Hey all, I'm 16, 5'5" and around 185lbs. I would like to lose some weight before school starts. So, that gives me about 45 days. I know I'm not going to be able to get down to me ideal weight of between 119-124 by then, but I am hoping to at least lose a little. Anyway, my question is, if I go kayaking for an hour a day one day a week, plus do some other working out/exercise(I need suggestions) how much I could lose by then?? Thanks to anyone who can help me out. :)

And changes everything it can into fat. If you can't eat 1200, i recommend having juice. It's just a drink, and it's some calories.

I'm used to eating 1000 calories max. Most of the time not even that. I don't lose weight by eating that much, so if I eat more, how am I suppose to lose weight?? Around how many calories should I eat to lose weight??
