Weights or Resistance Bands?

*I feel the need to say, not my photo.*

New to this whole exercise thing I need some advice. I know I need to do some type of toning/muscle building because they say muscle burns more resting than does fat right? Not to mention doesn't jiggle nearly as much and I could really use some help with jiggle control.

Question(s) is(are) can I build muscle using resistance bands? Do I have to invest in a bunch of weights? What is the difference between the two unless I'm trying to bulk up like Schwarzenegger? Is weights something I should work up to? When do I introduce this when I'm so obese? Will I end up gaining instead of losing right away? Should I wait to this until I am more settled in a work out routine?

What is it you guys do for weight/resistance training? What did you do when you started?
