If that's the case (or even if there's a shred of truth in it), even walking around the block is going to make a real difference. If you don't see decent weight loss from a better diet and exercise schedule after years of sitting around, you'll at least notice that you have much more energy during the day because you're making more use out of the food you eat.
Don't worry too much about running. Take a walk for the first few days, then a slow jog for several more days, then a normal-paced jog, resting if/when necessary, and when you feel comfortable jogging all the time start doing some running exercises (like running to the end of the block, then jogging for a block, then running, then jogging again, etc...) and you'll work your way up to being comfortable with exercise in general.
As far as losing weight goes, running is pretty effective, but probably the bane of the existence of anyone who starts exercising. They'd love to sit and work on the machines and whatnot, but the simple truth is that you'll notice the most improvement to your energy and health over time if you keep a good running regimen in your schedule.
