For all you seasoned lifters I was wondering if my routine is good to start off with. I have a lot to lose still so I have decided to ease back into exercise doing what I enjoy (weight lifting) and adding more of what I really don't enjoy (cardio) with time. I am hoping that lifting will help me to lose some inches. at this time I only have about 40-45 minutes to do weights day...

    I stopped reading at day 1. A split routine with lots of isolation exercises and redundancy is the wrong approach. I'd go a full-body routine done every 2-3 days, or an upper/lower split. Either way, prioritize compound lifts. It's best to follow an established program (NROL, Stronglifts, Skinny *kitten* 3, etc) instead of creating your own.
