anything that gets you off the couch

That's a pretty big question. Though some answers may seem obvious, I'd say really anything that gets you active and you can stick with. This could be running, biking, swimming, boxing or kickboxing, aerobics class, hiking, stairclimbing, etc.. They key is to find something you enjoy and do it in a way where you look forward to your next workout (not overdoing it). This will keep you motivated and help prevent you from quitting. The weight will come off anyway at that point, and you'll end up being healthy and fit overall.

Tybo, booty ballet, turbo jam. They are all good but the key is sticking to the program. The Micheal Thurman Slim in six also works. Like I said sticking with it is key. Best of luck. A good cardio before would of course be walking and/or running to get the heart rate up, then a good routine of aerobic will have the maximum effect.

running, swimming, hiking - you can mix them up to be more fun.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

I like to jump rope because it makes me feel like a little girl again. I used to jump rope when I was a lady wrestler for conditioning for those hour long bouts. Works for me still for wrestling with my boyfriend!

Hip Hop dance class! I have been doing it every other week and have been eating the same and I can tell that my body looks way better.

I think it's running but that's hard on the muscles and bones. If you can do it, good for you.
