Don't go crazy though, start out slow either way and work up your speed and distance. Don't forget to build your lean body mass also by lifting at least three times a week for 30 minutes. Muscle burns far more calories than fat does and it turn helps burn off fat.
The stresses to your joints from running isn't worth it when your heavy, wait till you slim down. The forces on them from running are crazy. [why most fatties are told to walk, away from the donuts ]
