Where are you fitness wise with respect to running? Have you ran before? What is your goal with respect to the half marathon? (Starting from a state of poor/low physical fitness to running a half marathon in 14 weeks is a huge step if you can't run 5K currently; a run/walk approach might work for the half marathon. I'm training for a half marathon in the fall and I'm targeting an under 2 hour pace.)

Diet - track what you eat and keep the calories at or below the daily allowance needed to lose weight. I log what I eat in MyFitnessPal. The app helps establish how much you can eat depending upon your life style (active,sedentary), your target weight and the date.
