You have to just make better choices. eat better foods lean meats, whole grains, low fat milk/cheeses ect. and exercise and when school starts join a sport, or a club that allows you to workout. and most importantly hold your head up and be proud of yourself and the "small" accomplishments--becasue the small things make a "big" difference once your where you want to be. It just takes time!! God Bless.. I’m sorry to say this but…15 days is not enough time to lose 10-20 pounds healthly…you’re on a excellent start if you can just drop 5 pounds.

Lay off the bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Eat lean meats, green veggies (no butter) and lots of healthy salads with only veggies in them. Drink five 20oz bottles of water a day. Then exercise. Start walking. Take a buddy with you. Take a long walk in the morning before it gets hot and another in the evening when it cools off. The secret is to burn more calories than you take in. Get a pedometer to see how many calories you've burned (try Target--they have them cheap). You may not lose it all in 15 days, but you will soon. Good luck! No more sodas, junk or quick food.
