Try the following : do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.
Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read fitness magazines, like Shape and Fitness for motivation and tips.
Good luck and stick at it.

I recently decided to lose weight... i stopped eating all candy, chocolate, soda, and anything with high sugar, low nutrition. I got some "slim fast" type drinks from costco and sams club for breakfast, then i started eating alot of chicken. If you have to eat fast food i usually do wendy's and their 5 pc chicken nuggets because of good protien. I also added in some running and walking and going to the gym, however my workouts weren't super serious... usually just a mile or so running a couple times a week and at the gym i usually focused upper body for 45 minutes to an hour two or three times a week.
I'm down from 288 to 240.. and i can still do 60 pushups and bench about 255 pounds... I started my diet july 1st (so s little over 2 months). Also when i started my diet i was only benching 230.. so i gained strength and lost wieght.
BIGGEST THING IS THE SCALE... don't look at one. i told myself i WOULD NOT LOOK at one untill i was POSITIVE i was below XXX point.. i looked for the first time last week and was glad to be where i hoped to be.

They are one way but not necessarily the best way to lose weight. Burning more calories than you consume is the best way.
Try this free website where you can track your calories eaten and burned through exercise and also get support from chat boards with other members called http://www.sparkpeople.com
It's an excellent resource, full of good tips, tools and advice and even shows demonstrations of proper exercise and strength training techniques and it really got me motivated after years of demotivation. I don't what it was about this site, but I've been exercising nearly everyday since I started it.
I've lost 10 lbs so far, been on it for 2.5 weeks!

2 easy steps will help
1. Exercise raises your metabolism and therefore helps control your weight.
2. Eating more often in smaller amounts helps increase your metabolism.
if you’re consistent with daily activity and eating frequent small meals you’ll see dramatic weight loss results in a just few weeks!
