Having trouble on knowing where to start? Go to your local book store and see if there is something there for you. Bob Greene's book might be good for you to look at too. His is basic workout and eating right ideas. I believe his latest book has a good approach at easing into diet and fitness and then you work your way up. But, either way, research how much calories and fat grams you need, and start moving like doing some walking. Cut out sweets and quit fast foods. I wish you luck in whatever you choose.
