Good

. Steroids would screw you six ways from Sunday at 15.

Weight loss is largely diet related not weights related. It should go roughly like this.

1. Diet.

2. Weights.

3. Cardio

People doing Weights and eating poorly, would be almost certainly be less likely to lose weight, than sedentary people with good quality eating habits.

For now I'd take it stage by stage. Post diet, and let us see what's what.

After a week of getting diet into gear, and used to it, then add in weights and get used to that, then after a week of weights, move onto adding a little Cardio too, and by the end of 3 weeks, you should be pretty good at implementing all 3, in the course of a "new" average week Smile

Wait before you start lifting weights. You should start watching your diet by eating low carb foods and doing cardio. Cardio will make you lose calories. Try rope jumping, jogging (walking if you can't), swimming, biking or stationary biking. When you weight like 200 lbs. you can start lifting weights.

I'd agree, and the fact someone is 280lbs, doesn't mean they should ignore weights until they are 200lbs.

As Weights, Diet and Cardio represent prime weight loss factors in their own way, to implement them in the right ways from day one, or as suggested add one in per week, until they're all working symbiotically in the persons life after 1 month, would be more beneficial, than restricting one of the 3 for the future.

If the person does Cardio alone with diet, they risk having to do too much in say 5 days from 7, or doing 3 sessions a week max, leaving 4 days a week of sedentary activity, which won't be as productive in my opnion.

Of course conservative is key. This person can't just do 30 minutes ass kicking Cardio 3 x a week, as their Cardiovascular system needs adapting, same with Weightlifting. Too much too soon is bad.
