Trying to lose weight myself- Exercising on a bike

I've had one doctor ever since I was born but now he's around 80 or so years old so I've got a new doctor and she put me on high blood pressure medication and told me I had to lose weight. In my family, high blood pressure runs in my family, and is what killed my grandfather (massive heart attack) and my dad (stroke/diabetes). So now I've been trying to eat with less salt and every other day I've been working 20-25 minutes on a stationary bike I've had since about 15 years ago I got due to anxiety attacks.

It's like one of these with a calorie and speed meter:

Now it's more of trying to lose some blubber around my gut as it hung over. I've also ditched the donuts and those Little Debbies (I've acquired a dislike for them ever since).

When I start feeling cold, then I know I'm losing weight. I sometimes think while on the bike, I'm like a certain anime character that's training in a spacecraft training for a big fight.

here's hoping you are better at it than I am. We have one of those recumbent bikes that makes working out super easy. You can even play video games or read comic books while you exercise and I still can't properly motivate myself to get on the damned thing. And I need to.

 

Sending you all of my positive exercise energy!

I found out that a recumbent bike was harder for me to use than a regular one. For me, eating 3 times a day is doing most of the weight loss magic. I'm still only riding my exercise bike for 2 minutes a day and that seems to be all I need to lose a pound by the next day.

For my initial weight loss I did a low-carb diet. Some people think that means "all the meat and cheese you can eat", but it's not. What you really do is change your meals so that instead of them being meat, carb, lc-veggie you have meat, lc-veggie1 and lc-veggie2. (lc being low carb :))

 

My doctor didn't think that would work, but after doing so my cholesterol meds went away and my blood pressure meds were reduced in dosage.

 

Now that I have that treadmill desk I've increased the amount of carbs in my diet without any weight gain. I typically stay around 165, though I did just return from a 2 week vacation and am up to 173. I'm not concerned though as those 8 pounds will drop off rather quickly once I return to my usual routine of walking 10 miles per workday.

An indoor exercise bike workout is one of the best ways to lose weight. You will begin to burn calories immediately, but it's important to plan your workouts so you can maximize your long-term weight loss. You will lose weight faster if you bicycle more intensely, but you should start slow and ramp up your workouts as your physical fitness improves.

 

According to "Self" magazine, a 150-pound person burns 393 calories in an hour when riding a stationary bike at a light intensity. If that pace is stepped up to a moderate pace, that person burns 500 calories in an hour. If that person pushes the pace up to vigorous, she'll scorch 786 calories in an hour. When riding a stationary bike, you use the muscles attached to your tibia and femur to power the bike. The main muscles worked include your quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles.

From my own experience, I know how hard it is to get rid of extra pounds and I have had this problem for a long time.  
Ever since school I always had this complex and I always felt that people looked at me badly and judged me because I was a little fatter.  
After that, I started doing sports and I made radical changes in my diet so that I started to see beautiful changes.  
How much I wouldn't have worked, I couldn't get the results I wanted anyway, so I started ordering from https://sarmguide.com/cardarine-gw-50156/ and that made my life easier.  
After I started consuming in small doses, agreed with the doctor, I saw amazing effects and I'm really glad I succeeded.
