I have to get ready to head off to work but I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the many replies and words of encouragment !!!

This is just wonderful and gives me the feeling that YES - I can do this. Just because I am overweight - life doesn't have to end. This is the beginning of a fresh new chapter of my life !!!!

I am so excited - it will probably take me weeks to get my bike for several reasons - $$$$ and decision making to get the right one but I know I am on the right track now.

Your information has been incredible - I didn't know where to start !

Thank you so much !
Nancy
