It will take proper diet AND exercise, so combine the two. Drink water, drop soda, eat fruits and veggies, and I won't lecture any more than that.
SparkPeople.com is free, but I don't know what their age restrictions are, just try it out. But PLEASE, give yourself a week for every pound you want to lose so it doesn't tell you to restrict your diet too much.

This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.
Energy In/Energy Out
Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day
One Pound equals 3,500 Calories
To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat
1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn
You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.
Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.
Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.
I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.
I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

Water Intake/Less Storage
Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food
My favorite things to eat:
Avocado Wraps
Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon…Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.
Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.
First thing in the morning…A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.
Lean Cuisines
Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200…You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.
It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake…that’s okay…you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.
Fruits and Veggies
All you want on the schedule listed below.
Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.
____
Vitamins
My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY…I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull…WITHOUT the calorie intake.
WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.
_____
Soda/Carbonation
Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.
So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what…four sodas and two energy drinks in one day…that is a total of …. 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing…Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

Your Body
Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.
What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows…it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do…it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows…you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.
____
Walking Buddy
This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it…it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.

Did you exercise and diet at the same time? What you need is someone that will diet and exercise with you and kick you in the pants when you start to slow down. If you're serious then do this:
Start a food diary. Write down EVERYTHING…even chewing gum. Sometimes you don't realize how many calories you ingest in one day. This gives you a springboard from which to eliminate un-necessary calories. Example: if you drink regular cola (140 calories for 12 ounces) 5 times a day, you've just drank 700 of your 2000 calories for the day. That's 255,500 calories a year or 73 pounds (3500 calories for every pound of fat). Now exchange 2 of those cokes for water and that lowers your weight gain to 44 pounds.
To lose weight, you need to ingest no more than 2000 calories a day and no less than 1800 calories a day. And try not to drink them. Eating less than 1800 calories a day puts your body into starvation mode and that's when you tend to store more fat and lose more muscle. You definitely don't want to do that.
Try the eating 6 times a day plan. Eat 3 regular meals (learn proper portion sizes, but a good rule of thumb is that if its bigger than your fist, its bigger than your stomach) and 3 snacks. The goal is to eat about every 2 hours. Breakfast at 8am —Snack at 10–Lunch at 12–snack at 2–Dinner at 4–snack at 6—-you can even have a healthy snack at 8. Try to keep your snacks under 150 calories, try Special K bars, South Beath Diet bars, fruit, veggies. The point of eating every 2 hours is that your metabolism works best when it's working all the time.

I am also one that can't loose weight for the life of me and have been struggling since the 4th grade to get/keep my weight under control. I'd have to agree with the sparkpeople.com, I really haven't lost weight using them, but how they have their site set up it allows you to see whats up with what you eat and drink, this has helped me to change my diet and eat healthier, which in turn leads to a better functioning body. Also, no offence to the person who wrote about the numbers thing, yes it is a game of numbers to an extent, you want to make sure that you aren't eating significantly more than what you are burning, but most people's bodies don't work that way. If they did I'd look anorexic, cause I hardly eat anything and am always moving around. For the majority of the population, if you don't eat enough your matabalism slows down and what little you do eat goes directly to storage, making weightloss at the best extremely difficult, then when you start eating normal portions again you gain even more weight (ever heard of yo-yoing ya thats why). However, make sure your portions are proper size (resaurants for example, their sizes are 2 to 3 times bigger than what you actually need so if you do eat out make sure you leave enough for another meal and take it home, two meals for the price of one, cant beat that :}). Really, stay away from the junk food, eat a fruit and veggy with each meal, you do need carbs but makes sure they aren't empty of nutrition (eat whole grain, wheat or multigrain breads and brown rice instead of white and so on) and makes sure you drink plenty of water (cut out soda and other sugary drinks) and combine with with a well rounded workout program, make sure you do both cardio and weight lifting, both are neccassary for a healthy body. cardio gets calories burning and keeps your body in shape, but the more muscle you have the more calories get burned and the more flexible you can become, and you should switch, do one one day then the other the next, and give yourself a day off each week (its sunday for me). Oh and back to the food thing, cravings are normal and you probably know it doesn't work out well when you fight or ignore them, what you need to do is find out what it is that your body really needs and eat that instead of what you are craving, like maybe your on a calcium low and you want ice cream, have some low fat yogurt instead. And for things like chocolate (I'm a chocoholic personally) only buy dark chocolate cause there is less sugar and junk, its more statisfying and its better for you and keep it in the freezer, separate it out into 100cal servings before putting it in the freezer and think of it as a once in a while thing (or whatever your pleasure may be). Well, now that you have plenty to read. Good Luck, I wish you the best.
