My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.
Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Exercise has to be a way of life, it's sadly not a quick fix. If you start with a little walking & swimming, good stretching, eat healthily, drink more water & try not to eat after 7pm, then you should see a result in about a month.

Depends how much you eat....
I would say about 1 hour if you eat about 2,000 calories of food
If you would eat like 25,000 calories of food, man, you would need to exercise 24/7. If you don't exercise 24/7, you'll be fat like a pig!

Yoga-Pilates! I picked up a video and worked out at home. I couldn't believe how sweaty and quickly in shape you can get moving that slowly! Plus, it makes you feel really good!
