You're young, your metabolism will be easy to boost. First you need to increase your activity. Put on the radio and dance, ride your bike, anything to get that heart rate up and keep it there for at least 30 minutes. You gotta do this everyday. And you don't need to diet honey. You just need to use common sense when you eat. Cut out the sugar. You know sweets aren't good for you. Eat the stuff you know is. Yogurt, fruits, veggies. I know it sounds like it sucks, but right now at this age you are building toward future habits. If you correct it now, you won't have to struggle with this your whole life.

I don't know anything sbout your health, so you would need to check with your doctor before you start any type of diet. What you want is a diet you can stick with for the rest of your life. Your main concern is cutting calories, and increasing exersice. I made up a diet that works very well for me. For breakfast around 7am I eat a bowl of cereal and cup of yogurt(I stay away from non or lowfat yogurt because it is sweetened with aspartame which is very bad for your health, full fat yogurt will not hurt you). For lunch I can eat whatever I please. I usually have some type of salad with meat or fish. I can have pizza, or a burger if that's what I am craving that day. Then for dinner I have the same thing I had for breakfast. The cereal can be oatmeal with you don't like cold cereal or milk. You can also substitute the yogurt for a canned, fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable at breakfast and dinner. For snacks throughout the day, I may eat some berries or melon, or other fruits. I also am a big fan of baby carrots, they are portable and a very healthy snack. Sherbet, popsicles, nuts, and granola make great snacks too! The most important thing to remember is not to starve yourself. Your body will lack the nutrients it needs, and you are more likely to binge. Keep the exercise at a maximum. You can go for walks around th block, or in the park. Pilates is excellent for strengthening and sculpting muscles. You can always treat yourself. A few times a week I will have a candy bar, or a slice of pie, and there is nothing wrong with that. Good luck, and be careful.

Healthy food, exercise, water, these three go hand in hand when you want to lead a healthy, happy and fit existance. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Forget about all the stupid diets and stuff. The best way is to eat heathly (i.e. 5 fruit and veg a day, fish twice a week, less sugar, fat and salt etc) and do more exercise (i.e. at least 20 minutes 3 times a week). Simple!!!!

Get a workout buddy, or make a workout schedule for yourself that you can keep. It doesnt have to be anything too intense, swimming, dancing, and playing tennis with buddies are all great ways to stay fit. As for the eating thing... Just try and make sure you have healthy choices available to you :-)

Try a vegetarian diet for about two months, along with moderate to heavy exercise. This is how a number of my friends stay fit.

Avoid diet gimmicks and don't look for a quick fix.  The answer is simple.  It starts with your sister.  Don't seek food to relieve stress.  Don't eat in front of the TV.  ALWAYS eat the right portion size.  ALWAYS look at food labels.  Don't drink sugar (no more soda, Gatorade, juice).  Avoid ENRICHED carbs (read the ingredients) and look for food that has at least 4 grams of fiber per serving.  And manage portions.  If you eat out, know that the portions that you get are usually 3 or 4 times the normal size.  Eat veggies and fruit a lot.  Eat SMALL meals 5 or 6 times a day--about 2 hours apart--and she'll never feel like she is hungry.

You don't need the south beach diet.  eat stuff you like but eat it in moderation. Essentially, your not just eating this stuff for a short time your going to spend most of your life eating it. Small changes are a good start though. First off, no soda and no fast food. Drink 2-3 liters of water a day, just keep a bottle with you when your sitting around at home. base your eating around things you like in specific food groups. Lots of fruit and vegetables. Lots of chicken and fish, less beef and pork. Carbs are good but you want simple ones like whole wheat bread and pasta. Foods like chips and potatoes (there the same, but some people don't know that) high quantities of cheese aren't as simple for your body to break down so it can sort out what it needs from these foods. \n\nThe type of exercise is important too. Weights are good, but you really need cardio to lose weight. Any motion you can repeat for 30-45 minutes is cardio, walking, running, swimming laps, rollerblading, biking. Biking to school or work and back during ur day is great on top of that. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. If all these steps fail or if you can't keep yourself on a regular schedule on your own, join a gym and set up a routine with a trainer, and join a spinning class.
