I need to lose 20-30 pounds over the summer for the new school year. I REALLY want to do it in a way that nobody in my family will find out about. They all think I'm skinny but I know that they are all just being nice. I can't drive so there is really no other way than a treadmill and ABlounge to exercise on. I don't really like that much healthy food but I'm willing to try anything! My mother has some diet pills, should I sneak some of them too? I'M DESPERATE!!!

I'm about 5 feet tall and 130 pounds. This past school year I developed an auto-immune kidney diesese and had to take a pill that made me gain lots of weight so it's really not totally my fault. I do take the blame for some of it though. The pill makes you REALLY hungry and so I could not take it and just totally filled up after school before my parents came home so during dinner they would not think I was like, a pig or anything.

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) 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, pasta 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:)

Stay away from the diet pills, you have to drink a lot of water and the right amount, because if you don't you will propably have kidney proplem's.
Also avoid the pineapple because it maintains your weight.
You should really try other fruits, such as pears, grapes, and papayas. They contain lots of enzymes to help, break food down much faster.
Get some exercise but you already know that
good luck

do the atkins. limit yourself to 20grams of carbs a day. stay outta the kitchen, keep yourself busy. Drink water,water,water! just water. Go for a walk, do some lunges,pushups,situps in your room. I found that the stupid excersice moves they made us do in elementary school really do have an impact. EX: arm circles,jumping jacks,jump rope, butterflies. All that crap. Look up pilates excercise you will find alot of stuff that really does work! thats what im doing right now. try oprah.com too!! they usually have good stuff and advice. Its really hard the 20grams of carbs a day,but it works. I swear by it! I lost sooo much weigh it was ridiculous. A lot of people say its not healthy and I could get sick.But when you are desperate,you are willing to do anything. It's safe. Im still here! Good LucK!!
