Yeah I was that way until recently, even though I'm pretty skinny. I'm not all that in shape yet but I'm getting better all the time. When I first started working out, I'd hop on an elliptical machine and I felt like I was gonna die after 3 minutes. My legs, ass, and lower back all felt like they were on fire and I could barely walk after 10-15 mins. It was embarrassing seeing women twice my age on those things for like an hour at a time and barely breaking a sweat. Only took 3 or 4 weeks (3x/week) before I could do it for 30+ minutes easily without getting too worn out.
Diet is important, too. I used to live off of TV dinners and junk food. Thanks to my high metabolism I never got fat, but it certainly didn't make me healthy. Now if I eat something like that, it makes me feel nauseous.
