drink gatorade to get your adrenniline(sp??) pumping! if you go out on a run it relaxes you and gets you more energized to do more exercises...do crunches or situps while your watching tv- its easier when you have something to watch...
for more tips- im or comment me

One thing to start getting yourself in the mood to be in shape is to reward yourself. Say if you run a mile twice one week you will treat yourself to a new outfit. Talk to your parents and ask them to try to modivate you. If you are tired you could just try going for a walk a couple times a week. Hope this helps!

If you really wanted to be in shape then you would actually try. I'm not trying to be rude at all but wanting to be in shape to make yourself happier should be enough motivation.

working out is like .. you dont want to get out there.. but when you do you feel great and you keep going back out there.. until something messes you up .. and you dont do one day .. so then you dont want to go back out there for a while.
maybe you should try working out w. a friend? that always helps. because you have 2 people .. and some one to motivate you.
maybe you can ask your parents to get you iron pills.. they give you a little energy.
or you could try the energy drinks befor you are going out there..
but if you have a Y by you, join them .. they have great working out stuff. i love them.
but yeah .. find a friend.. that works.

Your best options are to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and do cardiovascular exercises every other day - that is, walk (fast), or jog, or run, or bike, or swim, or use some sort of cardio machine at a gym. Your cardio workout needs to last at least 30-40 minutes, and more is better.
That will speed up your metabolism, which will make your body burn fat at a higher rate all the time - even when you're sleeping.
On alternate days, warm up with some light cardio exercise (about 15 minutes) and do some weight training; you can use free weights or exercise machines. If money is short, you can get an incredible range of exercise with just a couple of five or ten-pound hand weights. By toning up your muscles you'll improve your shape and burn more fat.
Sit-ups are a fine addition to your muscle-building regimen. Just make sure not to hurt yourself, and give your muscles at least every other day off to rest. After weight training, you can do some more cardio, if you feel up to it. But it sounds as if you're still growing, so it's important not to overdo it. If you feel pain, stop and rest! And make sure to stay well-hydrated. Drink a lot of water.
As for motivation...one thing that helps is to make a regular schedule. If you know that from 7 to 8 o'clock (or whenever) every day is your time to work out, you're much more likely to stick to it - particularly once you make it through the first few days.
You can develop that habit surprisingly quickly.
This next motivator is more difficult to explain, but one thing that helped me a LOT a while ago was to keep in mind the good feeling I'd get after a workout. Every night that I felt like blowing it off, I reminded myself of how crappy I'd feel the next day for failing, and how good I'd feel THAT NIGHT on the way home from a successful workout. That worked really well for me, and I was able to keep going to the gym at least five days a week for more than a year. I lost about 45 lbs. and put on a LOT of muscle.
Having said all that, "always tired and unhappy and moody" COULD be a sign of clinical depression. If you're been experiencing this for a long time, you may want to talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a specialist for an evaluation.
Please don't be embarrassed about doing that; depression is a *physical illness*, as real as a punch in the gut. The good news is that it's treatable.
Good luck!
