Forget the gym, start a running program, start out in a light jog and not a real long distance, as you get healthier start to increase your speed and your distance. Switch to a light vegetarian diet. Drink only water.

Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.
Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.
Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.
An average person must walk about five miles every day of the week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking five miles a day or doing that amount of exercise is for you, focus your fat loss program on diet.
Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.
If you want to use your gym, use it for high intensity strength training (ST) and build muscle. You’ll get many more benefits from ST than from aerobics (running, etc.) Here they are.
• Stronger bones & increased mineral density (osteoporosis protection)
• Stronger body & musculature (improved protection from injury)
• More robust organic and systemic fitness (more survivable in crisis)
• Improved cardio-vascular function (better than “cardio”)
• Higher basal metabolic rate (~5-50 cal/day/pound of muscle)
• Easier fat loss (more efficient lipid consumption)
• Body sculpting (spot hypertrophy)
• Slows natural loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) over age 30
• Minimal wear & tear
Build your gym fitness program about ST. Then get your aerobics doing fun things you enjoy. Examples are dancing, swimming, walking, hiking, biking, sports, etc. Everything you do is aerobic unless it results in muscular failure from fatigue in a few minuters.
Whatever you do, don’t just gring away mindlessly on treadmills, stationary bikes, or ellipticals because you think they’re going to magically make you lose fat. That a huge waste of time, a burden your joints don’t need, and you’ll burn precious few calories in the process.
Good luck and good health!!
