I am overweight....

140 at 5'5" isn't fat. I'm not fat AT ALL and I'm 140 @ 5'6". Are you luggin around 15 pounds of meat?

you cannot judge weather or not someone is overweight just by their height and weight. skelatal structure, fat, and muscle do not make up the same amount of weight in every peoson. people are all different.

looking to lose weight?

along with cardio ( intense interval training is best, it "teaches" your body to use fat for energy more efficiently, and will burn more calories overall )

do it for as long as is possible if you arnt doing interval training, cardio keeps your metabolic rate up higher for longer when done for an extended amount of time when you run for a longer period of time, not when you run faster.

you can change your weight program around to burn off a few more calories as well. Contrary to what most people think low reps at heavy weight will help you to burn calories MUCH more than high rep sets with light weight, because it will raise your metabolic rate higher for a onger period of time
