Easter has been conquered!

Last week was rough.  I stayed OP but my food choices that I made some days weren't as good as they could have been.  Good news is that I lost 3.2lbs at weigh in last night.

I exercised twice last week but it was pathetic.  I rode our new exercise bike for 20 mins one day and then a few days later I rode for 10 mins.  This week I need to start exercising for at least 3 days a week for 20-30  mins each time.  Not sure how that is going to go.

Don't sweat the exercise

Good work so far. I really don't think you should worry too much about the exercise at this point. The small amount of calories you'll burn on the bike really won't impact your weight loss very much. For example, 30 minutes of easy cycling (>10mph) will burn around 370 calories for your current weight. (link to online calculator). That is nothing to be sneezed at, but it's less than the calories in a medium McDonalds French Fries. For me at least it was a lot easier to not eat the fries rather then do the exercise. Weight loss is all about eating less calories than you burn. On a normal day just sitting around your body should burn between about 3300 and 4000 calories (depending on your activity level). That's a lot of calories. If you eat a sensible diet that cuts just 800 calories off that (so around 2500 calories per day) then you've done the equivalent of cycling for 1 hour every single day.

This is not to say that exercise isn't important, it is. But its role is to keep you heart healthy not as a tool of weight loss. Folks trying to lose weight can get discouraged and quit altogether because they are struggling to get their exercise done. Exercise is hard and sometimes physically painful and is only a small part of weight loss. So don't spend too much time worrying about it - focus on food that is where you get by far the biggest bang for your buck. After you've lost 100lbs or so, you'll feel much more inclined to hit the gym.
