Whatever exercise you do to lose weight, be sure it is aerobic. This means that you do not run short of breath. Write them down every week. Inches will come off even though weight is not coming off, or coming off slowly. This is due to muscle build up in your body.
Muscle is heavier than fat.
Wherever you work, walk along the longest route posible to get from wherever you are - to wherever you're going. Keep your exercise bikes or equipment in plain sight. This acts as a constant reminder of the effort you have invested, so you don't eat the wrong foods and waste those efforts. Always warm up with strecthing, etc. before exercising. This will make your body burn more fat when you actually do start exercising, and will help prevent accidental muscle damage.
