Default The Obese Client - new trainer

I am a really new trainer and have an obese client who needs to lose about 150 pounds of fat. Has anyone had success getting an obese client down to close to normal bf? She is bound and determined to take the weight off with proper nutrition and exercise.

Here is what we are doing in the gym:

Right now she only has time to strength train 2 x per week, but is also walking about 2.5 miles, 4 days per week. She moves great for her size and we are able to do: squats, pushups (using smith machine bar set at her upper chest height), body weight split squats, db chest press, db rows, db shoulder press and horizontal woodchops. We also do some stretches to improve her posture. I have her doing circuits with the above exercises.

Any tips, success stories or advice would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks - Anne
