for my 2 cents (if they are worth anything), i have a 2nd degree black belt in shotokan, and have trained in muay thai and am dabbling in submission wrestling so i hope you don't think i'm blowing smoke out of my ass.
in my opinion, if you want to start slow go with karate, (before you jump on me, there are some excelletn clubs out there, i was a member of one, unfortunately, too many of them are black belt factories) and then when you feel you are ready go into a good muay thai or boxing club.
but my philosophy is why wait? just start off with muay thai, boxing, or wrestling. the training is intense, but when you make it past the 3 week hump the benefits will be astounding. (not to say there aren't any b.s. muay thai, boxing, or wrestling clubs, but there are usually less).
other than that, i agree with what everyone else is saying. if you have any questions about the styles feel free to pm me.
good luck finding a club!
