I second what Kitsune said except Drink tea instead of coffee or soda -- less caffeine. And when you do feel hungry between regularly scheduled meals, drink something instead of eating -- water is best.

Take it slow with the exercise. It is easy to burn out if you try too hard too soon. Eventually you want to work in some aerobic exercise (heartrate of >120 bpm). For me I try to ride my bike or use a stationary equipment at least once a day reaching 120 bpm for 15-20 min. It took about 4 months to work up to that level -- I lost about 45lbs. from 230.
