The best thing to do for yourself is to draw up a workout plan and log your workouts.
Log everything. Caloric intake (don't guestimate, look that s**t up!), weight, mood, etc etc. It'll give you a clear picture of what your progress is.
Make some smart choices and keep at it, and you'll make the progress.
I dropped 40lbs and managed to bump my major muscle group strength by nearly 30% (ie, bench from 205 - 305lbin 6 months). And the only supplement I took was a 200 calories in protein shake after heavy workouts (and a much better diet too).
A personal trainer is handy for those that can't stay motivated on their own... they'll give the results you want so long as they're honest with you.
which reminds me.. I really need to get back on track here
