I'm 13, what is a good way to lose weight && get fit?

I weigh 127 lbs && I'm 5'2"
I'm a size 7 in Juniors jeans (USA) And M in Juniors tops.
I have fat around my belly, waist, butt, arms, legs and well, I'm just about 10 pounds overweight.
I know that they say "You thin out as you get older" but I start my first year of high school next year and I do not want to start out overweight.
What are some good ways to lose 10 pounds?
DO NOT SUGGEST WEIGHT LOSS PILLS, WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I WANT TO BE HEALTHY AND FIT.

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

While I'm not sure 13 year ODsare up for the scientific answers. The basic thing is that if you move your body, it will begin to burn fat.

Play an active team sport. Track, softball, soccer, basketball, cross country, ice/roller hockey etc. Something that requires scheduled team practice and competition. The point of this is, you don't have to be the best at the sport, but the participation will eexerciseyour body. You may find that you can really excel at the sport once your body is trained to carry its own weight.

The added activity will make you want to eat more, don't worry about that. Just make sure you eat right (fruits over candy), and continue to exercise, before you know it the weight will fall off. You will notice from the complements you will receive unsolicited from your friends and others.

Good luck

I know many people who had the same problem, since they were young, since your only 13 don't go too extreme your only young and your body will shapen it way out, the best way is to just eat healthier and do sports.
Lessen your intake of junk food, eat more fruit and vegetables, do regular excercise like walk around or jog, join a sports activity like soccer or swimming. but be patient, these results will take a while, don't expect to see the diffrence 1 day later, it will show gradually.
