Is weightloss possible from riding alone?

[DebTX]

I've wondered if, when it is difficult for some women to drop weight is it because they've just started an activity after many years of inactivity as opposed to years of having exercise or some form of athletic activity during every season as a lifestyle..

I think you're on to something. I definitely think those of us who've led sedentary lives have a very different metabolism than folks who've always been active.

Same thing with training - I think my body is far slower to adapt, than say my husband, who's been athletic all his life. We both learned to ride at the same time, but he's now a relative speed demon while I still gasp for air at the top of hills.

I saw this thread days ago, but now when I see the title I keep reading it as:

Is weightlessness possible...?

Is it my vision that's deteriorating or my mind?
