I had done some cardio and strength training today. I am completely sore. I spent 30 minutes on the spin bike plus I did an hour of strength training. I hope that by doing this I can eventually increase the amount of weights I use.
298.0 lb Lost so far: 49.8 lb.    Still to go: 138.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
steady weight

You will! Maybe you already know this, but… If you want to gain strength and do more weight don’t do too much cardio. 30 min twice per week max. If you do weights at a fast pace it can be cardio as well. Too much other cardio can reduce the strength gains. Use light weights for a few weeks. Don’t try to go too heavy. Keep rest time to 1-2 minutes between sets. 2-3 min between exercises. Try to do 10-15 reps per exercise in the beginning. But, stop when you think you still have “one Rep left in the tank”. 1 hour of that burns about as much as 30 min of cardio depending on the exertion level in your cardio routine. Here are some great FBWO that I started using getting back into the weights if you want to try one. You can modify as needed of course. I did 8 weeks of this one to get back into it. https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/muscle-strength-full-body-workout-routine Here are others: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/start-from-scratch-beginner-workout
