Im kinda fat, like 20-35 lbs overweight, and Im trying to do any little thing to lose weight. Like at 6 or 7 p.m. Ive been starting to take a walk with my girlfriend after eating. Is it better to rest a little, or is it better to go walking right after eating?

If you go right after, you'll get a cramp.

It's fine, it'll probably sharpen your metabolism actually. Just don't overdo it or you'll just make yourself sick.
A good idea if you want to lose some weight is to run/jog before breakfast. Your body has no nutrients in it right after you wake up, so when you start doing cardio on an empty stomach, your body will be forced to use your excess stored fat to provide energy to you. Then afterwards you can eat a healthy breakfast, which will reduce your appetite for the rest of the day, so you'll eat less but have more energy. After a month, that's a good 5-10 lbs off of you.

On one hand, that exercise may help to settle your stomach and help you to digest and burn your meal off.
On the other hand, it might be too much for the body to do all at once. Listen to your body.
It is good to walk when it is cooling down like that, and even better with a friend. Start with a few blocks and then see if you can add another block every other day.
Try some simple warm-up stretches before walking. When you walk, stretch your legs and use your stride and you will get the most "bang" out of your walking routine.
Prevention Magazine features a lot of good information on walking to lose weight and increase health.
Another thing" drink water... you can flavor it with some fresh lime or lemon. Stay away from flavored water drinks containing fructose

Yes-it is a good idea to take a walk right after eating-you do not want to jog right afterwards because it will probably make you nauseus.
