Advice for a Newbie

Hi,
I have just joined the forum.
I was a keen runner at school and now aged 43 and overweight I am trying to get the momentum back.
I have become lazy over the years and in a bid to get fit etc I have signed myself up for the 5K race for life in June (which I intend to run).
My question is what is the best form of training?
I have downloaded the NHS couch to 5K app but didn't get on too well with this. Can anyone recommend anything else?
Also my friend said I shouldn't be running until I have lost weight - which I found demotivating. Is this true?

Thanks
