Sorry to hear about your cousin. But It's great that you are wanting to do this for yourself and that's always the first time - doing something for the right reasons, your reasons.
I am currently trying to lose weight and get back to my 50kgs. I've invested in the program called winsor pilates. I just bought the kit of the web and have been doing it for two weeks now along and have started seeing my body tone up.
I have always started watching what I eat. E.g. no soft drinks, limited junk food and low carb meals.
I love rice and pasta and that was the biggest problem for me, I could never control myself so I have learned to cut back my portion size or go without. I have got a few recipes with low carb ideas such as salads, vegs, soups etc.
Don't start out too high and set yourself up to fail. Start by writing down everything you eat for a week and than assess what you have to take out from your diet. Start eating healthy foods and introduce regular exercise such as walking, slow jogging or swimming. Start with 20mins a day and than work your way up. Slow is the best way to go. What kind of exercise do you think you would enjoy? Don't do anything you won't enjoy. You have to like it.
I keep a book where I write down what workouts I do everyday and than what I eat. I exercise right before bed (not sure if that's the best time) and after 30mins, I have a shower and am so tired that I fall off to bed.
