I will testify to the fact that jogging alone won't make the weight come off. About a year ago I started jogging and lost 20 lbs very quickly. After that nothing. I continued to increase my distance, but also increased my food intake because I thought I could get away with it. I'm a year down the road now and grounded due to a knee injure in part caused by my excessive weight and the long (10 miles sometimes) distances. Now I think I've got it right. I'm eating right and on a low cal diet, and I'm losing weight again. Once the running resumes, I should be well on my way. ~~scott0

I lost my first 50+ lbs by creating a modest caloric deficit (400-500cal/day) and brisk walking 5-7x/week. Walking gave me some additional calories/food to eat so I didn't feel deprived or unduly restricted of food choices.
I have recently added strength training to my fitness program and reduced my cardio to 3x/week. I am currently on Week3 of C25K and looking forward to running a 5K color run in October.0 -
It is the best fat burner for me, as well...especially intervals/HIIT.0

I'll take cycling over running any day. Saves the knees, covers more distance and has varied scenery. Nothing like an 80mi Sunday ride to see what's going on in the burbs.0
