Ways to lose pounds fast

Any good ways to motivate myself to exercise and lose a few pounds?

I'm 14, 5'1" and weigh 150 pounds. Yea I know, not good. I'm not so worried about the way I look, actually quite satisfied with the way I look. I just don't like getting on that scale and seeing the weight. When I played basketball I lost about fifteen pounds but then gained it back when the season ended. Now I'm just looking for a good way to lose some weight and feel healthy again. I tend to make out schedules for exercise but then forget about them and don't do anything. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

1. this is what i do.... stand naked in front of the mirror like when you are getting ready... that was enough motivation for me to loose my 20 extra pounds. good luck!
2. The best way to lose weight is doing exercise. The best type of exercise for weight loss is something you ENJOY DOING and are likely to continue doing - not just while losing weight but also as you maintain weight in the long term. Your initial fitness goal should be to do 30 minutes of exercise each day. Thereafter, gradually increase this (ideally) to about 60 minutes of exercise per day. The best combination of exercise is a mixture of aerobic and weight/strength training (and stretching). Aerobic and weight/strength training exercises both assist weight loss but in different ways.
