Answers:

You must get out and start exercising. Because you are young, your weight loss will be easier and quicker than it will be as you get older. Eat a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean white meats. Avoid all starches, red or fatty meats, and oils. No junk food at all. Substitute fat free/ sugar free treats for other sweets, so that you can feel happy when you need a sugar fix, but at the same time, you are not killing yourself. There are so many great food products for dieters out there, the variety is great, best thing to do, read the labels on the backs of all store bought foods. You want zeroes in the cholesterol, sat. fat and trans fat column. There is NO real difference between trans and saturated fat. Both are bad. Get under 6 grams of Sat. fat and 0 in the trans fat and cholesterol and those are the prepared foods that you can enjoy. Once you get in the habit of reading labels, you will be a pro in no time at picking out foods that are good for you. Remember though...you must EXERCISE....walking is the best, use small light handweights and just walk, hit the hiking trails, nature trails, a track at school, do the mall (without stopping) about 4-5 times, just move. It's essential. Drink lots of water, avoid Pop, even the diet sodas. Water washes out excess salt in our bodies and keeps us hydrated and feeling fuller longer. You can do this...this isn't punishment, you are making a choice and it's a good one. Stick with it, in 6 months you will look and feel quite different.
