I'm 15 and don't really need to, I just basically want to be healthier. If I started to go for a run in the mornings, do situps, pushups, crunches, ect. and eat healthier would I eventually begin to lose weight? It's mostly my stomach that needs to lose the fat. I do play softball, but that won't be til srping. And I don't like going to the gym...so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Oh, diet pills and that are simply out of the question, so please don't suggest those.

You will lose weight if your calorie intake is lower than the calories you burn. It sounds like you're already fairly active, but how is your diet? By diet I mean your normal eating pattern. Do you eat too much junk food? Are you taking in too many empty calories? If you can reduce or eliminate those extra calories, you'll lose weight. And since most of that kind of food isn't good for you, you'll be healthier otherwise too. If you aren't happy with your current progress, try increasing your exercise program a bit. Run a bit farther, do one extra set of exercises. Just enough to push past your current limit.
Good luck.

Eat healthy and exercise.
I dont like dieting because it restricts you from eating what you want and doesnt let you live. Instead of eating straight fruits and veggies and ONLY healthy stuff, try eating low fat ice cream (in moderation), frozen blueberries sprinkled with SPLENDA, celery sticks, baked apple crisps, bananas with cinnamon, etc. You can eat healthy food but also have fun with it. Try making your own little meals and snacks that are healthy but are fun to make and also actually tastes decent. I know that plain spinach leaves taste awful so try mixing some stuff in it so that its yummy and tastes good. Dieting doesnt have to be all strict and boring, have fun with it.
Also, you need to exercise! I know as a young teen like you, that jogging for hours is no fun, so try speed walking around at the mall. You get to shop and exercise, just make sure that you dont end up drinking a Starbucks frap while your doing that. Instead, walk around with a large cup of iced water and sip on that while you walk and shop. Good luck!
