Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
1) Set a LONG term goal (e.g. lose 30 lbs by 2010)
2) Set SHORT term goals (e.g. lose 5 lbs by February)
3) Set ways to achieve your goals (e.g. I will exercise for 10min everyday)
In simplistic terms, you need to burn more than your caloric intake to lose weight.
3500 calories is 1 lb of fat…
If you eat 500 calories less than your BMR everyday, you can lose 1 lb per week.
If you eat all your BMR and exercise off 500 calories everyday, you can lose 1 lb per week.
Better yet, if you divide those 500 calories between eating and exercising, you’ll lose 1lb per week.
Find a way to get rid off those 500 calories from your caloric intake everyday. Controlled eating + exercising is the best way – not one way or the other.
Exercising: get at least 30min of exercise in 3 times a week and at least 10min of exercise in 4 times a week.
Don’t follow the same set of exercises every week! Change it up every week so that you’ll burn more calories. Try exercising in the morning on an empty stomach…it’ll get your metabolism up higher for the entire day.
Eating: have someone at school criticize your for eating artery clogging foods. Tell your family at home your plans so that you don’t run into brick walls with them.
Try to eat 5 smaller meals throughout the day so you keep your metabolism going and not slow down. These smaller meals should consist mainly of lean protein, veggies, whole grains, and fruits. Avoid any creamy dressings/soups instead go for clear dressings/soups. Avoid junk food (duh) including diet sodas (they trick you into thinking you can eat more since you had 0 calories and eventually, the fake sugar will be taken in as real sugar by your body, thus countering the effect of a 0 calorie sugar).

Quit cold turkey (don't wean yourself). Do cardiovascular exercise.
