Some success factors for starting exercising (if you want it to last):

1. Find a time when you can commit to it each week
2. Find a friend who can exercise with you - especially good for running
3. Find some decent gear to help you (good running shoes)
4. Make sure you eat healthy and keep your energy intake sensible
5. Drink lots of good quality water!

Walking is the greatest way to reenter the world of exercise. Walking helps fend off other health problems as well. It decreases the risk of certain forms of cancer and osteoporosis. Walking burns nearly as many calories per mile as jogging does. Yet it is much
easier on your joints. Walking improves your mental health, especially when it is done in the sun. One to two hours of sunshine per day has been scientifically shown to ward off
depression.

I strongly recommend that you do not start with jogging. Jogging is not recommended if you have too many extra kilos. You will damage your knees, your joints, etc. Start with jogging later when you have lost a some weight. Please know that the process of losing weight starts before exercising. Losing weight starts in the kitchen. You will accomplish nothing even if you exercise 4 hours a day but not keep a weight loss diet. Weight loss isn't that hard. I mean is not rocket science. You just have to want it. It is about simple math: eat less calories than your body consumes each day. People exercise to help with the second part of my statement: "body consumed calories". You said you live in an area with a lot of hills. I think the best thing to start exercising with, would be hill climbing. Just go outside and walk uphill. Make breaks when you need, bring enough water with you and make sure to use those special tight pants for running. Good luck.
