If you are truly serious about weight loss, there is just one sure way to do it, and it does not involve anything special. In fact you can continue eating your favourite foods.
Every product is to be divided in three components our body needs:
Proteins, Corbonhydrates and Fat.
The values of these three components are listed on many sites and even on most packings. This means it is possible to write yout toal intake by noting down everything you eat and drink in a spreadsheet and making a total of the component values. Start doing this for one week.
At the beginning of the week you should write down your weight and if you can measure it your BMI (body mass index). At the end of the week you do the same.
By the difference in value you have an indication of what you used, and how much was stored in fat.  Now it is time to start variation.
Check which foods you like would contain less fat, while keeping the other components at level. Change your diets towards them. Do this for one week and once again notice the change.
To add to the process, increase your activity. No need to overdo it if you are not used, just start walking to the foodshop instead of taking the car.

By constantly noting your actions and your food and drink intake, you will be able to make your intake of fats lower than your consumption, which means you will lose weight. Also you will notice the effect of your activity on the development.

This is a scientific method, and it will take mostly discipline to write down everything. But after some time it will become a natural habit and you will be able to know the effect of eating that extra burger.

Not going to be fast, but as it creates awareness the effect will last a lot longer.
Most diets have the problem that as you change your habits radically, after the diet you will fall back in to old habits and lose the effect.

Good luck, because it's very hard and you'll need a lot of motivation. Eating healthy food does 80% of the job, physical activity does 20%.

If you want to be encouraged by others or want to update and show your progress to others, I suggest you head to forum.bodybuliding.com . There is a teen bodybuliding thread there and I have to say that it is, in my opinion, the best forum site for bodybuilding. It has many information about bodybuilding and everybody is sharing their progress with one another. So it would be better to head over their.

All the best with your goals!

60kg for 1.80m is not reasonable.

[Reece]

I have to keep converting all of these KG and Metres to stone and feet to have any idea what you are talking about. 

[Darxez]

60kg for 1.80m is not reasonable.

Used to be 65... That was including gym and everything.

I hope you understand that losing 33+ pounds in 2 months is very unhealthy nevermind a crap load of work. Besides, you will be losing alota muscle weight as well at that rate. It should be a lifestyle, not a punishment.

I'm someone that loses weight quite quick. I used to be 100 but lost about 20 in 3 months. Just by putting a side some stuff and walking a lot (I play Golf every saturday and sunday, means I walk averagle 10-15km a weekend, not forgetting school and getting to the school of my GF every evening to say her goodbye)
