Guess what--no one's going to be looking at you.
Seriously. I get self-conscious too when I go walking (and I plan on starting to jog in the spring, if I'm healthy enough), but then I remind myself that the majority of the people I see are probably plagued with the same insecurities, or they're just too busy paying attention to the scenery.
Start with even just five minutes. You might hate it at first. I hated walking at first. But now I LOVE it. I love the way my body feels when it moves. I love the endorphins. I love being out in the fresh air. And that helps motivate me.
If you have an iPod or mp3 player and you live in a safe area, try taking that with you. You can play music, or do what I do, and play an audio book. You can get some classics free at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). They're all public domain, so no Harry Potter or anything like that, but it's a perfect chance to "read" something you might not otherwise, and it's good distraction if you want it.
Watch what you eat, but don't get obsessive. Vegetables and fruits are great, and they fill you up. Eat whole grains instead of processed foods. Stay away from junk food most of the time, and try and find substitutes (I just found Crispy Minis that taste almost exactly like Doritos, but they only have 60 calories for 8 of them).
Keep at it. Tell yourself that after five or ten minutes, if you still don't want to be exercising, you'll come home. Chances are, you'll stick to it.
Be healthy. Stay safe.

Well.. actually i am having the same problem you are i would like to loose at least 20lbs. but like you i dont have the motivation to do it. but just last week i started to change that..
here is what you do:
Get up go outside and run at least a mile a day who really cares what people think or say to you at least you are out doing something good and healthy.
throw away all junk food. start eating alot of greens and fruit and drink at least 8 to 12 classes of water a day.
before you go to bed do some situps or something in the sort. i started to do all of this and i have already lost 5lbs. just keep at it and im sure you will succede to the weight limit that you want..
oh and no cheating... dont slip in a mt.dew or a candy bar instead dring a diet soda or water .. and eat a nutrious bar or something.. email and let me no if this works for you okay.

you should run anyways. if it bothers you that much, maybe you should consider buying a treadmill. just put it in your garage and run at night. let your want to lose weight be your motivation.
