Appreciate all of the advice
I was a wrestler in high school and stayed involved through college and up until ~5 years ago when life started interfering. Through the fitness foundation I built there and 4-5 days a week weight training, I had been able to stay in great shape without any cardio.
In 2013 my metabolism cut in half and I had shoulder surgery. The combination of those two and constantly entertaining for work is what caused me to go from 160 to 180 (5'6"). Getting back into shape with the metabolism of an adult (32) and not a 20 something is really making me regret letting myself go.
On a side note, I've signed up for the Super Spartan race in Austin on 5/17. It's an 8 mile obstacle race. If anyone is interested maybe we can start Team PuttaDaForkDown or post training regimens we are trying

Basically starting with what Hulk said, eat less than you burn. It took me a few years to figure out what works best for me and my body.
As far as diet, I eat a ton of chicken breast, Tuna, and Salmon. Lots of lean proteins. Figure out your lean body mass and try to at least a gram of protein per pound of that. It'll be tough, but if you do it while staying clean. You'll drop weight. Very little carbs ie: no rice, noodles, beer, and the what not. And eat a ton of greens.
If you have a sweet tooth, Quest bars are a great substitute. Cookie dough flavor
Or I usually take plain greek yogurt and mix in a half scoop or so of protein powder.
There are a ton of great recipe sites out there. I used these 3 the most:
www.epicurreanbb.com
www.rippedrecipes.com
and search for the Protein Chef on Youtube. He's got some good stuff too.
I lift pretty much everyday. Heavy and hard. Very very little cardio considering it's basically a cardio workout while I lift. I try to get one good run in a week but it doesn't always happen.
Just test out some things and see how your body reacts.
Good luck

Be glad you're doing this now and not later. I'm 6'2 but regardless of height, 360 pounds is a fat frick.
It sure has been a learning experience. Good to have you on board
