Basically I'm planning on joining the gym in the next week or two now i've saved up a bit for a membership 
The plan is to lose some chunk without losing muscle size.
I'm 16.5st  and about 6'2" but i don't really pay much attention to the scales because muscle weighs more than fat, it's the mirror that tells the true story I've been doing some free weights, press ups, sit ups and dips at home for the past month to get back into it as well.
I'll probably be going at least 3 times a week to make it worthwhile paying for the membership but i have no idea what sort of things i should be doing while i'm down there.
I've also got some Maximuscle Promax Diet which i've used before, but it's a tad expensive to be using regularly so i'm after your opinions on what would be best for me to take and when i should be taking it?
Any help is appreciated!

I read that maximuscle stuff is a bit shit and just full of rubbish... I use whey protein atm, helps with recovery etc, and I'm looking to do. The same thing as you. The diet is the main main thing buddy, get that nailed and you'll be alright. Do the weights first, try and only leave around 30-45 seconds between sets. I'd presume the maximuscle stuff is to be taken on the morning or pre workout? I've lost around 5.5 stone in the last year with just a good diet and the gym so I don't really rate diet powders unless your talking about epherdrines of eca stacks, I've never taken either but heard they can really help.

Much better brands out there than Maximuscle.
All depends on what you want to achieve and how much you want to spend.
It's an expensive lifestyle, with food and supplements.
Sure you dont need supps, a solid diet will do just fine. You have to lay the foundation with a good diet. Supplements are just that - supplementation to what should be good nutrition.
I spend a fortune on food, and my supplement bill alone is £150-£200 a month easy.
