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.

Here's a tip that helped me lose some weight. I found out that it takes 15 to 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it isn't starving for food anymore. So if you dish out a small portion of food for a meal and when you eat it you still feel hungry, just wait about 15 minutes or so and it will go away.
That helped me a lot because I used to eat until I started to feel full and when I tried eating less I was afraid that if I stopped eating when I was still hungry then I was going to stay hungry until the next time I ate.

As for the exercise, keep up with it, and mix it up so you don't get bored! Don't be afraid to try something new every once in awhile. Food is a different matter. If you try and cut out everything you love, you won't have any success. It's okay to eat what you love, just eat much less of it. I try and use SMALLER plates. Also, EAT SLOWLY! Most people eat way too fast and end up overeating. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!! Seriously, I hate drinking water, but its great for you, your skin, and will help keep you from overeating. I've lost 25 pounds in the past couple of months just doing these things. ABOVE ALL, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, SET REALISTIC GOALS, AND BE DEDICATED TO YOUR WORKOUTS! Don't overdo, and be healthy! Love the skin your in.
-Cheers!-

slow down! take your time. you did't gain all that weight in a month, it's gonna take time. there is only one diet that i know of that really works and thats changing your habits for life. but that doesn't mean you can''t enjoy life. if you love sweets, then eat them only on the weekends, or on sunday. tell your mom you've become a vegetarian. meat put on a lot of pounds. rememeber, vegetarians have to get protien from beans and lots of vegetables. let your mom know what you are going through, get her on your side. if not her, talk to a favorite teacher. you could research it. make it a part of your life not just a panic reaction. you have lots of time. enjoy being serious about your life.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

Hi! Try explaining to your mum that this weight loss issue is very important to you. Then she can understand your difficulty and hopefully join you in eating and living healthily. Help her in the kitchen and come up with kick-*** dishes together that are low in fat.
And do try cutting down candy. Every little step helps=)
Good luck!

Fast AND healthy? No such thing. Seriously - good weight loss is slow, like losing 1-2 lbs per week MAXIMUM.

The whole key to weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. This means that if you consume 1200 calories a day, you would need to burn 1500.
