my advice:
1) do the cardio like the good people have said
2) start doing medium weight, medium reps exercises on the machines. at least that will tone up your muscles, so you can think about hitting them harder (more weight) later on. don't worry too much about what exercises to do, as long as you work the major muscle groups. experiment.
3) find a fun exercise that works the whole body at once, e.g. running, swimming, squash maybe. do it once a week.
