Come up with a conditioning routine that you can do in your living room. 6 - 15 pushups, 6 - 15 situps, 10 - 15 squats. Vary your numbers each time. I do 4 to 5 cycles of it, but I do it to complement my existing workout, so I don't know what you'd want to do.

Weight lifting is better for losing weight than most people think. The philosophy there is that by building muscle you raise your resting metabolism. That means that you'll burn more calories over the course of the day. Weight lifting with cardio is without a doubt the best way to go though. I went from like 160 - 180 after I started lifting, and then dropped down to the low 170s once I brought cardio into the mix. INTERVAL TRAINING IS THE KEY. Don't be one of those people that sits on an exercise bike for 2 hours, and wonders why the don't lose any weight. Come up with intervals (90 second sprints, 30 second jogs, whatever) and your body will burn more calories.

Also, I've heard that if you replace 1 meal a day with a shake you can drop weight pretty effectively too. I'm into raspberry yogurt, banana, blackberry, peanut butter, maybe some oatmeal or Kashi, milk (and muscle milk powder if I'm lifting that day). Fuggin delicious.
