Make sure you eat enough, the worst thing you can do is diet and start exercising at the same time. This sends your body into a catabolic state where you start burning muscle as well as fat, so you wont make progress.
Also, take progress pictures, once a week or so, it sounds silly but it genuinely very helpful to motivate yourself to keep going.
Finally make sure you have a good balance of cardio and muscle exercises

Why?
Bench, squat and deadlift.
Add accessory movements and make sure you eat enough food if you wish to actually progress, body should recomp anyhow if you're new to the gym and haven't lifted.
Add cardio if you want, but 10-20 minutes pre-workout or post workout should be sufficient enough for cardiovascular health.
Youtube and Google is your friend, search up for movements and create a routine. Or just look for a standard 5x5 routine such as starting strength etc.

I came across a great post on weight lifting for women that really helped me change my game plan when it comes to working out- http://www.beachbody.com/beachbodyblog/fitness/10-reasons-women-need-lift-weights It's important that you find what works for you and I hope this article gives you some direction. Good luck and stay with it.

Hey.
I just wondering could somebody give me tips/ideas what to start on at the gym?
I've never been to the gym before.
I'm female, 5'2 and currently very unfit oops.
I'd really appreciate any sort of help!
Thanks

Don't go to the gym
Go to sports direct, buy some cheap trainers and run for as long as you can multiple times a week.

Sounds like a cracking way to get shin splints or achilles tendinopathy.

That's why I said "as long as you can".
Obviously you take things gently and ease your way into it.
C'mon man, don't overcomplicate things
