I want to lose weight and then tone up, gaining some muscle but mostly getting stamina and losing damned fat from being lazy, drinking too much from last two years, and a bunch of other excuses.

I have quit the drinking and am walking at least a mile every other day with my doggo, but I also have this home gym I have been seriously neglecting.

Questions: Can the home weight machine be effective enough to warrant keeping or should I sell/ trade for something else? Are there suggestions on a routine out there someone has done and been successful? YT shows some good info, but is more "how do you lateral press on a machine". I also want to get a stationary bike so I can cardio while working at home.

Also, the machine looks very similar to this: https://poal.co/static/images/SqgvDJ.jpeg

Yes, you can craft a well rounded resistance regimen with that equipment. You can also achieve good results with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, macebells, resistance bands, sandbags, cinder blocks, big rocks or body weight. The point being, sustained discipline and consistency coupled with a whole food diet are the keys to the kingdom.
