I'm 65 and still about 20 lbs over what I'd like to weigh. It took me about 3 weeks of riding for about an hour several times a week to begin losing. I'm down 15 lbs at this point. I've worked up to 2 hour rides about 4 times a week and then on the alternate days I kayak. We also walk our dogs in the afternoon at a leisurely pace for about 45 minutes.

It's much harder than it used to be!

My diet has changed to all whole foods and traditional preparation as described by Weston Price. It's definitely not low fat and I avoid refined/processed "food".
