I agree with Daimeera...you and your mother are doing this for all the wrong reasons. You're too young and you don't lose weight because you're going to get a designer swimsuit- you do it because you want to live a better life. Get your priorities straight.

If you drink allot of sodas stop and drink something diffrent. I drink something called vitamin water. It's not like healthy but it's better for you than drinking sodas and it taste good.

You're mom's an idiot and she's fueling a potential eating disorder.
If you lose 20 pounds, you will be clinically underweight. If you lose 15 pounds, you'll be at the low range of healthy.
That said, exercise is your friend. You don't need to give up junk food entirely, just limit it. Allow yourself one treat per week, for instance. That way, you know you can have something, so it's easier to say no the rest of the time.
You shouldn't want to lose weight so you can get a designer swimsuit. You shouldn't want to change your eating habits so you can please your mother. You should change your eating habits because you want to be healthy. You should exercise because you want to be healthy.
If I were you, I would talk to your mom and show her the statistics related to your BMI. At you're current weight, your BMI is 21.9. A healthy range is 18.5-24.9. At 105lbs, your BMI would be 19.2. At 100lbs, your BMI would only be 18.3.
Please be safe.

well really i pretty much eat anything but then work out. i do 100 sit ups for like a couple weeks and then you start doing 200 and so on. i got abs pretty quick actually. hope i helped

there's these rice cakes by quaker...they have all sorts of flavors and they're really low calorie and fill you up easily...i would suggest those...they helped me lose weight.
also really sweet fruits would be good to satisfy your taste.
and crystal light....that's really good and it fills you up.
and i would definitely suggest water because the more you drink, the more you're filled up, which means that you're less likely to eat more [junk food]
hope i helped & if you need anything else, just drop one in my inbox!

OKay first off, your weight is fine. Exercise will just tone up your muscles.
As for giving up junk food (which WILL probably help you lose weight, if you still think you need to) first switch to baked versions of the things you're eating. Baked Cheetos taste EXACTLY the same has regular ones, and they're much better for you. Ask mom to buy less junk. Get healthy and tasty alternatives to junk food, like:
- baby carrots with peppercorn ranch
- sliced apples and peanut butter
- fresh vegetables
- lowfat granola bars
- trail mix
Meals are easy to make healthier versions of too. Bake or grill chicken instead of frying it (marinate it in something like lemon pepper or honey mustard marinade first). Use less cheese when you have tacos or chicken parmesean. Dab off excess grease off a pizza before you eat it (and put lots of veggies on it too). Eat a salad before dinner- you'll eat less of the main course AND get your vegetable servings!
hope I helped & have fun in Hawaii! :D
