Well, first off I want to commend you on your good outlook on health..its great to see a young girl who is actually interested in geting healthy through good eating habbits and excersize, rather then just reaching for the first bottle of weight loss pills (which typicaly dont work anyways) they can find on the shelf. Have you ever heard of negative calorie foods? These are foods that actually use more calories to digest then there actually are calories in the food itself! and there is a great list with alot of
variety....
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) try this web site to give you a list of all these foods,(and if the site doesnt work, then google negative calorie foods, and you'll get a BUNCH of ideas including some great recipes!) As for excersize, its good to do cardio workouts just as much if not more then regular strength training...running is a great idea, or to start out even switching between running a block, then walking one...swimming is great because it works out almost every muscle in the body and gets the heart going....lifting light weights for a couple extra reps will also give you a lean sculpted body...just remember that cardio and strenght training (the weights and situps and stuff) work together as a team, and over time, should give you great results!! Hope that I helped!! Let me know how things go!

Don't eat CRAP---- you need to eat fruits and vegetables-----or you can try the south beach diet stuff those are great

In my experience, snacking is what is the killer. Once I quit snacking a lot I started to lose weight (like 15 pounds in 3 or 4 months). Now I usually go to bed hungry, but its really not that bad because I forget about it really soon. Before I used to have a bowl of cereal before bed but I realized there's really no point since you dont know if you are hungry or not when you are asleep. I think adding this to all of the suggestions below would be an excellent start.

You can always try the basics as in, salads, vegetables, carrots, celerey, you know, all that good stuff. Then you can try those 100 calorie packs or nutri-grain bars. Steamed vegetables and grilled chicken are healthy too.
And here's some good work out techniqes, so try these. Good luck and just goto this site, i hope i helped!
