Begin a basic weightlifting plan. Just use the machines to start with rather than freeweights.
Start with low weight. Use cycling machines too. I'd avoid running- thats an easy way to avoid
any ankle or knee injuries from the excess weight. Also- eat less. Don't eat to feel full, eat to stop
feeling hungry. Keep healthy snacks on hand. Avoid sweet drinks and candy.
Lastly- ride the bicycle often!
