First of all, use this website: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nu…
Input all the information it requires. You will receive results and should read through them carefully, it shows different information such as how many calories your body needs to maintain the weight, how many calories your body needs to eat to lose weight without exercise and etc.

What I'm currently doing is I'm eating the amount of calories per day that will allow me to lose one pound per week WITHOUT exercise. HOWEVER, I'm pairing this with one hour of cardio exercise per day (30 minutes jogging + 30 minutes stationary bike thus losing around 580 calories each session). This increases the weight loss rate so I'm at a almost 2lbs weight loss per week because I reduced what I eat (by 500) and at the same time began exercising. So I have a caloric deficit of 980 per day... times that by 7 (because losing 3500 calories = 1lbs) so I'm losing almost 2 lbs per week.

It's really difficult to do this without your parents knowing, when I started exercising my parents were like 'lol are you sure you can keep up' but this only made me more determined to do it just to show them that I really am determined to lose weight by the end of May (when my prom is).

Good luck hope I helped :)

-edit-
I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT FOOD *duh*
ok, first of all ELIMINATE ALL LIQUIDS THAT ARE NOT WATER. I used to drink a lot of stuff like tea with milk and sugar (quite fattening) and even the seemingly harmless juice boxes. These things are filled with extra sugars that your body does not need. Drink water anytime you're thirsty.. ice cold water helps burn calories as well! Also, green tea speeds up your metabolism allowing you to go to digest food faster which means instead of the food staying in your stomach making it look bloated, it flows and makes you go to the toilet more often.

Divide your food up more (if you can) so instead of eating a BIG breakfast BIG lunch and BIG dinner... eat smaller meals throughout the day. replace snacks such as cookies with fruits or carrot sticks or something. ALL THESE FACTORS PUT TOGETHER and you'll find yourself losing weight in no time.

Another thing you could add to the list is don't mix protein and carbs in one meal.. so for lunch you could have a sandwich (yes with no meat in it i know :( ) but then for dinner you could have like a salad with meat or something. :)

personal experience and various sites I visited before but can't remember now sorry :S

I would suggest 3 lbs, 5lbs, 10 lbs & 15 lb weights to start. Then get on the internet and find some sites that show you how to properly lift weights (will not gain unattractive large muscles with this kind of weight training). I would also suggest doing core work/crunches... lots of them. There are many differnt ones that work different abdominal muscles. There are also sites that will show you the proper way to do those. If you have room for a stationary bike, maybe you could find one that isn't too expensive. It doesn't take up much room, and you can get some good cardio exercise with a bike. Start out doing 20 mins, then gradually increase the time. (less than 20 mins won't do you much good). Of course you can NOT lose weight with just diet alone. You have to watch what you eat. Don't starve yourself, just watch your portions sizes, and eat healthy foods (not junk food).

CUT CALORIES.
if you eat less calories than you burn, you WILL lose weight - if you don't exercise at all, try eating around 800 calories a day.
running helps you lose weight too, but it's kind of hard to hide from your parents that you went for a run, unless you go while they're out. don't bother with lots of crunches etc cause that doesn't really help :)

I been following Isabela’s Diet Solution (http://the-diet-solutions.com) since November 2010 and have lost 30 lbs and 1 1/2 inches off of every area of my body. I am telling you about Diet Solution Program because I have benefited so much already and hope you too would find success with this wonderful diet program.

It is not just the amount y-ou eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.

definately a diet. but nothing too hard core. lifting light weights will even help you out. the suzanne sommers diet really helped. you can eat good foods but you just have to watch what foods you put together.

I use this great website to help me lose weight. It has really started to get people leaving comments on it now so check it out.

dumbbells is all you will need. (Even if you don't have dumbbells
there is usually something lying around the house that is heavy enough
to substitute in for them).
Here is a list of 20 exercises you can do right in your own home for
a great whole body conditioning and fat loss workout.

Pick one exercise from each group and do them all back to back for a
mini circuit of 3 exercises. Do each exercise for a timed interval of
10 seconds for a total of 30 seconds per mini circuit.
As you get better at them work up to doing each exercise for 20
seconds for a total of 60 seconds per mini circuit.
Take 30-60 seconds rest between mini circuits.
For beginners do a total of 3 mini circuits to start. Working up to 4
or 5 as you get better at them.
Once you're ready to move to the next level add a second mini circuit
by choose 3 different exercises (one from each grouping). Do your
second mini circuit with the same time of work to rest ratio as your
fist.

two more mini circuits up to a total of 4 mini circuits. These 20
exercises are just an example of what is possible, there are dozens
more that would work in this mini circuit style, you can incorporate

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
