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.

The ap you’re using to count burned calories is bullshit.
It’s an estimated counter that just ticks calories per minute based on the activity you choose. Don’t take it seriously.

Eat well, eat light and exercise. Get rid of the stupid app. It’s just tracking you and selling your data anyway.
You’ll be fine.
