Weight loss help

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?

You can do as much of those activities as you like. However, losing fat is going to be a function of your diet.

How many grams of fat, protein, and carbohydrates are you taking in a day? No percentages please. Are you gaining, losing, or maintaining with this calorie intake?

If you do not know the answer to the first question, please sign up for free at FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal and report back with about three days of your average macronutrient intake values.

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.
