I use Figure 8 www.gofigure.com and I tap dance. Make sure whatever exercise you do is fun and exciting to you. If you don't want to do it, you won't be able to keep it up on the tough days.

I started walking more and drinking more water. I quit soda almost 4 years ago. After I did that I dropped 30 pounds!! But I have a treadmill in the house. So I walk about 7 miles at least 3 times a week.

Support, support, support!! That is so key to successfully losing weight. You can find message boards for just about everything, so maybe look and see if you can find one for that? I'm a member of one that isn't open to the public, but it has really helped me tremendously. I can go there and get support and encouragement when I'm having a bad day and likewise I can go and brag on myself when I've done well. It's just so helpful to discuss your struggles with other women who get it, also some will give you advice that has helped them.
Other than that I'd say walking for 45 minutes a day to an hour at least 3 times a week and cutting back your calories to 1200 -1500 to start, for about 6 weeks. This will get you going! It worked for me. :) After I lost 25 lbs I increased my caloric intake somewhat and have kept the weight off. It really helps to keep a food journal when you're first starting out, it will teach you to be more aware of how much you are consuming. Drink loads of water too and don't eat less than 2 hours before going to bed. I also will say that I don't eat large meals, but I eat many very small meals (more like snack size) throughout the day. You tummy will shrink and you'll never feel hungry... the first two weeks of cutting back on portion size and calories is VERY hard! Just to prepare you. You will feel quiting just about everyday, but just hang in there.
Best thing about losing weight this way is that it's all free!!

Don’t believe you’ll loose weight quickly. You won’t. Don’t starve yourself you will loose weight at a slower rate.
Eat less, moderate what you eat and if you don’t know how to, learn to cook, pick up recipes, try spark people.com for motivation and inspiration, there’s also a few recipes that are deemed ‘healthy’.
Exercise, join activities you enjoy, swim, cycle and begin running. Do at least 30 minutes a day, but if that’s too much at first start off at 5/10 minutes and build up gradually, remember that doing 5 minutes is better than doing nothing so don’t have a ‘all or nothing attitude’ to exercise.
Within the first few weeks of exercise you may see you’ll loose anything from 5-9lb a week; great, but don’t depend on it or get disappointed when it drops down to 2lb-4lb it’s natural and a good rate to loose.
I’ve lost four stone(50lb+) and I feel fitter, and healthier. I’ve dropped cloth sizes and realised the joy of exercise.
It’s a journey, it’s not going to happen ever night, you’ve spent along time putting this weight on, why would it be any difference to take it off?
