>>401290 if that's instant oatmeal in little packets it's probably loaded with sugar. Find an instant oatmeal without sugar if it exists or switch to something else, like granola. In generaly, eat food with a low glycemic index (e.g. whole grains rather than white bread).
Also, stick with low impact cardio (fast walking, biking, swimming). jogging at 260 lbs is likely to put too much strain on your knees and ankles, and the additional sedentary-ness that comes with a sprained ankle or chronic knee pain will definitely make up for any momentary weight loss you might get from jogging in the mean time.
Lifting weights isn't a bad way to lose fat either. More muscle fiber=more fat-burning tissue. push ups and body weight squats are good ones to start with. They're compound exercises, so they work a lot of muscles at once without taking a lot of time out of your day.
Easiest way to change your weight is to change your lifestyle. Is there a place to drive to that you could walk/bike to easily instead? It's a lot easier to stick with a change like that than a diet or a regular exercise routine.
Your lunch has a lot of sodium in it, something to watch out for. Also, eat enough so that you're not hungry all day, otherwise, as suggested in this thread your body might switch into "starvation, must store fat" mode. But that's not an excuse to binge eat. There's usually a bit of a delay between the time you've eaten enough and the time you feel full. Try to keep that in consideration when deciding when to quit eating.
Also, if you go for some drastic diet, the more painful it is, the less likely you'll stick with it. If you build in a few times a week where you're allowed to eat a brownie or something if you feel like it you're more likely to stick with the routine than if it's months of self-denial.
Good luck.
