I'm 14/f, about 5'2 and about 135 pounds. I'm very unhappy with my weight. I don't have a bunch of time to put in to exersising, and I really enjoy going to the gym, but my parents will not pay for a membership or even drive me there. The only option I have at the moment (Because its cold outside) is to do tapes inside. I'll happily do things like Pilates, but the only Cardio (Which is what I really need, I think, to burn calories and raise my metabolism) is a tape called "Walk Away The Pounds" or "Walk And Jog" both by Leslie Sansone that my mom has. I HATE HATE HATE those tapes. Do you have any reccomendations as to tapes that a fourteen year old girl might not mind doing, or other ways I can get some cardio in when its cold outside?
Also, suggestions for an eating/exercise plan that I can follow would be great - I would like to lose around 20 pounds by May.

First off, let me say that there is no substitute for the enviornment of a gym. Positive energy and discipline is shown and this cannot be replaced by home training. I've heard lots of good things about Pilates and Billy Blanks' Tae Bo for good video choices. Tae Bo will get you really sweaty and get your heart rate moving, since you are 14 if you get this video I recommend you exercise no more than 3-4 days a week as rest is just as important as working out in fitness. As far as your eating, dont do anything too drastic- feed your muscles and your systems- avoid the sodas and candy and all of the white sugar junk and eat good meals regularly throughout your day (around 4 times a day). Dont worry so much about what the scale says- its a very deceitful tool- the mirror is your best judge of your progress.
