The obvious things like walking whenever you can, using the stairs instead of the elevator, simple things like that can make a huge difference over time. Once your fitness has improved, then you can start to take longer walks, and perhaps think about joining you local gym where they can give you a proper fitness plan. One thing I always point out to people is this - if you do go down to your local gym, you will see plenty of FAT people pounding the treadmills and running machines like lunatics, but they are still FAT! You can be really fit, but remain fat, if you exercise the wrong way.

Slow and steady cardio exercises generally take longer to do but burn more fat than carbohydrates. High intensity cardio exercises, while they may be shorter in duration, burn off carbohydrates first before burning fat. High intensity exercises work well for those with slow metabolisms since the 'after burn' resulting from these types of exercises increases the metabolism long after you've stopped exercising.

5-7 times per week is ideal, but even 4 times per week will get great results if you put in enough effort. Every training session must begin with a warm up of about 5 minutes of easy activity such as walking, easy jogging or any other movement that gets your heart rate up. I guess the reason it's underrated as an exercise to lose weight is that we associate lose weight exercises to building up a sweat, and obviously you don't sweat while swimming (or at least, you don't notice it). However, swimming is one of the best all round exercises. It must be stressed though that swimming needs to be complemented by a good healthy diet plan which looks at eliminating unnecessary calories. Swimming on its own, as with all the exercises mentioned here will not help you to lose weight if your calorie intake remains high, and you have a poor diet.
