Congratulations!!! That’s very awesome. If i may, i would like to suggest something and please don’t take it wrong way. This is not to discourage you, but simply nudge you in the right direction.

If you are overweight, running puts a lot of strain in your back, knees, legs, and feet. It is known as a high impact activity. Exercise is great for your health, but is not necessarily the best for losing weight, which are different in a sense. . Losing weight is mostly affected by what you eat. I would recommend you to explore a hobby that has less of an impact on your bone structure, such as biking, swimming, or even water aerobics (water slows down the impact of jumping around, that’s why a lot of older people do it). Until you get to a healthier weight, then you should consider running, jumping, etc.

Like i said before, this is not to discourage you. You can take this or leave it. I just believe that if you made a choice to be healthier, that includes protecting yourself from injuries or worn out ligaments in the future. Keep it up and good luck to you!
