Hey HF,
Im 16 years old 6'2 and about 260 Lbs. I checked and that considered obese. I cant have this shit. Ive been procrastinating(? Real word) about losing weight for a while. Now Im ready. The odd thing is I dont look 260 Lbs. Most people guess Im 180 - 200 most of the time but whatever. So Im writing this after I just ran 2 miles on my treadmill. All Ive got atm is a treadmill and 2 35 Lbs dumbbells. Im aware I need to eat better but,I dont know whats healthy to eat. So, Im asking you guys. What should I eat and what should I do to lose weight? Also I plan on losing weight then adding muscle. Any links on stuff I can buy to eat healthily. Its possible for me to take my lunch to school, so I wouldnt mind that. Thanks HF.

It's not even about eating healthy. It's about eating less than your caloric requirements. True eating certain foods will unbalance certain scales (vitamins, minerals, cholesterol, etc) but that's all irrelevant when it comes to losing weight. It's just easier to keep that intake level lower if you don't eat high caloric foods.

So 1000 calories a day good? Or should I eat more or less than that?

[tldr]

if you just eat less your body will think bad times are coming, and after that when back to normal consume, you will gain fat. called yoyo effect.
trick is, stay at your kcal consume and workout more than you consume. got that? :) like eat 2,5k kcal and then burn 3k or even more.(dont know if much more is still healthy)

Either do what @Honeybowl said, just keep eating the same, and work off more than you consume.

Or you can calculate what your current body's caloric requirement is and just eat a couple hundred cals under that. I can't say exactly how much you need to drop it by, but when I cut, I eat ~300-400 under and I still maintain most of my mass, while dropping fat percentage.

Calculate your TDEE, and drop about 500 off that a day. Then use myfitnesspal to count calories, but be sure to include everything. You should be tracking calories because even with additional calorie expenditure, you could end up consuming more to compensate. You'll lose about 1lb of fat a week with this.

How much soda and junk you consume? I've lost 30 pounds in the past two months. The first thing I tell people is to cut out the garbage. As the old saying goes: garbage in, garbage out.

running 2 hours on a treadmill is not gonna do jack shit. Drop your calories, try to only eat vegetables and fruits. Try to do HIIT cardio everyday.

I havent had a soda in a while. Maybe one soda every 2 weeks.

Honestly if you stop eating (but not completely stop) you will drop that weight so fast.
An amazing drug you can easily get is called Adderall, who know you may actually find you need it. You will lose weight as it makes you no hungry, it also helps you focus.
I personally have ADD, I don't know about you.

Check out "Shredz". They basically make you shredded. Haha. Nah but they help the body convert mass into a more leaner muscle. It also will help you not get hungry so often, therefore helping you lose weight. Lots of guys take this stuff and it cuts them up, giving them that "OMG" appearance.
