A newbie start to training

Right now I'm not much to look at. I stand 5'11" 1/2 inches and weigh 218 pounds. I have not done any vigorous training in a few years. I want to get down to a healthy weight like 190 but still keep my strength. So I guess I should not do any lifting until I drop that much weight? What did you do when you first got started? I live in a bad neighborhood so I really cant just jog down the block with a clear mind. I can get a gym membership I guess. All newbie advice will be taken seriously, thanks.

Should I not lift weights until I am down to my goal? Or should I lift light weights while dropping my weight?

im not an expert at any of this, but im pretty sure u can lift weights and loose weight at the same time, but u have to be lifting differently inorder to loose weight.

Read the FAQs of the strength and power forum. If you seriously think lifting weights will be anything but a benefit to your weight loss, you need to smarten up.

i dont see anything wrong with writing "you" as "u" this aint a fucking spelling competition, now spelling "lose" as loose that was just a typo,

Twice?

Think of it this way. I don't know you. None of us on here know you. Our only way of determining what kind of a person you are is by the way you come across through text.

You're a lazy SOB is what I'm picking up. Oh, wait, and you like men.

I guess I'll do a little lifting. I mainly want to get my stamina in top shape (running without stopping) then once I am happy with my fat ratio and stamina I'll get hardcore and start training up from 190 who knows I might get back to 210 or so, that would be a pretty good weight to fight anyone at.
