Super Clydes 400 lbs back in the saddle after 40 yrs and saddle question?

Hey everyone,

I got back into cycling about two months ago with a recumbent trike, I couldn't keep up with the wife on her bike so I found a used mountain bike with heavy frame and nice wheels. I've rode it about 4 miles so far on two times out and its killing my rear. It has the stock seat and feels ok for about 1/2 mile then I get a pinching feeling. I've searched the forums about saddles and some are older post and no longer around. I seen the one about Brooks saddles but don't want to have a lot of money in then need to replace when I lose weight. What are some current good saddles for my needs and under 100 USD. I did just order a Thomson seatpost as well, being afraid I may break the stock one. Oh and as for the wife leaving me behind, I have the lead so far.
