I would also suggest walking daily for a few weeks first, if you have been completely sedentary up until now. I walked daily for over a year and lost a lot of weight (also changed my diet) without any running. But once I became fit enough that walking for two hours didn’t feel like exercise anymore, I started that Couch to 5K program. There are a bunch of apps. It is a gentle way to start that won’t put too much strain on your body. Good luck! Oh, and get some good running tights if you can afford it. They feel thicker than usual tights so I don’t notice my lumps and bumps as much, but yeah, no one will be judging you unless they are losers.

I was completely sedentary and was forced to ride my bike to get around for a bit. Like if I needed to pay bills or whatever. So I did that and drank a bunch of water and went from a size ten to a size four in two months. Did not lose weight, but lost plenty of fat.
