Jogging Assistance

So I have begun jogging! I am wondering about a few things though, before you go jogging/running is it wise to eat a snack?
I am trying to loose weight and have lost about 2lbs, but I want to keep it up.

    Good question, and I would like to know the answer to that as well!

    I typically run on an empty stomach. I get up, get dressed, have a few sips of water and out the door I go. I hate running with food in my stomach...

    I rarely eat before running and when I do it is when I am training for a marathon and running more than 12 miles. For runs less than that I do not see the need to snack, especially if the run is a slow jog.

    I eat oatmeal every morning before I run. I just do.

    I don't eat before I head out for my jogs. When I do (something little) I feel like it is on the verge of coming up the whole time I'm out there. Everybody is different though(:
