I'm trying to get down to 240 over the next year or so to have a surgery. I go 2 times out the week due to pain while I work during the week and want to eventually be able to do 3 days or more. I've been working out for 2 months so far now and was wondering if this is enough to get me started/see progress in the direction I want to head towards. I don't count calories atm but try to be mindful of what I eat, how much, and if I'm actually am hungry or not. I plan to see a nutritionist/dietician soon to help see more results over the long run.
I'll post the routine below:

@salbadinhduong It’s better than not working out at all, but not as good as a routine made by someone who knows what they’re doing. There are many to choose from in the r/fitness wiki.

The bigger piece here for weight loss is your diet. Going to a nutrition coach or dietician is a good idea.
