    I think you are mostly going to need to look at commercial equipment.

    Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm really trying to be helpful with this next statement.....I'm thinking that the best pieces of equipment that you can purchase right now would be a food scale, along with a phone to call to make an appointment with a nutritionist. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending at all--you will lose a lot of weight just by getting your diet dialed in. Walking every day will help with this as well.

    I'm saying this because I can lift and do cardio until I'm blue in the face, but I won't lose weight unless I am eating right. Diet is 80% of the puzzle for me (and most people, I think).

    Exactly this ^^^, I agree with rlundregan, walking at a brisk pace would be a good way to introduce some gentle cardio work.
    If you haven't already done so , get a medical check up, if the medics are happy, some strength/resistance training may also help.

    But to reiterate what's already been said, you will need to formulate a diet plan that establishes a calorific deficit, unfortunately there are no shortcuts, physical activity will help, but for me it's diet, diet all the way. Good luck.

    100% guys ^^^.

    Diet will be the key because you will never be able to do enough cardio alone.

    As for equipment, a Treadmill will be the best & easiest but will also require a decent investment since commercial treadmills tend to have the 400+ weight capacity.

    I have a fried who was close to 400 and now he is below 200, the main thing he did was bike every day about 70 to 80 km per day.
    What works for me though is Intermittent fasting and fasted cardio.

    I started out after college at about 340-350 lbs.

    I decided to start out with body weight and cardio. I was afraid I would just injure myself being out of shape and trying to lift.
