First off , I am a 49 year old 5'7"male. I started mid December at 282 lbs and now Jan 31, I am at 257. To get to where I am at, I quit soda and fast foods and started eatind salads for lunch every day and using a treadmill. At the current time I am up to treadmilling twice a day (before work and after), 2.66 miles per time at 4 mph (40 minutes)- keeping my heart rate between 120 and 130 via the incline feature. Is this too much or not enough time on the teadmill ? Oh yea, I usually only do one treadmill work out on Fridays , Saturdays and Sunday. What do all you think ? Please give me your advice.

Am not sure what's in these salads you're eating but you need to make sure you're eating enough protein as well, protein is needed to stay fit and healthy as well as vitamins and minerals.
I would say to replace your friday saturday and sunday treadmill time with light resistance exercises for the whole of your body, this will help with your circulation and help prevent losing muscle mass in your upper body, muscle helps to burn fat and calories.

I just have lettuce,green pepper pcs, a couple pcs of lunch meat or a hard boiled egg and some light 1000 island dressing. Thanks for the help, by "light resistance " do you mean bench press and curls and the such ?
As long as your diet is balanced, including or the nutrients your body needs,
If you have access to a gym, good exercises are, bench press, lat pull downs, lat rowing, bicep curls, tricep extensions, lunges, leg press, most of these exercises have pin weight machines which are good if you don't fancy free weights. There are some great exercises you can do at home, press ups,knee press ups, tricep dips, lunges, leg/knee raises, ab crunches, arm circles, hip rotations.
It's good to mix things up as well, you might get board doing the same exercises all the time.
