A great way to achieve your goal is skipping!. 20 minutes everyother day is fantastic!. If you are unable to go for a run which would have been my next suggestion, do a home gym and do exercise like these which will help to tone you but also with losing weight!. You can do all of them at home:

Yes, jumping rope is a good idea!. And I know what you mean about the sex offender, but you can still go to the gym or drive to a trail and run there for a while! Also, 30 pounds by august 19 is a far reach!.!.!. remember that 2 or 3 pounds a week is realistic!./!.!. also walking is good to, but at a fast pace!.!.!. just not as effective as running!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I need to lose about 20- 30lbs as well!.so best of luck and you have gave me inspiration to do this for myself as well! Thanks!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Jumping rope is a great cardio workout!. If you have stairs at your house, run up & down the stairs for about 20-30 minutes!. Bike riding, rollerblading, workout to execise videos, dance, run in place, do jumping jacks!.!.!.anything that keeps you moving & gets your heart rate up will work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, congratulations on the muscle!. The best workout I've every found is rowing!.
So find yourself a gym with a rowing machine (or erg machine as they're called in the rowing world)!. And have a trainer show you how to properly row!. Not only will this improve your cardio as it's the best thing next to running, but it builds a TON of muscle to in the entire body, especially strengthening the lower back without straining it which I haven't found in any other cardio or weight workout!.
Ok, proper form 101 (I was a collegiate rower):
1!. Lean forward, knees fully bent and arms holding the handle and parallel to the ground!.
2!. Keep your arms out and body leaned forward, and simply straighten your legs!.
3!. Keep your arms out and legs straight and lean back to a 45 to 60 degree angle!.
4!. Pull the bar (keeping your arms parallel) straight into your sternum/nipples!.
5!. Maintaining the leaned back/straight-legged position, push the handle back out!.
6!. Pull your torso forward
7!. Bring your knees back up!.
There's the cycle and it works every muscle in the body pretty much!. Learn the form first!. Try doing 15 seconds of each step before moving on to the next for a great warmup/form learner and then if you can maintain 24 strokes per minute at a 6 resistance (about that of water) or stay under a 3:00/500m for an hour!. You will have no problem seeing all the definition you want to!.
