40 mins everyday on an elliptical is a damn good start IMO. Should be anywhere from 400-600 calories right there.
If you want to accelerate the weight loss, I recommend eating more meals that are smaller. I try to start with a 500 cal breakfast and eat every 2.5 to 3 hours after. Last meal should be the smallest, around 300 cals. (Think lean meat, rice/potato, veggie) You will end up eating 5-6 times a day. All of these meals are pretty small.
Try one of the basal metabolic rate calculators online. Whatever that number is, subtract 500 and that should be your total calorie intake target for the day. 3500 calories deficit a week will be about a pound a week. Healthy fat loss. Its always better to burn it off than starve it off though....
As you can imagine, you can't do the meal thing by yourself. Its a significant change and your wife would probably hhave to do it with you.

I wouldn't spend money on weight benches and such. I had a weightlifting teacher that used nothing but a dumb bell set. He wasn't huge, but I guarantee you he could lift as much as guys two to three times his size
