find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

walk at least 30-45 minutes a day. get at least 8 glasses of water a day. exchange heavier proteins for fish. always eat breakfast. cut out soda, fried foods, and pizza that teens seem to love. eat 3 small breakfast lunch and dinner meals. eat 2 snacks - lite yogurt, berries, apples and pears. eat every 3 hrs. stop eating at least 3 hrs before bed. if you do all of that consistently, you'll see a change in as little as a week. the good news is eating right for at least 19 of 21 breakfast lunch and dinner meals per week is still ok. have a small portion of the things you like on the weeknd for 2 meals.

Don't expect the weight to disappear overnight. It's going to take time and commitment to lose that kind of weight. Get in some cardio exercise. Eat better like more fruits and veggies. Cut out any empty calories you may be consuming in regular soda. Good luck!

am for 145 dude, that is the perfect weight. You just need to redefine your body compostition. Also ask yourself, did I do this to myself or did I gain the weight naturally. Some people gain all of there weight early on and they don't gain anymore. Look at all of your family, it could be heriditary. If not then it is never too late. with devotion you can be anything you want to be. Good luck bro.

what's your height?
if you're really bothered with your weight, you should talk with your parents about seeing a doctor and dietician to help you lose weight the right, healthy way.
good luck =)

Everyone has been on a diet. Does that sound strange? Well, it's true. A diet is simply the collection of the foods you regularly eat. But the word "diet" also can mean an attempt to lose weight by limiting calories or types of food. You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they're going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too. But the majority of kids do not need to - and should not - diet this way. Why? Let's find out.
Dieting to Lose Weight- All foods and many drinks contains calories, a kind of energy. When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Likewise, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight. Kids usually do not need to diet in this way. Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing. During this time, kids need a variety of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active. Being overweight can cause health problems, but kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic, like skipping meals or deciding to eat only lettuce.
Who Needs to Diet? Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have larger frames (bigger bones) and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller frames. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight. Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index, or BMI. That's a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals:
-for you to gain weight at a slower pace
-for you to maintain your current weight
For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor's help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.
Dangerous Diets-Diets that don't include a variety of nutritious foods, or have too few calories, can be dangerous for kids. Some type of dangerous diets are called "fad diets," because a fad means something that's popular for a short while. Fad diets usually promise quick weight loss and require the person to follow a strict set of guidelines. Some dangerous diets cut out entire categories of foods or require the person to eat just one thing, such as cabbage soup - yuck! The truth is there is no quick fix when it comes to weight loss. So pills, special drinks, all-liquid diets, and other gimmicks are poor choices, especially for kids. If someone offers you a diet pill or suggests you start having a magic milkshake that can make you thinner, tell them no! These diets can make people sick. They also usually end with the person regaining any weight that was lost. Someone who is willing to take extreme steps to be thinner could have an eating disorder. These include anorexia nervosa (starving one's self) or bulimia nervosa (eating and then deliberately throwing up). They are serious conditions that need a doctor's attention.
Help for a Dangerous Dieter-If you know a friend or sibling who's following a dangerous diet, you need to tell an adult. You could turn to a parent, a teacher, or another adult you trust. You could also tell the person yourself that their eating habits are unhealthy, but you probably will need to get an adult involved, too. It's not unusual for kids - or adults - to wish they were taller, or thinner, or that they could change something about their appearance. If you feel this way, talk to a parent or an adult you trust. You may need someone to help you understand these feelings and get a handle on whether your weight is a health concern. The body changes that happen to kids during puberty include weight gain. This is normal, but it's a good idea to talk with your doctor about it if you or your parents have questions.
What Kids Can Do-So if kids don't need to diet, how can they stay a healthy weight? All kids can benefit from eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of physical activity. Kids have a lot of choices when it comes to activity and exercise. Some like to play on sports teams or dance in troupes. Others may prefer to be more casual, riding their bikes or shooting hoops at the park. Just helping your parents rake leaves or clean the house is a kind of physical activity, though not as much fun as something like swimming! And it's a good idea to cut down on pastimes that aren't very active - such as watching TV or playing computer games. Kids can also try to eat a variety of healthy foods. A balanced diet means that you don't eat the same thing every day and that you eat a mix of foods from different food groups. These include:
-fruits and vegetables
-milk and dairy products
-meat, nuts, and other protein-rich foods
-grains, especially whole-grain foods, such as whole-grain breads and cereals
This kind of diet helps your body by giving it the right nutrients. For instance, protein helps build your muscles and other body structures. Calcium helps your growing bones. And you need vitamins and other nutrients to keep your body working as it should. Fiber prevents constipation and carbohydrates give you energy, just to name a few.
Now that you understand more about diets, you can tell people you're on a very special one - a balanced, healthy diet just right for a kid!
