Listen, sweetie, here's the diet for you.
An extra helping of self esteem and the sense to know that you are perceived by others more by how you see yourself than how you think they see you. Confidence is a powerful image improver.
Second, 30 minutes of daily walking, jogging, bike riding.
Third, daily weight lifting, but just enough to stress your muscles a little; you don't want to look like a walking advertisement for steroids.
Finally, eat better! Water instead of soda. Fruits and veggies for snacks. Cut way back on the carbs; stay away from anything but whole wheat bread and easy on that. Mostly fruits and vegetables with minimal meat consumption. It's ok to allow yourself one day of weakness each week as a reward for good healthy living the week before.
You're 13 and your body is going nuts right now. Take care of it and it will take care of you; I promise. Get your mind right; you are a good deserving person. Don't let anyone get you down and especially don't put yourself down.

If you're already active, then yes, a diet is the best way to go. You should basically start following the revised U.S Food pyramid as a guide line. Most diets will give you a lack of nutrition, which at your age is the worst thing for you.

Weight Watchers has a fabulous program for teens. Ask a parent/guardian to take you there, and once you speak to a leader and learn about the program (and through that what a healthy lifestyle is) the weight will fall right off. Good Luck!

i was exactly the same way a few years ago, but one day i just decided to get rid of it, i started working out in my garage but the main thing i did was stop snacking, i still ate everything i wanted to but i ate less of that in smaller portions. I rarely ate inbetween meals and i tried to stay away from things that are bad for me, i also quit fast food all together. I went from 220lbs to 175lbs. so
Drink only water if you can
No fast food
Smaller portions of food
No snacks (if you must then eat fruit or yogurt)
Work out if you can, exercise, start jogging or using a treadmill
p.s. if you feel guilty after you eat snacks and fast food liek i did, then it is really time to take control of this, everyday that i worked out and passed up snacks i felt so proud of myself and i have way more self esteem now.

I am copy-pasting this off of my website. There may be a couple references that don't work very well on this site (like my reference to my weight loss ticker), but this is what I have been doing:
1. Moderation! I have lessened the amount of food I eat. However, I have cut out NO food. If I really want that Reeses, then dammit I'm going to have that Reeses...but, I will only eat one (usually...) and will eat very well for the rest of the day. I never fast or intentionally skip meals. (I don't eat breakfast as a rule, but that's because eating in the morning makes me sick.) You HAVE to eat to lose weight. I try to eat no more than 350 calories at a meal, but if I go over by too much, again, I eat very well for the rest of the day.
2. Chicken or vegetarian! I have almost eliminated beef and pork from my diet. For instance, when I eat Mexican food, I get the vegetarian or chicken option instead of ordering the beefy goodness. I do eat steak and burgers on occasion, but then it goes back to moderation--I only eat half at one setting, usually.
3. Salad, salad, salad! When I can afford salad, I eat it for meal after meal. With a light dressing--especially balsamic vinaigrette or raspberry (although a truly light raspberry is hard to find)--a good salad can have just over 100 calories!
4. Opting for wheat/grain! I am a carb addict. But, white bread, normal spaghetti, etc. are full of calories. So, I always buy wheat/whole grain bread and spaghetti. I did not cut out carbs. Carbs are essential to a healthy, active lifestyle. The South Beach Diet and Atkins are not safe diets.
5. Exercise...!? No, I don't make a point to exercise every day. However, I do do something active every day. Even things as simple as walking to class or cleaning my apartment help. I also do things that not everyone has access too, like construction work. I work in a theatre scene shop. I have recently re-started playing DDR, which is a great workout!
6. Pills. Not diet pills!!! I take a One A Day Weight Smart every day. Not everyone has gotten weight loss results with these, but they seem to have helped me. And, they are great multivitamins, giving your body the nutrients it needs to help itself lose weight. I am also on a birth control pill called Cyclessa. My doctor said that people have noticed either no weight change or weight loss with this, and it kicked my very long plateau out the door when I started. I am not recommending that everyone goes out and gets on the pill of course--it's not for everyone--but if you're in the market, talk to your doctor about this one.
7. Water! I try to drink at least 8 glasses of water, aiming for 10. I have cut out almost all other drinks, except tea. I think one of the main reasons I think I gained weight was because I started drinking a lot of milk--whole milk at that! Now, if I drink anything besides water, I go for the light or skim kind. I am a bit of a Starbucks addict, and I always order my drinks skinny with no whip cream.
8. The internet! This site has helped me a lot. The people on here are so supportive and wonderful; they have helped me stay on track. Also, www.sparkpeople.com is a great site. It has recipes, workout tips...just about anything you can ask for!
9. I don't count anything! I counted calories for a week and almost went insane. I think the pressure of counting calories or being so concerned about every little thing that goes into my body would cause me to quit.
10. Motivation! I don't use thinspos--they may work for some, but not for me. However, I do get myself gifts at every certain pre-determined number of pounds. I don't have a lot of money, so it is a pretty big deal for me to buy myself presents. Also, I have an ultimate goal date, but only occasionally have goal dates in between. My ultimate day to be 150 is April 1. I think having a bunch of goal dates would just lead to disappointment for me. Also, I have 3 major motivators: a. I am getting married and want to look good in white, b. I want to be able to wear a two piece bathing suit for the first time, c. I am going to get my navel pierced when I reach my ultimate goal, which I have wanted to do for 7 or 8 years. Also, I take a picture of myself in more-or-less the same clothes at every goal weight, so I can actually see the pounds go away! Finally, the ticker at the top is a great motivator...I love seeing it go farther and farther to the right almost every week. (It stayed in the mid 190s for freakin ever.)

I think you answered your own question. Replace junk food with healthy snacks like fruits and veggies, cheese and yogurt.
