b). Not losing any weight and getting stuck in cycling . . . . because it's murder on the knees to run carrying a lot of weight.
You can start out running when overweight, but I don't think you'll last too long. It's unsustainable, whereas sitting on a saddle spinning your legs at a leisurely pace is a piece of cake by comparison.
