I worked out when I was younger, got enmeshed in my job, etc, and let things go until I was told I needed a heart bypass. I was 39 years old and apparently had hyperfamilial cholesterol, which basically means my liver makes a ton of cholesterol regardless of what I eat. Add not a lot of exercise, cigarettes, a bad diet, and a stressful lifestyle and it's pretty inevevitable. I had a triple (they wanted to do a quad but couldn't find the fourth. It had atrophied too much)  bypass and after a year or so decided I was going to go on living. I was pretty depressed and angry at that point. So I started working out and lately have decided to get into the health care/fitness field. I went from 190 to 165 and now weigh 170. I lift about three times a week and do a lot of cardio the other days. I'm going to leave it at that for now, I'm sure I've bored the hell out of you, but let me know if you want to know more.
