    Welcome aboard.

    Losing weight & gaining muscle aren't likely to happen at the same time, because they require very different
    nutrition & exercise. You can _maintain_ the muscle you currently have while losing weight, then once you're at
    a healthy weight switch to eating at a slight caloric surplus (with lots of protein) & increase your weightlifting to
    increase muscle.

    Here's sexypants, which is a classic 'start here' post, written by one of MFP's superstars: SideSteel.

    And a newbie help post I did which compiles links to various useful info.
