How To Start Running? To Lose Weight?

Okay so i want to run or jog to lose weight. But the only problem is im not great at running. I usually walk on the treadmill for about half and hour. I try jogging but only last for about 5 mins. Can anyone tell me how i can keep going for longer?
Thanks x x x

    Allright, first you have to walk briskly and combine that with a little jogging and work your way up. A typical day would be to walk for 10 minutes, jog for 3 minutes(slow) and then as you feel more comfortable and get more fit and you’ll find that you can jog a little longer. Make sure the calories your taking in are normal, but cut back only a little bit because think about it if you work out and burn off 400 calories then you’ll need enough food to replace those lost calories. Most people say to lay off all bad foods but if you personally cannot do that(like me) then I would recommend rewarding yourself at the end of the week with a little something. And plus you’ll be more motivated to burn off more of those calories!
    I realize you said jogging is difficult but just like anything else you’ve just gotta work at it and do it about 30 minutes for a few days out of the week.
    Best of luck

    I know I had not been running for many years and then I decided to start this summer. There is short 1/2 mile loop across from house. I started walking and then would jog a little bit – just across driveways. Then I tried jogging from driveway to driveway.
    After a couple of months I finally worked up to jogging around the loop! I was working on two times around and then it got cold and snowed :(
    So start small, mix jogging and walking and keep adding a little bit everyday!

    Run for as long as you can maybe go to a track or where ever don’t stop until you can figure out why you are stopping is it you breath your legs then stop and walk do not be hard on yourself give yourself good thoughts on how well your doing then tell yourself i will do this again tomorrow then when you do it again just go a little further use that spot as a threshold to improve yourself little by little is a lot better than nothing
