Stop worrying about the scales, and concentrate on getting fit. Don't think of a number as your target, make it a fitness goal. Perhaps you want to get a new belt in karate, or run a mile in a certain number of minutes, or lift a certain weight in the gym.
Eat as little junk and sugar as possible. Cut out soda, fast food, anything deep-fried, and limit white food. Instead, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and good protein foods (eggs, fish, meat, chicken, cottage cheese). Drink lots of water.
Be as active as possible. Jumping rope is a brilliant home exercise to reduce fat, and it makes your bones stronger too. Climb stairs at every opportunity. Dance to loud music. Ride your bike.
Watch less television and go to bed on time. I swear, lots of studies have found that the more television you watch, and the less sleep you get, the fatter you get.
