good luck losing the weight dude. recent thinking suggest that to effectively lose weight you need to do at least 5hrs of strenuous cardio a week (i know some of you want to call bs, but theres a reason spin classes run 40+ min). the problem is you will have to eat more (alot more) which may negate the effects of the exercise at first leading many to give up before shit starts to work. eat right, exercise when ya can and eventually it will come off.
