There are alot of good answers up above me! When i was a Junior in high school i lost about 15 pounds in 6 weeks, so u will easily be able to do it. Dont worry too much about the food aspect, as long as you stop eating the junk food, pop, Big portions and fast food, you should be good. Eat 3-4 times a day, with smaller potions. Also Your going to have to do exercise, start off slow, and then you will be able to go up to about an hour of total cardio a day. If your not already a member talk to your parents about joining a gym, that way you have access to all their machines and equipment, as well as the fitness professionals that will help you achieve your goal. If you stick to this you will defiantly be able to reach your goal.

Ok so

-Cut out bad foods

-eat smaller meals more often

-no need to go on a whacky diet

-exercise daily, with 1-2 days off a week

-do mostly cardio, with some strength training

-You can do it!

First you have to change your mindset. Watch what you eat.

Secondly you need to exercise more than an average person. Because you have a low metabolism rate.

Drink more than 8 cups of water a day.

Take at leasty 1000mg of vitamin C a day.

Never take cheese, mayonaise, full cream milk and cream.

Cut down to only 1 teasppon of sugar a day in any beverage.

Dont drink beer or alcohol.

Last of all, you need to fight yourself. Tell yourself to not eat the things that you really crave.

Swim, run, jog, tennis, badminton, squash is what I recommend so that you dont get bored doing the same types of exercise everyday.

Work out with a friend who has the same goals and ambitions.

It motivates you more than you know.

I've lost 8 kilos in 6 months doing what I've just told you.

Yet, I'm still single and miserable...because I never spend enough time with others rather than spending most of my time exercising....

Well life's like that. Win some, loose some.

All the best to you and make sure you put this as the best answer...

You have a lot of time. Don't go on any "no carb" diet. You will lose the weight and regain it in no time (been there done that). I like the programme that weight watchers has. You eat six small meals per day with 6 glasses of water and exercise!!! and being a freshman, I am sure they have a gym at school where you can work out with a friend for even an hour daily. All the best.

congratulations on taking the initiative!

here are some tips:

cut out the junk food from your diet and adopt healthier habits.

munch on carrot and celery sticks instead of chips.

opt for baked potato chips if you really crave chips.

choose fruit instead of cookies and other sugary snacks.

try to eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals. this will keep you satisfied throughout the day and prevent sudden cravings for a sugar binge.

tell your family of your new healthy lifestyle so that they can be considerate of your needs when shopping for groceries and preparing meals.

try to find a friend who is also willing to adopt a healthier lifestyle so that you will have a accountability partner.

for your physical health...

instead of getting a ride home, walk.

get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and vigorous activity 3 times a week.

i wish you all the best, and remember that losing weight little by little is the healthiest way to go.

Moderation is key! Start counting your calories, fat grams and exercise a bit, you will see results gradually... which is better! Just make sure you get your daily caloric and fat intake. Go on line to a caloric calculator, put your build and height in- then start your regiment....for ex. I'm 5'2 petite-med body type, I need to consume between 1000-1500 calories/ and 33-50 grams of fat per day. If I want to lose (but keep my curves) I stick with about 1200/40, anything lower I lose my body, anything more is maintenance. Once you get started, it will be a piece a cake-LOL

Eat quality, move more. You can eat a lot of food without going hungry, if it's quality. Nobody ever got a weight problem eating salads and carrot sticks! Don't forget your protein. Exercise is king and diet is queen! Eat smaller portions. Eat slowly to savor your food. Use small plates only. Eat with small utensils so you are forced to eat slowly and savor your food. (Instead of shoveling it in mindlessly). Don't do activities WHILE eating. Like watching tv and so on. Enjoy the food so you don't feel like you missed out OR you just again, mindlessly shovel it in while preoccupied with something else. And monotony is a good gauge of hunger. We have so much variety in the US, we eat for entertainment and excitement. Eating the same thing everyday (albeit quality food) will cut down on the excitement and addiction factor so you stop when you really are full. 1 billion thin Chinese people eating rice and veggies everyday should attest for something to that theory!

you've countless time. do not bypass on any "no carb" nutrition. you'll lose the load and regain it very rapidly (been there done that). I resembling the programme that weight watchers has. You eat six small ingredients in line with day with 6 glasses of water and project!!! and being a freshman, i'm particular they have a gymnasium at college in which you may confirm with a pal for even an hour wide-spread. all the first-cost.

don't think about dieting all the time because it'll make you want to eat more. when you get hungry, that's when you think about it. just use common sense basically. walk or do some sort of exercise at least 30 minutes a day. drink a lot of water and eat a lot of vegetables and fruits (mostly veggies). if you do have meat, make sure it's lean and a portion not bigger then your fist. there's a lot of other little tips and tricks if you want, you can email me.

That is easy! Just eat only 500 calories for each meal. dont eat between meals. You can eat a lot if you do it right. for breakfast have cereal with skim milk, and a piece of fruit. lunch have a lean cuisine and more fruit. for dinner have another lean cuisine and a cookie. (you need a little treat!) you will lose 3 pounds per week. You will also get used to eating smaller portions so you will keep the wieght off. Never eat at fast food or Mexican food. they are way to fattening. good luck!

join curves and work out every other day - you have to rest your muscles in between. on your off days go out walking. you have to walk hard- get sweaty. drink lots of water- that's how you eliminate the toxins in your body that come from losing weight. research on dr. mercola's website about which supplements are right for you at your age. cut out all sugar and all processed foods. read labels there is a lot of hidden sugar in pre prepared foods. make sure you get enough protein and lots of vege's. and keep at it- don't give up. even if the scale doesn't budge one week keep at it.
