Your weight loss, just as it was to your weight gain, is predominately the product of your diet. That should be the true focus and the foundation behind any weight loss.
In many, many cases it IS the riding. Though it can have a catalytic action for most people ANYTHING would be exercise and lead to a healthier and lighter body. We had this one guy that rode with us that started out at 250 lbs. He was big and not fat as you would mean fat. He played and even taught tennis and was pretty good at it. After he started riding with us his weight came down to about 200 lbs. It stayed at about that level which I would estimate to be a healthy level for his body type. Too bad he got a different job which absorbs most of his daylight time. He's now back up to 250 even though he is still playing tennis and teaching it.
