If you're having trouble getting motivated or figuring out what works for you a week with a personal trainer or someone who knows what they're doing can make a huge difference. They'll be able to show you how to properly exercise and also the routines that are most effective for what you're trying to achieve (toning, weight loss, mass building, strength, etc).
What it sounds like is you should focus on cardio initially.
Cardio is good for a few reasons. First, within the first 4-6 weeks you will probably drop anywhere from 5-15lbs depending on the intensite of your workout.
You can do cardio a couple different ways, or a combinations of different exercises. When I do cardio I typically start on a treadmill and will do a flat out run for 10-15 minutes just to get my heart rate up above 150. This preps your body for the rest of the routine.
Next I will switch over and do cardio-weightlifting - high reps, low weight. When your heartrate is very high this is a very effective way at burning fat and toning muscle. Do 30-45 minutes of this.
And finally to 'cool-off' I will jump back on an elliptical or a bike for another 10-15 minutes.
By the time you're done you should have burned through 45minutes or an hour of good cardio.
Cardio is really what you want to be doing if you're trying to have a little extra gusto when it comes to rigorous exercises (ie: sex).
