wanting to start skating.

As a beginner, helmet's optional, since the most you'll be doing is cruising and learning novice tricks like ollies, and if you fall, you'll fall on your arms, or your back.

Once you start learning more difficult tricks, then you might want to consider a helmet.
I recommend knee/elbow pads for right now.

Yeah being a little overweight won't matter. Just look up some tutorials on youtube to get you started. For the gear, go to industrial or zumeiz.
