Do you want X amount of weight loss?
or
Do you want X+X amount of weightloss?
This is the problem i see with america. Everyone wants to workout and see progress. It CAN happen, however it will ONLY happen for a short while. Once those noob lbs are lost ( water) it will become increasingly difficult to lose weight while maintaining a horrible diet. It is far easier to lose weight with just diet than it is to lose weight doing just workouts while maintaining your normal food intake.
If you try to take this approach you will likely fail, there is no such thing as compromising. You either do it right or you will likely fail along the way. I see it everyday, clients want to lose weight but have no interest in taking care of their diet.
