Hi Nicky, you've taken the first and the biggest step - realizing the need for change. I think thats most important. As you go along you'll find your stamina increase, and you will become more aware of what you eat and how you exercise. I put my foot down about 4 weeks back that I am the only one who can bring change in my life. Ever since, I've taken up the challenge. I attend resistance training classes. In fact I went with a friend a few days back and I could do all of the exercises while he was panting (and also skipping a few). So that felt great! And progress isn't compared to the person next to you, it is compared to yourself! Keep up the good work and I hope you and I can both be victorious in our journeys!
