Need to lose weight help - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Right, I am 27 years old, 21.8 stone and 5'8", Doctors measured my BMI as 45.7, Due to these factors i have decided to join the gym, I want to go at off peak times as i am very concious of my body at the moment so below is the regime i am going to start with..

MONDAY
Gym at 7:30am (morning is a good time to excersize)
an hour of Cardio split between the cycle machines and the running machine

WEDNESDAY
Gym at 7:30
20mins Cadrio (warm up)
40Min weights (Only heavy enough to do 3 sets of 15, I will do all muscle groups, not sure what weight to use yet)

FRIDAY
Gym at 7:30
Same as monday

I will also be playing some badminton during the week with the guys from work, When i get my confidence up and start to tone up i will have a wider time for me to go.

My initial Goal is to lose body fat without reducing muscle bulk and also increasing muscle stamina as i have the strenghth but not the stamina, Eventually i will want to start to build muscle.

will this be suitable for me?

Also i am seeing a dietician next week to help me with that side.

Thanks

Hit the weights twice a week, go heavy (it will help preserve muscle while dieting) and do weights before cardio.

Other than that, it's the diet that will make or break you. Make sure you're eating enough protein and consider timed carb dieting.

If you are going to the gym that is a very good place to start.
Big is correct getting some resistance training will help you hit your goals of strength, stamina, fat loss.
Fat loss can happen up to 3 days following resistance training.

The dietician is a good idea.
Id like to see the diet they put you on if you dont mind.
Not that I would change anything but I like to look at diets.
