Where to start in the gym? Best way to see results for a newbie?!?

[?? Kitty ??]

I've just joined the gym... It has a gym/swimming pool/classes etc. But I will not go to classes, the gym is a big enough step.

I used to be a member of a gym years ago, but I was naturally underweight so never took it too seriously.

So I don't know where to start! I'm looking to lose fat & tone up as efficiently as possible :]

I can't afford a personal trainer or anything, I've spent all the money on this lol.

So can anyone give me some tips on where to start? What I should be doing? What will give me the quickest & most effective results without me losing my life to the place? How can I stay motivated?

I'm looking to go 3 times a week to start with + yoga at home twice a week.

I'm 5ft10, 220lbs, size 18UK, I'm looking to lose around 60lbs.

I'm already strict with my diet, I was doing Slimming World but I find it hard to work with so I have gone back to calorie counting (1,200 per day around 90% healthy & good with some treats at weekends)

How long til I see results? Realistically how quickly can I lose the weight? I already lose 1-2lbs per week on a diet alone so will exercise mean I lose more?! :/

Thanks

Jump onto an eliptical machine and do an uphill or a gluteal preprogrammed workout and up the resistance until it really burns. Don't worry about going fast, but about really working your thighs and your butt. These are the largest muscles in your body, by building them up, you will see the best and fastest results.
