Weight loss help

[devidmike]

I'm 5'4" and 149 lbs. I want to lose 10-15 lbs in the next 3 months. My diet is good (no fast food, lots of water, etc.) But just for a guideline, about how many calories should I be getting per day to reach this goal?

Exercise is the main part I need help with. I can't get a gym membership right now, or buy any expensive equipment, so that's not an option. So basically I have running, basketball, biking, jump roping, and other stuff like that available. How much of each of those specific activates should I do to burn a good amount of fat each day?

Yeah, everybody says 45 mins a day, but I mean how many miles running/biking, how many jumps with a jumprope, etc. I want to get a specific number.

And like I said, I can't really afford to buy stuff like adjustable weights now, so what is a good weight of dumbells I can start off with.

What really matters most is how many calories burned and its pretty hard to figure out with out monitoring your heart rate or a calorie counter. If you can get your self a heart rate monitor and focus on doing exercise for 45min-1hour in between 100-130bpm on an empty stomach and follow this diet:http://www.justaddmuscle.com/MUSCLEH....php?t=64.Then you should have no problem getting as lean as you want.
