If you contact me with your email address, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem (unfortunately, yahoo answer's email system doesn't have enough "characters" to allow me to send the diet through them). You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy. I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.

Ok. I'm your exact age and height. I use to weigh 130 and I lose nearly twenty pounds with this diet.:
I drank no soda. I ate a lot of cereal with two percent milk; only in the moring and it was Special K and Total. I ate salads with no dressing. For dessert, if I craved something sweet, I ate a granola bar. I drank a lot of water. Sweets are bad, but you can eat them on special occasion as long as you stick with the diet. I also ate fruit if I wanted something sweet.
This is my exercise plan:
For the first three weeks. I started off with jumping jacks an hour after I ate. I did about twenty situps a day and I danced to music for fun. Dancing may sound silly, but it gets your heart pumping. Keep active.
After about a month, my pysical activities became more vigorous. I ran/walked/jogged for an hour a day, in my backyard. I did nearly a hundred situps a day, and I constanly did jumping jacks. I danced, plyed soccer with my friends (any sport is good.)
Even after you loose the target weight, stay active, and eat healthy. Always get your vitamins. Energy is important. And sleep normal. That is important and affects your weight.
(p.s choose me as your best answer please!) Good luck!

First thing: Measure out the portions.
Second: I use the diabetic exchange program. You can find it online and it is easy to use. I lost a ton of weight just by portion control.
Third: Never give up on yourself. If you cheat, just do better with the next meal.
Specific foods for easy weight loss: Any kind of bran cereal. Tons of fruit and veggies. Lean meats like Turkey and chicken. Lots of water. Stay away from "drinking" calories like drinking juice or pop...instead choose crystal light or water. Happy dieting! Good luck!!!

Plan on eating lots of vegetables, and lots more vegetables, and a fair amount of fruit every day. Drink plenty of water and exercise appropriate to your abilities and what seems realistic to you. Choose exercise that you enjoy so that it's easier for you to do it regularly. Get good sleep every night. Focus on structuring your life and being disciplined about everything you do.
I am convinced that discipline in general is an antidote to every one of the behaviors (and addictions) that we have that we are not satisfied with. If we learn to discipline ourselfves on little things (like don't skip your morning shower or makeup), we'll have that skill to pull out of our quivers whenever we try to get past the bigger things/desires/ temptations we'd like to conquor. This diet and that diet do not work.
You are young, that's a great advantage. You need to develop a healthy lifestyle that works for you and that will be in place so when you are stressed or going through difficulties, you'll have those things in place and then "bad habits" won't add to your stressors.
Do a little research on the food pyramid and what the medical professions recommend. Think about your lifestyle and "listen to your body". Think about how you felt when you woke up this morning and think about what you ate yesterday; they are connected. And then make your own decisions.
It's not as boring as you might think. It requires lots of creativity and the morning after feeling will have you walking with your head high and a smile on your face; self-satisfaction and confidence.
Did you know that women who wear makeup to work regularly earn more than those who don't?

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.
