• A bar
• Personal trainer (optional)

1. Start weight training to lose weight by doing the essentials.
   
   Get started by doing these essential weight lifting exercises 10 minutes a day. Each, not total.
   
   -- Shoulder flys
   -- Bicep curls
   -- Waist bends
   -- Leg lifts
   -- Hamstring lifts
   
   Light weights, and you should be able to get up to 3 sets of 12. Be sure to keep a notebook.
2. Weight training to lose weight will leave you more hungry. Eat well.
   
   Dedicate yourself to an 18 week program of weight training to lose weight. During this time, try to shore up your diet as much as possible.
   
   This isn't a diet article, but diet is absolutely essential. Weight lifting will naturally make you more hungry, because muscles need food. Your metabolism will also naturally increase (very good thing). Fill it with light proteins (chicken, eggs, nuts), and not crud food.

   Weight training to lose weight also means changing your lifestyle a little. Keep your cardio up by opening doors instead of using the automatic; using the stairs instead of electric/mechanical transport.
