Way to go girl!!!
Those shorts are great. The first time I wore a pair, it felt like Iwas wearing a diaper, but you'll feel great in them as you ride. Make sure you go comando, don't wear underwear, been there;done that, won't do it again!!!
I love Cannondale shorts, very comfy and durable. My most expensive pair of Cannondales was only $59.
Don't fear commando, nothing worse than chafing from panty seams. Some people do wear undies but not me, you get over it REAL quick.

Congrats on the 55lbs and the new biking shorts. You have invested in yourself and the rewards are going to pay off!
Thanks everyone - your encouragement means alot! I will let you know how the shorts feel after some rides. I wore them around the house a bit last night just to get used to the feel. They are quite comfortable although the chamois does take some getting used to. My DH said I could wear them all the time - he would’t mind! I guess he is getting tired of seeing me in my old worn out tshirts and jeans that are now quite baggy!

WOW! 55 lbs is a LOT of weight. Congratulations... you must feel great.
Just wear the shorts-- don't worry what they look like. Who cares? You are on the bike and riding and are comfy -- THAT is what matters! ENJOY and WELCOME.
