Hello! I'm 18, and started coming here when I was 16 like you. We're close in body weight/goals, so I can understand where you are coming from.

Portion control is a great way to start, if you eat too much all the time, try to cut back, then, just exercise and get moving. Then, once you start with those small steps start adding more, choosing better meals, less fatty foods, more water, that kind of thing.

I also suggest heading over to the Weight Loss Diary section and starting a diary there. In your blog there you can rant, praise, tell, express yourself and get support from a lot of people who are going through the exact same thing that you are going through right now!

Welcome again and good luck!

I'm not 100% sure, but i've heard that lots of protein will help build muscles (and weightlifting.. heh). There's a thread on what to do if you want to lose weight, somewhere on this forum.
I personally like to count my calories. Lots of people don't like to do this cuz its too confusing or whatnot. Just look at the nutrition guide in the back of your food item, or search the web. Don't forget to keep the portion-size in check. After a few days you'll get the hang of it.
I try to eat 1500-1600 calories a day. I will eat a piece of chocolate or a cookie or something, but as long as my total calories for the day doesn't surpass 1500-1600, I'm cool.
I don't know if that helped. Good luck on your weight-loss/muscle building journey!
