Weight loss is a combination of diet and exercise... Rather 6 smaller meals a day than 3 big ones that way you will increase your metabolism and by doing that you will start burning fat. Don't eat less, your body will think you are starving and start storing and you do not want that.
Stop eating when you feel full, don't eat for the sake of eating. Try and stay away from anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in especially soda's (coke, sprite, fanta etc...) and don't make the mistake of thinking that diet soda's are any better (even worse). Most fruit juices are packed with sugar so be careful, I know it's boring but you can't go wrong with water. The consmption of water is a great way to loose weight.

Just to add Mouldie, studies on athletes have shown that your body will start burning fat after the first 5 minutes of solid exercise where you have increased you heart rate substantially but after 30 minutes that process will switch off.
Don't make the mistake of thinking "well the longer I exercise the better it is", that is not necessarily true.

Each morning, do about 5 to 10 minutes on the bicycle, 15 steps* on each foot and about 15 sit-ups.
If you have the energy repeat early evening.
As you get fitter, will take a couple of weeks to get into a rhythm, then add more time to the bicycle, more steps and more sit-ups.
If you can do the above, then add a sport you enjoy to your daily exercise.
*By steps, I mean running up and down two steps quickly, first starting on the right foot for fifteen and then your left foot for fifteen.

Guys I'm really anti sit-ups, especially considering that most folk who are out of shape also have lower back issues. A better exercise is one where you lie down on the ground (your bed even) and then lift your left leg while at the same time lifting your right arm, and then try touch you knee or foot, repeat until failure (3 sets or as many as you can handle)...
It's not going to happen overnight make no mistake, but you have to start somewhere.
2 really good books, possibly two of the best when compared to all the junk out there to read are...
BODY FOR LIFE - Bill Phillips
FIT FOR LIFE - Harvey & Marilyn Diamond
These 2 books changed my life, it's not about losing the weight it's about keeping it off.

Go and buy the bike you won't be sorry! I'm in the same boat as you middle aged and starting to blossom..lol. A reasonably good quality mtb fitted with slicks for the road and if the gogga bites another for trail rides with shocks etc. As the guys have said, to get rid of the weight quicker you need to have an eating plan as well, but the bike will go a helluva long way to getting you there believe me, you will also have the added bonus of being fit.

Each time I feel the need to exercise I lay on the bed till the feeling passes and then I am okay again. Works every time but I think I need to change to Bennie's solution !!
