You don't want to hear it, but here goes anyway,

NO you can't lose 60 lbs in a few months, in fact if you do, your health will be worst, you may lose muscle and in addition you will gain it all back in just a few months since weight lost incorrectly goes back on all the time.

Next if your mom still has all the same junk food in the house, it will never work, you don't get any special foods, your mom should be having just healthy foods in the house,

Lots of raw veggies, besides that, regular meals, just no junk foods, stop fast foods, and fatty foods.

Then just a gym is not going to do it alone, you will need to walk every day, and start a program for healthy life (and stay on it for life)

Chuck is right. You told us not to say it, but it needs to be said, and you need to hear it. The only way you could lose 60 pounds by the end of the summer is if you do it in an unhealthy way. You'd be worse off than you are now.

The best plan is to see your doctor. You should not start any diet or exercise program without consulting your doctor first. Your doctor will give you a list of healthy foods, and he/she will tell you how often you should be exercising. Do not start any diet until you have a complete physical and the okay from your doctor, especially due to your age and weight.

Good luck. :)

You really need to listen to these people... You are at the age where serious eating disorders are a very real and dangerous thing, do not do this to yourself. You are probably healthy now in spite of being over weight, don't blow it by trying to loose to fast then gain it all back, then loose it again, your body won't stay healthy very long if you do. Loose it slow and steady under a doctor, and a nutritionists care... You might not be bikini ready this year but with some healthy life style changes look out next year, You'll be rockin' the beach!

Don't focus on pounds and don't overdo it at the gym.

Here's a very basic plan. No sugar, no bread, no potatoes and no white rice. Eat lots of protein (meat, chicken, fish) and lots of green vegetables. Try to avoid corn. Fruits are good but try to stick to berries. Apples and peaches have lots of natural sugar so try to avoid them.

Why don't you want to swim? Swimming is one of the best methods of exercising. It's low impact but really gets your heart rate going. It helps build muscle which will help get your metabolism working better. And it's fun.

Obviously you didn't read my post. Sweetie, at your age it really is best that you see a doctor before you start any diet plan or exercise program. We really can't give you a plan, because we don't know what your health is like. You could be putting yourself at risk if you don't talk to your doctor first, especially because of your age. Okay?

So, the Do's and Don'ts. Do see a doctor before you start this diet/exercise plan, and Don't start before you see a doctor. That's the only advice I can give you, and really the only advice anyone should be giving you. Okay?
