My father never takes proper care of himself. He eates OK. A little bit of Ice Cream and heavy Cream in his cofee. But he NEVER gets any exercise. I try to get him to go on walks. He claims that he walks 10 minutes everyday but I know he doesn't. He spends alot of his time in his room on his computer working or watching TV. He recently had a stroke and suffers from some fatige from all of the medications. He is a really great father but I want him to live to see me married.

You do not say how old your Dad is, but he may be so set in his ways that it will be tough to change.
Talk to him, let him know you love him, and that you want him to be around. Let him know that you are aware that if he doesn't change, he will not be around for you. As a father of four, I can tell you that we (Dad's) do listen to our kids. We may not acknowledge it to you, but we "hear" you and what you say does sink in.
Offer to excercise with him. Any chance you could get him to go for a bike ride? It is more enjoyable, in my opinion, and a good all around work out.
Good luck. Don't expect immediate results, old habits are hard to break.
