santaklaws: I am no expert here, but I am also trying to lose weight and gain my health back. I ride 4 days a week and walk 3-4 days. I not a weight lifter, so I do not want to do weights. Do not jump to big miles at first, build yourself a base. Start at 15-20 min rides at a moderate pace and work up from there. If you go out and ride at hard pace from day one, all you will rember is the pain and suffering, not the pleasure of the ride. Do at least 1 easy ride a week, ride slow at the lower end of your HR ~ 60% and enjoy the surroundings. I would recomend a heart rate monitor (HRM). You need the tach on your motor, so you can tell your performance. Having said all of this, add a weekend ride to your schedule and ride to recover from other workouts. Set a schedule you can attain.
