Late to this - but I got my bike back in December and as someone who's struggled with weight singe college, it's really been life changing to workout in a way where I don't feel judged for my appearance.

I started out on the advanced beginner/low impacts with Christine and Hannah and now (12 weeks and almost 200 rides later), I'm starting to take "normal" rides and hit the cadence/resistance calls and it feels so wonderful. I've lost maybe ~10 pounds and gained a couple pounds of muscle. For perspective, my first 20 minute ride, I did had an output of 48 and now I easily get over 100. I get a little teary when I think about how much it's changed my life.

(Oh I swapped out the bike seat after about 5 days in for this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MF8TO1P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 and have had no pain since!)
