.

I was very glad to see a couple of women there who look like they weigh more than 100 pounds. Somewhere along the line I was "sold" the idea that if I started cycling, I wouldn't be fat for very long. It didn't work and I feel somewhat militant about the fact that heavier people can be in excellent shape.

Sorry...I'm new here and don't mean to hijack y'all's topic.
