In total I run about 16 laps around my gym a day (about two miles) and do plenty of excercises. Try crunches, push-ups, sit-ups and alternate knee sit-ups. Try and find some Taebo tapes and do them every day. They help A LOT! Jog around your neighboorhood everyday but stay hydrated.
I also eat A LOT but I balance what I eat. You'll need lots of protein so for lunch, have a sandwich (with meat), some yogurt (low fat), some carrots, broccoli, celery and cauliflower and you can ever throw in some pudding. Try to get Jello's low fat kind. I'm not saying become a total health freak, just look at what you eat and if it's unhealthy say, I'll eat less of this right now and eat some carrots (or some vegetable or fruit, preferably a vegetable, they stay with you longer) to make up for what I didn't eat of this.
It is essential that you eat a lot of food thats good for you if you start working out. Every morning, instead of that very sugary cereal that has barely any nutrients and does not stay with you, I have a protein bar. It helps so much. Fruit is healthy, but your body takes the nutrients from it and then it's gone. It does not stay in your stomach long so you get very hungry. I know for a fact because I used to eat fruit for breakfast and after my first two classes I'd be STARVING. Try having a protein bar or vegetables or something with substance. If you work out and deprive your body of nutrients, then you will feel horrible. Not eating will having a daily excercise regimen is virtually like starving yourself.
Work out, eat healthier and run. Those are some GREAT ways to help you lose weight. Just don't starve yourself. Sorry if this was too much information, but I hope it helps!

If you can't handle that I say only eat beef and pork and greasy foods and junk foods, also acid beverages like soda, ONLY on the weekends. saturday and sunday. Lay off the carbs such as rice, pasta, bread,..etc. anything that has starch or too much sugar. Get low fat foods such as yogurt, some sort of vanilla wafer cookies. Instead of white bread, Try wheat bread. It's more healthy for you. Pita bread can also be a subsitute. For Lunch at school. I bring pbj, tuna or chicken salad sandwich and thats helps ALOT. soda can be the outbreak of pimples and it's not good for your stomach since your stomach already has alot of stomach acid already. Doing things like riding your bike, running, playing rope, soccer or volleyball are GREAT natrual ways to lose weight. I dont approve of the pills since something they have side effects. good luck losing weight! fruit such as grapes watermelon and orange help. If your hungry and your commited to losing weight. If you drink water, that fills you up. Water, drinking it alot can make your stomach full and you'll forget about being hungry. It's also good for your pores.

Running alone will do nothing, it will burn the calories you consume each day. If you do both, you burn the few calories you do have, and start burning off the fat.
Though, I advise NOT worrying about losing weight quickly, for even the people with the most motivation will stop after a month or two and break their diet. Aim to lose 2-3 pounds a month, not 10-20.
