Best cardio is sprints, it's also anaerobic.

Best lift depends on fitness goals, I like deadlift personally.

Food quality is very important to health, increasingly so as you get older or more trained.

As for processed food it's maximum over-sheckle status.

I quit drinking soda 4 ~January 1st.
I cannot, however, manage to ditch the candy jew.
Any advice?

Having something in moderation is way easier and more sustainable in the long term than cutting it out entirely, especially if it's a vice. OBVIOUSLY cutting it out entirely is the best thing, but I'm assuming you're not training to be Mr. Olympia, so it's probably fine.

For instance, I fucking love gummy candy. FUCKING LOVE it. But it's absolutely atrocious for me, so I don't normally eat it. Every time I go grocery shopping, I grab a small bag of gummy worms and inhale them. Yeah it's fuckin awful for me, but I love them, and they're okay on occasion. Just moderate your intake, watch your calories, and you'll be fine man.

But fuck. It's so difficult.
>inb4 self control.
I have none.

I figured that cutting out sodas entirely stopped being difficult after a month or so, but whenever I try quitting candies, I relapse after a few weeks, and all my progress is for nada.

Best cardio is the speedbag

Best lift is Bench or Deadlift

Diet is the second most important thing after hormones (most important for a natty), it depends how you define processed food, there are lots of healthy ready meals but any processed shit with lots of simple carbs, trans fats and low protein should be avoided like the plague.

I'm a fatass (280lbs)

I'm eating better and have lost ~20lbs in a month just from eating better. Half of it is probably water weight, though.

What exercises should I be safely doing? Right now I'm just using the stationary bikes so I don't fuck up my knees on the treadmill.

I'm too fat for deadlifts and squats since my fat body makes me way out of balance and I could feel myself headed to snap city

Drink water ONLY
Go to bed hungry each night, after awakening drink water, take a cold shower, sprint and walk for an hour, and put breakfast off until and hour after that.
Save your food until after you've lifted. When you DO eat, make sure it's predominantly meaty, like chicken, steak, or hog. Doesn't matter if it's clean but stay the fuck away from fast food and processed goods. As for vegetables, make sure it's dark green and mix some fruit in with it. A scoop from a vegie supplement packed with goods should be sufficient. Get good sleep and make sure you keep a schedule to it. Missing sleep fucks up your hormones.
When you lift, lift heavy, low reps, high sets. Bench press, dead-lifts, squats, and pull-ups are priority number ONE.

That's what I'm saying my man. Trying to cut something out completely that you really love is way harder than just pacing yourself a little. Try making candy an occasional treat instead of removing it from your life entirely, which is almost certainly destined to fail.

If your self-control makes even doing /that/ difficult, then you need to seriously evaluate how badly you want to be fit. Because unless you're eating absolutely flawlessly otherwise (and even if you are) there's probably no way you can stay at a really good level of health and fitness while eating candy all the time. This shit ain't easy, and you gotta work for it. So what's worth more to you? Looking shredded, feeling better, and being better at most every physical activity? Or Candy?

If you want to lift, I would advice you not to, though.
Exercising to lose weight is better achieved through cardio-exercise.

Try swimming, and stay on the bicycle.
As long as you eat less than you burn, you'll keep losing weight.
