Depends on you and how bad you want to lose it.

I was badly overweight when I bought my Bionicon Edison Ltd II in September of 2007. I spent almost the whole month shuttling it up at Mammoth when I wasn't doing construction before the snow flew. Got back down to the Valley (OMG! Totally Awesome, gag me with a toenail) and found OTBMBC was local to me... I had no idea how hardcore they were when I started riding with the crew. 2 or 3 rides a week, starting in October, and I went from 255#'s to 230 in five weeks.

Holidays and the flu kind of screwed up my riding, but I've been riding alot more, maybe 4 -6 times a week since the week before Keyesville, and my weight loss started up again, I'm bouncing around 210 to 217#, depending on how hard I ride each week. Climb vertical, and you'll lose weight fast, minimum 1500 feet per ride, up to 3 or 4000 when you can build up to it. The San Gabes are my weight loss program!

Every time I was straining climbing, pulling all that blubber up hill, sweating, muscles in pain and cussing was a reminder at meal time to eat small or, especially before a ride, not at all. If you ride with no food in you, a at a pace where you don't bonk, there is nothing but fat reserves to fuel your ride and burn. Reward your workout ride with a small portion of carbs and protein. No soda, no french fries, eat greens or fruits, no dressings, no cooking, and little to none for any type of dairy product. Throw a fat loaded or carb loaded meal in 1x per week to mix your metabolism up, and ride regularly, and fat will melt off you with each ride. You will plateau on weight loss... it is then that you have to shake up your routine. I started some jump roping then, then tried to double up on my elevation climbed per week. Something cracked the code, and it's coming off of me again, the weight.

The best thing about weight loss is how much easier it is for you to climb while riding, not carrying dead weight up hill makes it that much easier to pull a taller gear.
