Anthony, I've made a couple posts in the past weight loss threads that I think you should go back and read. I will go back tonight when I have time and post links to what I'm talking about.
My first suggestion would be going out and buying some fitness and/or diet books. Don't get caught up in the gimmick diets either. The one I have been using is called "Eat to Win for the 21st Century." I highly reccommend the book as it was written by a guy that has his masters degree in nutrition and he's consulted top athletes. He outlines a plan for losing wieght and keeping it off. Others may think it's just another gimmick, but I beleive otherwise and he has clinical studies to prove it.
Running will be hard for you to start doing. Walking is a good start. I would also highly recommend trying swimming. You'll burn more calories per minute then any other exercise, you'll work more muscle groups, and it's non-impact.
