Hi Crysania! Congrats on your loss so far.
If you're going to do BFL and can't afford the gym you're going to have to invest in dumbells. You're going to need at least 4 pairs of diferent weights. For example: 2-5 lb, 2-8 lb, 2-10 lb, and 2-12 dumbells. Also if you can get those ankle weights that would be great too. I was pretty weak (still am  ) so I started out with 3-pound dumbells.
For Lower body you should probably start with squats and lunges (quads), deadlifts and curls (hams) and calf raises and one-leg calf raises (calves). For
Upper body you can do dumbell presses and flyes (chest), military press and front raises (shoulders), dumbell rows and pullovers (back), extensions and kickback (triceps), and curls and hammer curls (biceps). You can do those with dumbells.
There is a site where you can look up the exercises: ERX Muscle & Exercise Directory
For cardio I think Arnie is right and walk/run program would be best.
I don't know how familar you are with BFL so you should probably check out the library and borrow the book, like Caverjen said.
Good luck! Have fun!
