You'll likely find exercise very enjoyable. The secret is to start where you are, go forward in small steps, and always keep the fun bigger than the pain. For weight loss, I recommend Joel Fuhrman's book, <a href="http://www.drfuhrman.com" rel="nofollow">Eat to Live</a>. It makes weight-loss easy, even as the pounds drop away. Do read the book - it will give you invaluable information. That said, I disagree in a very minor way with Fuhrman - like many of his fans, I do eat eggs (mainly the night before a long run or hard gym workout) and milk (after a long run/workout). I find that it doesn't prevent weight control, so long as I don't overdo the eggs and milk. Another "good guy" when it comes to fitness and weight-loss is <a href="http://www.cbass.com" rel="nofollow">Clarence Bass</a>. His idea of infrequent, hard exercise plus frequent mild exercise truly does work. Weight training really helps keep the pounds off. Best of luck! John – Thanks for your comment.
