Nutrition Marathon Week

Overweight and looking to start a running regimen – any suggestions?
I am 6′, large build but quite overweight at 298 lbs. I exercise regularly with free weights and walk regularly (5x per week, brisk pace, >30 min) for cardio and my blood pressure is great but I would love to drop a large number of pounds. I feel as though I am getting my nutrition in order but havfe recently been inspired by a family member who just completed her first marathon and would love to make this a goal for, perhaps, a year from now.
My problem is this – I have never seriously run before. I have tried but quickly lose steam. Any suggestions for building a running regimen for weight loss and exercise – and how to build this up across a year to seriously be able to consider trying a marathon?
I have found a couple sites that have running training programs as I am interested in completing a 5k and have never been able to run any distance. Basically the idea is to combine walking/running and gradually increase to all running over time.
Here is a good example for a 5k…this site also covers the same principals for 10k, half and full marathons.
