#1 Get the diet under control. It's the absolute Pass/Fail in fitness. For you I'd suggest 1800-2000 calories a day with the exercise program.
#2 Make time for the gym. Strength training, and cardio.
#3 Persistence. Don't let yourself get discouraged by a slow start or a week with less than stellar results.
