Welcome, Mario! And ditto on the jogging thing. At this point, it seems that walking would be much better than the strain that jogging -- even for short periods -- will put on your body while you're carrying that much extra weight. I've been there, done that. Getting yourself injured right out of the gate can be super discouraging and get you completely sidetracked.

I reckon you probably already know this, but just don't forget that your biggest gains (or losses, that is) are going to come from getting your nutrition right. It's always been too tempting for me to slip up on the nutrition side and think that my physical activity will make up for it. It doesn't.

Best wishes for you, Mario! You can do it!
