what shoes should they be telling me to buy

At 18st (250lb) you're very much on the high side of the curve w.r.t.
running shoes. But there are options out there, especially in the
supportive/cushioning lines.
If you haven't been in running shoes much lately I recommend finding
them in a running-specific store and trying them on for fit as well as
construction type - having enough support doesn't help if your bleeding
through your socks. I only buy shoes online if it's an exact match to a
shoe I've already worn.
As for the subject of "start jogging again" - at 18st you're putting a
lot of impact on your lower body and back, regardless of if it's solid
muscle or long-term beer storage. Rather than re-type something I wrote
before, here's a past discussion of the subject: http://tinyurl.com/8pnmb

Why wouldn't you go to a real shoe store where you can try them on?
