It's difficult, but not impossible. You need to watch the sugar amounts on every item you eat or plan to eat. Sugar is a "major" long term concern when it comes to chronic disease, so it is very important to get it under control.

I recommend a personal trainer for a few months. They will teach you how to work out, monitor your performance and keep you motivated until you are ready to go it alone. The cost is a factor, but when you consider that you are creating a new you, it is worth the investment.

In my experience, the general rule of thumb is that weight control (loss) is 80% what and how much you eat (cal, nutrition), and 20% what you do (workout, etc). There is some good research to back this up. I recommend you focus heavily on the eating side first, then worry about the gym and subsequent weight loss.
