Easy, You have to EAT HEALTHY, and EXCERCISE!!!!!!!!
For a healthy diet, you need to be eating small to medium meals regularly. 4 or even 5 times a day. Each meal (apart from breakfast which should preferably be fibre rich), should contain a balanced ammount of carbohydrates for energy, (from potatoes, rice and pasta, etc) protien (from fish, chicken, occassional red meat is fine, soya is good too) and plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (simple fresh fruit and veg). Eat like this and make sure you are well hydrated (fruit juice is as good as water, any fluid counts, but some fluids have negative effects too, such as alcohol or caffiene rich drinks.)
You can have a wide range of healthy meals with this, from Thai, Chinese, Italian, British, Indian, etc. Just make sure each meal contains balanced ammounts of these three. On the bright side too, fresh veg and rice and pasta is a lot cheaper than crappy junk food!
This doesn't mean you cant have chocolate or pizza/takeaway/etc, just save them as very occassional treats.
A healthy diet and keeping well hydrated will help with your skin too.
The big secret to keeping a healthy weight and staying healthy is EXCERCISE, particularly cardio excercise (running, swimming, cycling, etc).
Cardio exercise will not only burn calories and reduce your body fat levels, but will also improve your resting heart rate and lung function, making you healthier.
Strength training will help you strengthen and tone your muscles. Heavy weights with short reps/sets will build your fast twitch muscle fibres and build size, power and strength, but if you use light to medium weights with lots of reps/sets, you wont build size, but you will tone up your muscles body and train muscle endurance. This will obviously make you 'look' healthier and more toned, but will also increase your metabolism (as your muscles demand more energy) so you will burn calories faster.
As far as excercise goes, you should aim to strike a balance between cardio training and strength training, this way you will build good strong and toned muscle, but also keep your body fat levels down and increase your heart and lung performance, making you much fitter and healthier.
Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer

Before you go on any weight loss plan, it would be a good idea for you to see your GP or nutritionist at your surgery to make sure that you really do need to lose 28lb. At 16 years old it would not be a good idea to give you weight loss tips online. You need to have professional advice first regarding your height/weight ratio and a correct measurement of your BMI. If you do need to lose the weight after all these things have been checked then would be a good time to ask the Y/a community for help but not beforeHealth Question & Answer

Good Luck x

excersice. running and jumping helps. basically move around but the ones that really get you out of breath can use up your fat most.
eat healthy. meaning keep away from the junk food as much as you can.nothing like pizza, takeout, chips, etc. just once in a while
meat little fat as possible, lot of veggies, carb intake not too much.
(if you want to do that calorie count thingy, 3500cal=1lb.)
drink water or tea. milk skimmed or nonfat. juice and soda have lot of sugar...so just eat real fruits instead.
dont try to starve or eat very very little that you dont feel well. it might not be sucessful b/c in simpler terms your body will literally scrap every last energy it can get from the very little you do eat.
here is a free site that tells you stuff on how to lose weight and tone muscles. http://www.nowloss.com/
you dont have to do everything they say, just use what's helpful.
