I would recommend you start some kind of a workout program you can stick with, maybe find a good friend to do it with you. Eat small frequent meals. Don't eat too much fruit it turns into sugar, eat more vegs and lean meats. eat carbs like yams, red potaoes, rice. Do a lot of reading. There are some great web sites and forums out there with great info. Dr OZ has a good book out there you could read and learn from.  

Just do your best to stay away from junk food. This is going to be a life style change NOT a diet till you reach your goal. And if you slip up dust yourself off and get back in the game. Remember  Y O U  CAN DO IT!!!!!

Good luck

Wow - i know you expected such response but, take heart my dear - the fact that you have come to this forum - you are positive that you need help. Am 5'7 - 32 years and i weigh 220 pounds - thats still big. I have started exercises and reduced on my calorie in take.

It might be hard for you, but i suggest you start walking everyday for 30 minutes - you could have your parents buy you a treadmill and use it at home. Stop drinking fizzy drinks, cola, orange juice - replace it with water. Eat fruits - Apples especially - (limit bananas)- to fill you up. Get whole grain cereals or oatmeal for breakfast. Do not eat french fries, cheese cakes, dougnuts, cookies, etc. Try and eat lots of vegetables, lean meats, chicken (without he skin), fish and turkey.

All the best - you could join weight watchers for better support groups.
