Well I think you will get a lot of replies since there are many with the same problem!
Exercise is crucial. A person who doesn't exercise would have to eat 500 calories less to lost the same amount of weight. Please try something- aerobics, sports, walking, treadmill, a gym work out with a friend, its more fun and you can motivate each other.
Eating healthy is a real challenge. So find a way of eating for life that you can live with.
Tips
a) don't buy junk food. If its not there you can't have it.
B) snack on healthy foods.
C) don't dont dont dont deprive yourself of anything please. I know from experience when this happesn you will end up bingeing more...
D) eat three meals a day, if you eat less, your metabolism will be screwed up and later you may gain weight.
E) look in the mirror once a day to say something positive about yourself.
F) accept yourself as you were made- you are a beautiful and special on the inside, there is only one of you!!

Also remember eating healthy and exercising are things you have to keep doing not just until you lose weight.
I'm sorry you feel this way right now, the road to thin won't be that easy unfortunately but with willpower you can do it and you will look back and be proud of yourself!! :d :)
take care, good luck to you and keep posting, there are many on these forums who have the same problem as you and would love to get to know you and help.

Ps- also I live in america, I don't know what 13 stone is- how many pounds is that? I just went by what you said about being overweight.
Sorry this is so long.

I believe I have the will power to go through with it and will take your advice.
Would I be right to set myself a target to try and reach in a certain amount of time or would that be wrong

Yeah goals are always good to have and work toward. It might be some kind of motivation for you. Just remeber to make them realistic.
Remember a Dr. Could give you a lot better advice than me, I am a teengaer :)
