Answer

I love the Elliptical! Works well for me. For at home, I like Jessica Smith's videos on Youtube(I think it's JessicaSmithTv). She's easy to follow. She has a bunch of vids ranging from short to long workouts, low intensity to high intensity, no equipment workouts, etc. Lost 20 pounds!

Answer

Answer

Cardio sheds weight. Since you're carrying a bit of extra weight, walking and using an elliptical or bike is your best bet because you don't want to risk injuring your joints (running is really tough on the knees for anyone). Like another commenter mentioned, building muscle mass boosts your metabolism. Weight lifting is the best option for that, and you'll want to talk to a trainer to make sure your form is correct (again, injury advisory). A combination of cardio and weights is optimal; cardio will burn a ton of calories while you're doing it, and weight training helps you continue burning calories even after your workout.

Answer

Strength traing is supposed to increase your metabolism to help your burn more calories. But ask a trainer to help you get started. You don't want to risk an injury. 
Also walking is pretty much the best universal exercise. Meaning, it's cheap, you can do it anywhere, you typically don't sustain any injuries, and all you need are comfortable shoes. But to lose weight, you're looking at about 4 miles a day. You may need to work up to that. Eventually, as you get in better shape you can walk faster, or run for short intervals during your walks.
