My wife is fond of pointing out the irony of me reading about losing weight through cycling on my iPad while I am sitting on the couch. I picked up a used trainer for $25 on Letgo. The new bike doesn't seem to fit (the skewer seems too wide) so I may have to get a slick tire for my old mountain bike. I remain determined, I just have to find the time.
You can't out exercise a poor diet. As far as weight loss goes, diet is more important than exercise. Diet AND exercise will get you slim and healthy. I've lost just over 95 pounds since June 2017. I got a job that requires constant heavy lifting and decided if I was going to work that hard I'd make the best of it and get paid to lose weight and get back in shape. . I was 330 pounds when I started. I'm 6'3" tall. I'm down to a little under 235 now....I should lose a little over a 100 pounds by my 1 year anniversary on June 5th. I went on a high protein diet counting my macros(and calories but not too strictly) and eating nutrient dense(not calorie dense) foods. With high protein I feel full and satiated all the time as long as I'm meeting my protein macro goal for the day. This article really laid things out for me and the information and advice is solid:
