Weight Training Exercises for women
1. Squats
2. Deadlifts
3. Bench
4. Chins
5. OHP
6. Dips

These are the only lifts you will ever need. Though really, since you're probably not looking to gain huge amounts of muscle anyway, you could just do squats, get dat ass, and call it a day. If you want a more balanced physique, though, you're going to want to do all of those lifts.

By the way, please disregard all the "buy these DVDs and books" posts, because every bit of information you need is readily available on the internet for free.

"How do I do squats?"

Youtube: proper squat form

"What's a good routine?"

Google: beginner weight training routine

You get the idea.

Stopped working out!
In the words of Nike:

Just do it.

Seriously though, just start going at it again. You're a rational being that can will yourself into doing things, yes? If you really want to start exercising, then do it. Or if you don't, then don't! If you think exercising is hard or no fun, you don't have to do it. No one is making you. But a year from now when you're 30 pounds heavier, you'll sure wish you would have started today.

Ready to lose it!
I highly recommend you do this program, which is basically low intensity interval training: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I've been in your shoes (trying to lose weight as a teenager) and failed every time because I had set no goals. I go out to run and don't even know what I'm running for or how long I should be running, so I just stop when I start to feel a little tired. If you have a program, you can motivate yourself and push yourself past boundaries because you have a reason to - you need to run for 3 minutes, and you get tired at 2 minutes, but you continue because you're supposed to run for 3. Whereas with no plan you stop at 2 minutes because why not?

From someone who couldn't even run half of a mile without stopping who can now run 3+ with ease, I highly recommend this program. If you have just a little discipline you will be amazed with the results.
