Running for beginners?

The idea is to be consistent. So you start out slow with perhaps speed walking and then moving up to jogging. Here is what I did and although I was not big I was a terrible roller coaster dieter. Where as all my life I pretty much starved and had a very small meal a day. Which I could always loose weight but not keep it off. So finally 3 years ago, I listened to my son and he said I had to build up my metabolism. So I began to eat 3 times a day with a couple snacks. I bought a healthrider exerplay bike, where Jillian Michaels voice controls the pedals. So there is no cheating. I never in my life drank water, and so I substituted all colas for water, not an easy thing. I rode my bike indoors, stationary 1 hour for 5 days a week. The pounds melt off and in four months I lost 70 pounds, I was very consistent. So in effort not to loose any more weight because I am very thin, I eat 3 - 5 times a day, drink almost a gallon of water per day and still ride my bike 3 days a week for only half an hour. Look at this way if you were to join a gym it would take you 20 - 30 minutes each way to get there so you will be surprised if you put your mind and determination and stick with it, you will loose weight. My metablism is so high now that I can eat within reason just about anything. I do watch certain things like let go of the thousand island, which I so love and use vinaigrette. No mayo, and thing fatty like. I do eat pizza, and or a few other junk foods type just not everyday. Three full years and again, I must eat 3 - 5 times a day as I can feel if I skip breakfast I cannot function. Hope this helps, just substitute my bike for an exercise consistent routine. My bike cost me $359.00. So the idea is that if it is jogging and or indoor exercise be consistent.

You are off to a great start with your weight loss! My advice to you is not to over-do it. You are incorporating lots of different workouts. You don't want to injure yourself because you are doing to much. I don't know much about running but I have heard it is hard. Good luck.
