I agree with both of these to a point.
Yes those 3 basic workouts with a really good hard cardio plan would do the job, but you will have to start doing other exercises to get those "hard to reach" muscles. Now me saying this, is going to be a while down the road for you if you are just starting.
2nd, Yes having a great workout partner is awesome. It is nice to have someone there to push you when need it.
But the down fall is that if they fail you fail.
You have to be willing to go to the gym without your partner.
If you are looking for someone to workout with, I suggest you find someone that hits the gym every day right now. That way they motivate you to go with them. If you go with them don't get discouraged when they try to show you different things to do. Remember your in their element, they may know something better.
One of the best things you can do is going to be to eat right, I am not big at all. I workout 5-7 times a week, I am fit and in shape. I eat everything, but I eat it right. Plus I am over seas right now so I can eat right... I am going through about 18 hard boiled eggs (Egg Whites only) in about 4 days right now. Those are my snacks, well gummy bears too (They are Fat free).
You can do it, If I remember right you are in college. You should have college gym there that you could use pretty cheap. Plus I am sure there is some people there taking classes to be fitness nuts with a degree, so they should be able to help you.
Ok I am done rambling sorry, long day
