I lied to my parents about my grades, and I'm going to confess now...I need advice.?

In 5 days, I have a counselor meeting about college plans which my parents will attend too. I have been hiding my grades from my parents for the past 2 semesters, and have been lying that I have a 3.5 GPA when I have a 3.1. We have an online gradebook that my parents could check but they never do, so I used Adobe Dreamweaver to edit my grades and showed it to them when they wanted to see it.

At that time, it seemed like such a good idea. They didn't suspect a thing. I didn't feel guilty at all.

The day before the counselor meeting I am going to tell them everything. How I lied to them about the grades, and how I feel terrible about it. And I do. The guilt's killing me right now, and I feel so stupid. I was so immature....and now I'm getting remorseful.

I finally feel how stupid my actions were, instead of being honest, I lied. I'm a coward. I never thought about the concequences. I was shortsighted. Instead of facing the concequences then, I delayed it, and now not only are my grades not that good but I lied to my parents, who I never lied to before.

I need tips on how to confess to them. I'm freaking out right now, out of guilt and fear. Whenever I meet my parents now, I have a really hard time not breaking down. I want to enjoy my last few days before breaking out the news.
I know lying is wrong and I'm an idiot for doing it, please don't mention that, but I REALLY want to make it up to them, I am sincere, I am extremely sorry, but I need to convey it to them.

I'm 16.

Thank you.
