WOW!!!! I am overwhelmed by all your responses! I will keep you informed about my progress. I feel fortunate that I have a chance to get in better shape. But I know that I can't let time pass by! So keep me in your thoughts and prayer on this! Thanks!
I'll keep you in prayer bruther. Check out these books. "Sugar Busters" is a good place to start. It's short and an easy read.

You’ve probably heard the adage “you’ve got to pray like it’s COMPLETELY up to God…..but take action like it’s COMPLETLEY up to you.”
Another version of that is,”Pray hard, pray often, and WORK as hard as you can!!”
And of course it has to do with praying about stuff that we have a role in accomplishing (or that God will accomplish through our efforts).
Well here’s one I came across not too long ago and I have it on my wall in front of my treadmill.
“your prayers are only answered when they harmonize with your actions and efforts…The answer to prayer is not according to your faith while you are praying, but according to your faith while you are working”
