Great list of tips. One addition that I swear by because of the results I've personally experienced and seen is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

It's a little more "intense" than your traditional Stepper or Treadmill routine, but it definitely packs the biggest punch in the shortest amount of time.

Even a beginner's 10 minute HIIT session could produce lasting fat-burning effects for up to 48 hours.

Here's a full description of HIIT if anyone's interested:
