Hi, this is my first post. I've been reading for a while and have decided to jump in.

I have about 40 pounds to lose, and would love some suggestions on what sort of training plan will help me shift the weight. I bought a bike about 3 months ago, but have yet to become consistent with my riding. Longest ride so far has been about 40 miles. I can't seem to find any plans on line.

I really struggle uphills I guess because I have all this extra weight. I ride with my husband sometimes but he is much faster than me. I average about 13mph, while he is a 19-20mph kind of guy.

I guess I am looking for advice on weight loss, and getting faster!

Thanks,

MM
