How to start from out of shape

In October of 2007 my wife (Finance at the time) and I were in Cambodia enjoying Ankor wat. I remember huffing and puffing up each set of stairs. I had already stopped drinking the previous July in attempt to shed a few pounds. But by that October I was still +/- 225 lbs, probably +20 body fat. With my height it wasn't too bad carrying that around, but it certainly wasn't were I wanted to be approaching 30.

Once the climbing goals started filtering in I had to decide between farily thin and strong with heavy cardio approach or keep heavy with muscle weight. Traditionally I've had trouble keep weight on once exercising regularly.

Step 1 - define how much weight to lose and in how much time = 40 lbs in 1 year
Step 2 - start regular exercise programs = Rock climbing, running, and gym activities
