Some tips on losing weight?

I'm a 15 year old girl and I want to be a healthier weight and get in shape. I've been wanting to lose weight for a couple years now but something always stops me from actually doing it. Now that its summer and I have a lot of time it's a perfect opportunity to get fit. I've been trying to eat healthier (mostly fruits and veggies and whole wheats) and I drink mostly water. I've been working out with dumbbells for slimmer arms, and I do leg stretches, and I've started to work on the abdominal area. I have a lot of body fat that I'm trying to get rid of. A lot of the things I read online can get a bit confusing. And sometimes I find it hard to keep on track. Any tips that will help me get fit and stay healthier (especially with exercise)? Thanks so much!

    •Eat healthy home cooked meals, Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you'll start seeing results in no time.

    •Avoid the junk food like that sodas, cookies, ice cream, pizzas, and other fattening and highly processed foods.

    •Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee or other low-calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice.

    •Eat vegetables and fruits. They are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber and they’re low in calories.

    •Do daily exercise. Exercise is necessary. Small changes to your activity level can add up over the course of a day, and can start creation an impact on your weight within as little as a week. The key to quick weight apart from diet change is exercise are Walking, cycling and swimming are the best ways to lose weight.
