Fruit is high in sugar! An apple is around 10% sugar by weight, that's the same as a can of coke and bananas are twice that.
I lost two stones after Achilles tendon surgery but exercise is only a small part of that. It's my diet and nutrition that keeps my weight down and allows me to exercise.
I'd really advise you to try some Yoga to improve strength and flexibility along with your exercise.
Haven't thought about yoga before, I think there may be some classes on at the local gym.
Should I bother eating breakfast if its a morning workout?
I know some train on an empty stomach in the morning.
Anything I should do in particular post-session?
It's too steep a programme to walk into and it will demotivate
Admittedly I'm already a larger gentleman, but I lost 2 stone this summer simply by eating right and going about my daily business. Diet should be your first port of call, then excercise.
Did treadmill, cross trainer and bike, HIIT so 40 seconds fast 20 secs slow, in 5 x reps.
Feels good to be back exercising so I sweat. Planning to go again this week to kinda repeat it and maybe add weights and going to book another 10 sessions with the same trainer.
@fuengi yoga is the way forwards, I've done a few yoga youtubes at home just need to get into a habit of some basic yoga each day to preserve the little flexibility I have left.
Welcome back to the gym my man.
You want to lose fat quickly, the best way to do it is full body exercises. Multiple muscle groups, and big muscles (arse, back, legs, chest).
Forget cardio, this sort of stuff is much more time efficient:

Regardless of what you do in the gym, about 80% of weight loss effect comes from your diet. If you don't sort that out, you will see very little benefit, no matter what you do in the gym.
On workouts - honestly, over the last 35 years I have regularly gone to the gym and tried most things over the years, from endurance to muscle mass building, to lean burning, you name it. The most effective and rapid results fat burning stuff I've done is a 3 times a week 30 minute set of full body exercises. Rips fat right off.
One thing I'd say above all - drop the cardio stuff, a waste of time.
My current regime is 3 x 40 mins sessions of circuits with dumbells, and 2 sessions a week of boxing (12 rounds on the bag mostly). Body fat nice and low, and constant.
Mens Health is a great place to get some good exercise plans, just search fat loss or similar on their website. Their twitter feed is good for stuff too.
I'd aim to start with maybe 2 sessions a week, and take your time. Then up it to 3, then see how you go. You don't need to spend every hour in the gym to get results, seriously.
His abs look weird.
Maybe wouldn't say that to his face.
Diet wise I'm cutting out cheese, bread and pasta, today I had grilled chicken breast with a lot of vegetables. Planning to do 2 x sessions a week (have booked with a trainer and seeing him once a week) and then will try to up it to 3.
Most important thing is to eat a diet that is healthy and sustainable.
My diet is pretty okay. But biscuits and beer are my two weaknesses.
