im 16 and i love to snack and eat... for the most part i eat rather healthy but i eat ALOT. i am on a team and get exercise that way but i know i need more. the only problem is that i get so bored when i exercise. even if i listen to music, so i usually end up skipping it. im not fat or anything, but i definitely dont feel good in a bathing suit and am even self conscouis in regular clothes. i just want to loose a few pounds, and refuse to use diet pills. i feel like am i constantly getting fatter and i want to feel better about myself when i look in the mirror.

You're right to avoid diet pills, they don't work. Snacking is actually a good idea: you should break up your food into 5-6 times a day, always mixing a little protein with carbs and some fat. If you're eating a lot, maybe it's because you're bored instead of hungry? If you're on a team, maybe you should ask your coach for advice. It may be that you need to add muscle rather than do cardio, so you look more firm. Try looking for a magazine called "Shape" which will give you some good advice.

I have the same problem. I get bored.
Don't exercise at home or in a gym. Take it outside. Find an exercise that requires you to move around. Take a walk at the mall or a park. Go biking. Go swimming.
