    Use the calculator to find out what you should be eating at, stay under calories,get some exercise. We're all different litte snowflakes. :grin:

    Enter your profile into MFP. Eat to the calorie goal set by it and adjust goal as necessary.

    Sounds to me like you have bits and pieces of the puzzle but have not put them all together yet.

    This is a great read and lays out all the essentials for you.

    Just find something you like to do.

    Cardio is the optimal way to lose weight, but you'll lose muscle mass if you don't keep up at least some strength training. Plus, more muscle mass = more calories burned at rest.

    Also, your post is very vague, so I'd say to do cardio 3x a week strength 2x a week, rest on the 7th. Or just do both cardio and strength 2x a week, and rest twice a week.

    So far as strength goes, focus on compound exercises for now (squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, rows, etc) and variations of them. This will help you target multiple muscle groups in one exercise for a shorter time in the gym. Can't really say anything about weight/reps without knowing if you have any strength goals down the line.

    Cardio is your own choice. You like to run? Run. You like swimming? Go swim. You like kick boxing? Go kick boxing (or find a tae bo video or whatever). You like zumba? Go do zumba. You get the point. Long as you keep moving, your fine.
