I agree with zahut, the best diet is the one you can stick to and that becomes a lifestyle instead of a short term diet. Any exercise is better than none. One of the first thing I did was to stop drinking my calories. Coke-a-cola was a favorite but now my preffered drink is water. If the kids are little get them to do the exercise videos with you. Make it a game/exercise time, most videos have music so they can just dance along if they want.
Learn about nutrition, and adjusting your diet to eat healthier. Read the forum archives, and especially the 'BEST OF' series. There is a boat load of good information.
