I didn't really see anything in guidelines about asking questions, so if I'm in the wrong place, sorry. 

I'm 18 female in college. Trying to lose about 15 to 20 pounds. I've been about 5 to 10 pounds heavier then I should be my whole life, but my first quarter of school (and eating in our cafeteria) has pushed me into creeping into unhealthy territory. 

Bust -41"
Chest -34"
Waist - 32 1/2"
Hips - 40 1/2"
Thighs - 25" Both
Calves - 14 1/2 L  15" R
Upper arm - Measure around the largest part of each arm above the elbow. 13" Both

I have since moved into housing where I can cook, so my diet is getting better. 

What I'm really lost on is exercise. I read too many articles telling me that one exercise is better then the other, and I'm feeling super overwhelmed. I do have access to a school gym, and I have a 10 minute trip to class from my housing that I  make at least 4 times a day, sometimes by foot sometimes by bike. I know I need to more if I want to hit my weight goals. What I'm really struggling with is A. making time between school; homework, and work; and B. What exercise is truly helpful for weight loss.
