How to Diet Down NOW

So, I’m gonna start working out this Monday (today’s Saturday), I plan on doing alot of cardio and Weights, I also plan on getting an exercise bike soon.

So, I’m 17
5′6"
268 lbs

Let’s say I jump on the bike for 1 hour, than switch to weights for about 30 minutes, than go onto more cardio ( Skip rope, Push ups etc) another 30 minutes, If I did this for say 5 days out of the week, for, atleast 6-8 months, would I see any weight loss?, my eating habits have gotten alot better, more healthier, no more chips and pop, lately its been salads and water, which has been great, I still plan on making a diet plan for my workouts too, So, this weekend is basically coming up with my workout routine and Diet, help?

oh yeah, please no "try these new diet pills" crap, or " i lost 10 lbs in 10 mins and alls i did was fart!"

Thanks in advance

I’m 16 years old and I am a major athlete, including being a Varsity Wrestler (So I know a lot about weight loss b/c of wrestling), and from the information you have listed I can recommend the following for you:

-Since you are just beginning working out your regime may be too intense, I would say you should do the bike for an hour as you said (lightly), lift weights for about 45 minutes (use weights where your repetition abilities do not surpass nine, and do at least 3 sets of each work out you plan for), but do not do calisthenics- it may be too tough for you to do at this phase.

-Walk every day for an hour(+), either before or after a work out, and do not lift weights every day// your body must take 48 hours to rebuild and recooperate. Your monthly weight lifting schedule should be every other day and look somewhat like the following: M W F/ Su Tu Th/ Sa/ M W F/ Su Tu Th/ Sa/…and so on.

-If you stay dedicated, work out properly, and eat the proper nutrients, you will eventually find that you have cut down a significant- yet healthy amount of weight.

- (also I recomend a 2200-2700 calorie p/d system if you work out as much I have recommended- and if you eat fast food limit it to one meal p/w, and keep the amount of artificial sugar {such as candy} you eat severly limited. Eat a lot of fruit, vegitables, and protein// I recommend baked chicken as a meat source, it a wreslter’s best friend for pleasure & pluck in the food category.)

-YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO CONSULT A PERSONAL TRAINER.
