1) GET BACK IN UR /b/OX!
2) If you're actually serious about losing some pounds and have the motivation for it, i highly recommend the treadmill / running in general. I remember back in Cross Country season i'd practically turn into a skeleton with nothing but lean muscle by the time States came. It hurts like mad when you've run 5 miles and still have 2 to go, but if you can do @ least half of that 3-5 times a week, i guarantee you will shred off the pounds.
3 Steps of working out imo: Conditioning (exercise), Eating, Sleeping. Slacking on / lack of any one of these will affect your overall gains and losses.
For running, go to a Running Shoe store where the people have an idea what they're talking about, and find out if you run Normal, Flat-footed or High-Arch-footed (and get a shoe depending on this - i cannot describe how much this helped me when i got a shoe made for High-Arch footed people like me). Get a sports bra and sports undies - bouncing hurts in long-distance runs.
Eat well, even if you don't know how to cook. Personally i LOVE ( <3 <3 <3 ) fruit, and eat it all the time (no cooking required!). Same goes with most Vegetables (note: i tried to eat a raw potatoe once - those actually DO take a bit of cooking :( ). Cut down on Fat intake, and moderate your Carbohydrate intake - Carbs are one of the BEST sources of fuel for the body, but unused fuel will be stored by your body as excess weight :X . Supplement your protein intake as well (power shakes, pre-cooked beef and chicken [preferrably grilled! fried food = THE ENEMY!], etc) to build back up your lean muscles. Which leads to the 3rd necessity...
...Sleep! Even though i used to barely sleep 5 hours a day before i became a triathelete in high school, your body should have somewhere right around 7-8 hours a night after a good workout to build back up muscle.
