Absolutely Couch-to-5K. Easy to follow plan that allows you to go pretty much any pace. If you ever cramp up or run completely out of breath, you're going too fast.
I completed c25k over the summer and was ~240 pounds at that time. It was straight-forward and I was successful. I completely fell off the bandwagon in October-November, but I can still run for 30 minutes at least. Sure, it's a 12 minute/mile pace when I'm on a treadmill and my pace is all over outdoors. Still, I recommend going outside.
