Answers:
A good diet and an exercise plan which suits your need cannot be provided by anyone but yourself. You should experiment with different methods and see which ones suit you the best.

To begin with, I recommend you to start an account at a website such as

http://www.sparkspeople.com

where you can record all your activities throughout the day- to monitor your health eg. the amount of exercise you do compared with the amount of food you eat. Also, it provides many different articles and features which help you keep active. It's really fun/easy to use and helps you keep motivated as you can monitor yourself and change your lifestyle.

In my opinion, the best way to keep motivated is to have a goal- not something like I want to be healthy but something like I want to lose this amount of weight or I want to exercise for this amount of minutes everyday.

For exercises, there are many different exercises to do- there's no "perfect" exercise which suits everyone. If you want to lose weight then you would probably do more cardio (exercises which make you sweat/burn energy) but if you just want to keep active, then a mixture of cardio and strength (muscle) exercises is ideal. You can find an exercise plan which suits you if you try a variety of exercises everyday and choose the ones you like the best and peice them together to form your exercise plan.
you can do it!
