"Weight-training"? I hope you mean tailored for weight-loss. If I were you, I wouldn't build muscle until I lost ~80 pounds.
Oh, and don't expect results right away. I can't stand those people. They throw hissy's and quit the first chance they can because they didn't meet their goals in a day/week/month. Many of my friends are like this with martial arts.
Oh, and one pound is 3500 calories; 20 minutes of running burns approx 250 cal. (More for you because you're heavier). But still, remember that when you're pissed because things aren't happening quick enough.
As for diet, you'll probably have a difficult time cutting things cold turkey - so if you must still satisfy your sweet tooth - go for "healthier" alternatives. Ex: frozen yogurt, low-calorie/no fat pudding, diet coke, etc. This is assuming you don't have enough self control to totally cut everything out, which is understandable for anyone in a situation similar to yours. Just do the things you can (which are reasonably easy for everyone) - switch to skim milk, only drink water, only have whole wheat carbs, lean meats (turkey/chicken/fish), etc., etc.
