Really working out for the first time

I am 37 years old. Always been a bigger person but never really cared. Well all of a sudden i hit 291. Had shortness of breath one day and chest was hurting, The night before my wife woke me up and thought i was breathing differently. She really thought i would have died if she didnt wake me. I have 7 kids. I played my 2 oldest in a game of hoops. Every other basket i had to rest for 5 minutes. I decided to start getting healthy. I purchased a dvd video from beach body called power 90. Man did it kick my *kitten* bad. had to stop like 6 times. That was lil over a week ago. I am not 11 pounds lighter and able to do a whole workout without stopping(unless kids are causing trouble). I also take shakeology. This stuff is awesome. Helps with with a meal replacement and gives me so much energy. What is nice is that it is all good for you. All superfoods. I do plan on doing the phase 1-2 for 90 days then phase 3-4 for another 90 days. I will one day be able to play a game of ball with my kiddos again.
