Well first off, congrats on taking the first step to becoming healthier. Your diet is going to be absolutely the most important thing. Start eating non-processed foods. Go natural all they way. Eat fruits, green vegetables, whole grain oats. oatmeal is an awesome way to start the day. But don't make the mistake so many people do on a fat loss diet and just do cardio. It's critical that you increase your protein intake to at least 1gram per pound of bodyweight and get on a weightlifting schedule to help retain muscle as you lose weight. Other wise if you just do cardio and have a low protein diet you'll end up burning what muscle you have. Do some research and find out how many calories you should be taking in(BMR) and divide that number by 5 or 6. The reason is you want to shoot for 5-6 meals as this will help keep your metabolism up.

1. There is a thread dedicated to nutrition in the Teen BodyBuilding section. I suggest you check it out. This is VERY important.

2. Muscle burns fat. That is a scientific fact. So the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn.

2a. This doesn't mean you have to get ripped, but lifting weights occasionally is great.

3. Cardio is great. Don't go over the top though.

4. Don't consider it 'losing weight' but 'losing fat'.

I'd rather lose 15 pounds (12 fat, 3 muscle) than 35 pounds (20 fat, 15 muscle). If that makes sense.

Great advice. Deserving of reps.
