Based on the avatar, I thought the weight loss was due to heroin.

I think 10 miles a week is a great way for you to start. If you did 1-2 miles a day in the morning or at night. You don't even need to jog it right now. You can walk fast, do some hills, etc. I started out at that rate...then bumped it up to around 15 miles a week...now it fluctuates between 20-30 miles a week. Runner Coug may have some more ideas for you.

Good luck...

I think the easiest way to lose weight is through dietary discipline. If you don't want to be that disciplined, I recommend lifting over cardio. I don't know if it is my body type or something consistent throughout the human family but I have found light weight with lots of reps loses more weight and makes the body look better, faster than cardio.
