I am/was in the same exact position as you, OP. I've lost 55 pounds in six months and I've started to plataeu and began an exercise program.
>What should I do? I'll get there, young grasshopper
>How should I start out? I think a good way is to learn basic running technique (water, good shoes, deep breaths in through nose and out through mouth, etc.). I, personally, started out walking mostly. I slowly incorporated jogging by alternating jogging and walking. I'm still doing that but increasing the amount I jog.
>How often? I do it every day, as long as you're not pushing yourself too hard.
> How fast should I be running? A steady pace, I'm no expert but I don't think running for speed should be taken into consideration until you have your endurance/health up to par.
> be out of breath ... What do I do? Start walking, but don't stop altogether. Remember deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. You'll get better with that the more you run, it's part of building up your endurance.
