    Consistency is the most important thing. Commit to exercise your 5 times a week (that is a good number to start with). When you walk, make sure you are getting your heart rate up. It also would not hurt to add some strength training a few times a week. Start slow. If you don't have weights, use soup cans. Do push ups. Anything to start building some lean muscle.
    If you stick with it, you will meet your goals.

    Diet! Weight loss begins and ends with your diet. You can exercise all you want but if your diet is not in check you will see no results.

    Start off slow and work your way up. Most definitely don't skip out on the weight training with free weights. Lifting weights will help boost your metabolism.
    If money isn't and issue and you want an accurate calorie burn, get a HRM(heart rate monitor). A lot of people here use the brand Polar and they do work great. I have bought 2 FT40's and they are excellent. (EBay will be the best place to buy b/c they are cheaper.)

    Hope that is good start.

    As stated before, diet will be very important. For working out, I personally like circuit training.
