You can make her feel better by encouraging her and trying to teach her not to be too hard on herself. Encouragement and motivation is the best help we can give people. Self esteem, like happiness comes from within; you can't "give" that to her, but you can help her achieve it. Help her set small goals that she can achieve easily, like losing just one pound in a week and when she does that, praise her a lot, or even give her a small treat (such as a note of encouragement). That will help motivate her to keep trying.
I know you want to make her feel better and I admire you very much for that, but please remember, there's only so much you can do... she has to take some responsibility for herself, as well.
Being her friend is one of the best things you can do for her. You're a lovely girl.

How old is your friend? If she's the same age you are, her body isn't developed completely, so she will need to be careful, just like you, about losing weight, in order to make sure her body continues to develop normally.
The best thing both of you can do is to eat healthy food and make sure you eat normal portions, rather than too large portions. Eat lots of veggies and lean meat, chicken, fish, eggs, fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds, healthy fats and leave out the sugary foods, white bread, rice, pasta, etc.
Just as important is to get exercise. You're both young, so you should be involved in daily school activities, along with outside activities, such as walking, biking, etc.
You should both enlist the help of your parents to insure there's adequate, healthy food available, rather than processed, boxed food, which is not as healthy and is much more fattening. If you must eat boxed/packaged food, eat smaller portions.
