Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Yes, I will give you many.
You've come to the right person.
To start off, dont starve yourself.
You dont want to ruin your metabolism, and if you do ruin it , it will be difficult to loose weight.
Eating healthy is actually not that bad at all, and it makes you feel better too.
Stay away from large portions and fried foods, such as going out to eat.
Try making things that are low in fat and calories.
You must start reading nutrition labels now.
Now by eating low fat foods, doesnt mean dont eat fat.
You need about anywhere from 65-73 grams everyday.
Things that are good fat are proteins such as peanut butter, lean meat, etc.
Stay away from saturated fats like butters and cheeses, those are high in cholestrol and load up in fat and calories.
Instead , try eliminating cheeses and using cooking spray instead of butter.
You need 2-3 servings of vegatables a day.
Dont fry them in grease.
Try a can or even fresh stuff.
Depending on what you like.
Fruits you need too, Canned fruits are good but have alot of perservatives so try fresh fruit from produce.
Carbohydrates, such as bread you need too.
But those you have to watch , they will make you gain fat.
Try to aim for only about 300-375 carbs a day.
In each meal , try and watch out for the carbs and if it exceeds 30-45, dont eat a full amount of it.
As for snacks there are many choices.
Pretzels, yogurt, dry cereal[not sugar filled], low fat chips, low fat popcorn,apples with reduced fat peanut butter, bananas with reduced fat peanut butter, granola bars, fruits, etc are all good too.
As for drinks and exercise, personally I only drink water.
Drinking real fruit drinks is good once in a while but they are loaded with sugar.
If you want a different taste of water , i suggest Crystal Light, they have it in MANYYYYY flavors.
Now for exercise, its fun and boring, depending on what you like.
Try to aim for anywhere between 20-45 minutes a day.(or 4-5 times a week)
30 minutes is when your body starts burning fat :]
Exercise you can do in many varities, such as a walk , a jog, a bike ride.
or even sports.
But if you dont like the outdoors, you can try a gym or just walking with your friends at the mall.
You can also do crunches, jumping jacks, and try lifting some heavier things for arm muscle etc.
Dont over tire yourself though, you have to be able to have energy.
Hope I helped. and if you need more information,ask!
I could give you more!
