Hey, I was at this weight 4 months ago and I've lost 40 so far - another 7 pounds and I'll make my goal, at least the weightwatchers goal set by my doctor. As you keep working on biking, you'll loose more weight, assuming you don't eat more than you are burning off.

It will get easier to go up hills - when I first started out this year. The main hill I ride up going home from work I used to have to stop at least once if not twice and I was doing 6.5 to 7.0 mph up it. Now I don't stop and I can sometimes do 10mph if not a bit more.
