25 and need to lose weight before i die!

my name is adam,i work anywhere from 10-12 a day on the computer. i go in at 1400 and leave at 0030 normally.thats 2pm to 1230am to all who cant read military time. i start my day by waking up at about 0800-0900 and eat my breakfast.lunch comes at 1200 just before getting ready for work.i go in at 1400 and come home at 1800 for supper.i eat agian sometime between that and the time i go to bed.i have very little control over my hunger.most of the time i am sitting or in the lazy boy.i wiegh 290lbs.my wife says that i dont look like a blob and that i have alot of muscle.but i feel like i blob.

i am afraid that if i let this all go for any longer than i might not be able to get ahold of it later in life.i have the heart to want to go out and get motivated but dont ever seem to get there.here at work the owners just built a state of the art facility that has everything you could think of to work out.24 hours a day.seems like a no brainer huh?my problem is that i hate working out by myself.i feel as if there is no one in there with me that its easier to give up.

i used to be nice and fit in highschool and i coached a girls softball team and jogged at least 2-5 miles per day. i really want to get back to that.i read all the time about different workouts and they seemed to me great but coming down to it is alot harder than it is to just read it.any advise on how to possibly get started with the whole no work out buddy and odd work hours?

definitely just take it one day at a time, you will get there.  Every little bit towards the right direction is going to help you get more motivated and keep committed to yourself.  If you can't find a friend to go to the gym, go for 10 minutes here and there as a break, lift a few weights, walk on the treadmill, choose healthier snacks, etc.  You just need to keep telling yourself that every little think helps...it's a slow and gradual process, not something that needs to happen overnight.  Good luck to you!!!
