Try not to eat at night, etc. If you play a sport or something that'll help even more, and faster. -------------- DEFENSE! - Bas Rutten

What you can do: always carry around a bottle of water with you (just fill it up at taps, public water isn't that bad). That way you won't be tempted to buy a soda. Then try cutting back on your food IF you eat too much. You will never starve on 1 helping of food. Don't go back for seconds. Also, some may disagree, but I think you're old enough to start some cardiovasular workout. By this I mean just running a few laps around the field, or swimming, or taking long walks, or etc... But remember, the most imprtant thing is eat good. You don't have to eat like Richard Simmons, but like im.... said, cut out ALL fast food (it's junk anyway), and stuff that you KNOW you shouldn't be eating a lot of. Good luck, and remember to also work on being a better person, not just having a better body.
