Allright Jeff!
The first couple of weeks are always the worse, but if you've got a good gym and trainer, it'll go a long way to help. Having a buddy or two to help keep you accountable as well will help.

Well today was a good first start 1 hour on the recombent bike i think is what they called it road for 9 miles probably coulda did 10 but my knees were really getting wobbly Kept heart rate up to 135 to 140 ran it the last 30 mins at lvl5 resistance Said i burned 208 calories im not sure if that is total or per hour guess it doesnt matter. First time i have been on a bike in 20 to 25 years i dont really remember. I go in tomorrow for my first assessment with my trainer dude. Need to figure out the time when all the hot chicks are there so I can gross em out with all the sweat pouring off me

Good for you. Try and find ways to keep yourself motivated. Some people compare photos as they go, log their progress, get family/friends to go work out with them etc. Anything that makes it easier to keep your eye on your goal. Does your gym do any nutritional advice/counseling? If not, it might be worth looking into, even if as little as checking out some cookbooks or recipes online. You can eat very well while still eating "healthy", and it can make a world of difference on the diet side of things when you are enjoying your meals.

That's great. Staying motivated is a little easier than you might think. The first time you go when you really don't feel like and get started, you will realize that it's not so bad. I go three times a week. There is usually one of those days I don't want to go but go anyway. I find that I work even harder on those days that I don't want to go than on the ones I am motivated to go on.
After going about 3 weeks, you will see lots of changes in your body and that will help to make you even more determined.

There is little in life as difficult as reshaping your body. My hat's off to you. Stay at it. If you have a set-back don't let that knock you off track. Just put it aside and get back on with it.
Good for you !
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
