I need a weight/lifting 101 course please! Not really a course, but where and now to get started. Should I wait until I am close to my goal weight and stick with the majority cardio with some weights(dumbbells and using my own body weight)? Advice, tips etc please! Thank you in advance! :)

    I'd check out bodybuilding.com I've pulled a few workouts form there that I love. As for when in your weight loss goals you should start. Not sure, there are conflicting ideas on that here. But I personally see better weight loss results when I lift. Hope this helps and good luck.

    Start with a fullbody, use compund movements. Keep it simple in the beginning: squat,bench press, deadlift, military press and you're set.
