So I've got a new years resolution to cut down to about 250-260 lbs while building some lean muscle and cardio at the same time. I'm 6'2" 300 as it sits now, and I'm on the chunky side of things. Playing rugby for my last 3 years of high school did help in building some leg muscle, but everything else needs help, especially considering I haven't done any hard cardio since about June.

I'll probably be balancing lifting weights and hitting the elliptical (treadmill is a bit hard on my knees). Problem is, I have no idea how to balance out my workout since I only have time to go two or three times a week. Diet is another linchpin since rice is a meal staple for me (Filipino), and I don't really have the funds for supplements. I can cut back on the rice and adjust for more meat, but how can I keep the hunger to a minimum since I know calorie intake will have to go way down?

Any advice is highly appreciated! I'm hoping to take advantage of my free gym access at BCIT for the next 6 months!
