Hi everyone. I just began my weight loss journey and I need help on how to begin working out at the gym. I do about 30 min of cardio/ the stepper machine but after that I don’t know what I should do. I am not afraid of weights, so I can give them a shot. I guess my question is, would cardio 30 daily and set or arms or legs day by day be a good workout regime for me to loose weight? Thanks in advance and any advice is helpful !

To lose weight, you have to eat in a consistent calorie deficit. Exercise is optional, but good for you.1

Does your gym have anyone to help explain any other equipment?
Do they have any classes? I always like the classes, because I could follow along, vs 'figuring out my own thing'.
I'm at very low weights, but it's better than none. Don't be afraid of them! Start slow and keep moving forward.0 -
It can all be very overwhelming, and trying to do it all at once is a recipe for failure.
I suggest logging for a while, even before making any serious changes to your diet.
Weigh (with a scale is best) everything you eat, and write why you are eating it (i.e, lunchtime, hungry, kind of bored, out with friends, watching tv) and how you are feeling right before, right after and an hour after (hungry, comfortable, normal, full, very full bloated, drowsy).
This gives you a baseline pattern for your normal habits and routine. From there, it's just a matter of experimenting. Are you very full after dinner? Cut back on a few things. Does lunch leave you bloated and gassy after an hour, try less or no mayo, and see if there's something you don't mind dropping each meal (fries, or cheese, or maybe only 2 tacos instead of 3).It's amazing how quickly these small and easily sustainable changes will add up to big calorie cuts. Only cut one or two things at a time, until they become habit instead if trying to do everything at once. That way they become individual habits instead of one big "diet". So when you backslide you won't drop everything at once, just one or two habits, that you can fix again more easily.

I am beginning today and one thing I do is log what I am eating for the whole day and stick to the menu. Water, exercise and menu of food. Lets get it in and stick to it. Takes 21 days to make a good habit. Today Day One lets go.
