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.

Exactly right. U may run hor hours and kill the effort by a little extra snack. The only way to lose weight is to consistenly consume less kkal than u need. If u’r not eating enough to let ur muscles grow (the more muscles the more energy ur body needs the more kalories u need) u may not even bother.
