Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

As far as diet goes, the best recommendation I can make is to eat clean. Don't eat anything out of a box, a can, or a bag (unless it's bagged vegetables). Processed foods have a lot of really unhealthy stuff in them (salt, high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, etc.) so avoid them. Try to cut out white bread, white flour pasta, potatoes, and white rice. Hide the ice cream in the back of the freezer and the snack food someplace you can't see it. Your brain craves what it sees, and if all it sees is fruit, veggies, etc, that's what it will want. If you tell your parents that you want to eat healthily, they'll be thrilled.
The one thing you MUST NOT DO is starve yourself. If you stop eating your body will go into famine mode and pack on as much weight as it can. You need to start showing your body that it can let go of the reserves, and that means eating. Lots of veggies, a little fruit, whole grains, gallons of water.
Remember, 'diet' is just 'die' with a 't' on the end.
Again, don't think about weight or your rating on the Body Mass Index. It doesn't take into account body composition or frame size. For example, according to the BMI, a 5' 11" 240-lb bodybuilder would be mildly obese. Most of his bodyweight is muscle, but according to that magic number he's obese. Also, take into account the fact that you're still growing, and your body's going to change pretty radically over the next five to seven years. Do fun exercise, and concentrate on eating healthily and well.
Hope this helps.
