Loosing weight

[EssJay]

For as long as I can remember I've been overweight. I'm now pushing 17 (in december) and I want to try and loose about 15 or so kilos before I'm 18.
I was wondering if you guys can think of anything I could do?
I've decided I will eat less and try and walk an hour every day for exercise, but thats about it so far.
And for those of you wondering how overweight I am, here's a pic of me (best pic I could find, sorry it couldn't be a better one)

First of all, congratulations on your decision to lose 33 pounds.

In your picture you look like you are petite with a small bone structure. About the only things I would add to your plan are joining a support group and keeping a journal. The journal can be a food journal if you want, but note the different times of the day you're most hungry, or what triggers you to eat. If you start seeing patterns, you can develop strategies to counteract them. Good luck and hugs.

I pray that you can keep at it and that you will be given the strengh to keep moving forward. I notice your playing the bass in the photo. Times you want to eat maybe dwell in your music. I'm assuming your a musician from the picture. Good luck. But don't let it consume you.

If you can, weight lifting would be great. Perhaps if you need motivation and help learning how to set up a fitness program you could go to a fitness trainer. And oh, have you checked out the exercise forum in here?

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll probably update here every now and then on progress. Tomorrow I haven't got school, so I might go on a 2 hour walk in the morning.
I usually do go off and play bass when I'm hungry, so that keeps me occupied at times. But the D string on my guitar broke a second ago and I'm annoyed at that (right when I was learing Ghostbusters too).
I'm fairly short, I think about 147 cm tall and I'm something over 100 kilos, so I'm gonna make a start on this end of year resolution.
