Trying to lose weight and putting it in numbers is demoralizing. I’ve started riding a stationary bike for 5 miles and then doing minor weight lifting after and I maaaaybe lose 200 or so calories. Is that not a good exercise? I’ve been doing this almost everyday starting 2 weeks ago. But it’s starting to feel useless if it’s such a minor amount of calories burnt. Is this a good trend to continue? What am I missing?
Edit: everyone here has been incredibly helpful, and surprisingly consistent with one another. I feel much more confident about what I’m doing and what I need to do. Seriously, thank you all.

As a lot of people already said :
You cannot out train a bad diet .
Working out is to improve your physical capabilities and feel better in your body not to loose weight.
If you bike 5 miles the objective should be to be able to do a 10mile climb by 6 months for example not to loose x amount of weight
