First off it is not realistic to want to be back at 89 pounds when you are growing and developing. You are developing an adult body and to be the weight of a child is not healthy or realistic. You should not weigh at 15 what you weighed at 12 because of puberty.
Teens need at least 1800 calories a day. Your weight for height is right where it should be for an adult body so toning your body should be more of your goals along with healthy eating.
Please use your Spark Plan to help you set and reach realistic goals and to monitor your eating for meeting key nutrients. It would be great if you reviewed the Teen Nutrition Guide and the Getting Started Guide that are linked on your Start page.

First off, I don't think you need to be losing 20 pounds by any means. You are at a healthy weight, it looks like. Are you trying to get back to your underweight status?
And, even if you did want to lose 20 pounds, it would be next to impossible to do so in one month. It's only safe to lose about 1-2 pounds per week. So, it would take you AT LEAST 10 weeks to lose them.
And, you need to be eating 1,800 calories at a minimum.

really want to lose atleast 10-15 lbs. by march 1st or the latest march 21st. can i do this if i eat 1500-1700 calories a day. exercise atleast 30 min. 5 days a week(cardio) and an hour on fridays(due to soccer practice)and maybe 30-90 on sundays(due to soccer games) do some arm exercises and 100-150 crunches?and 100-200 jumping jacks. if not can someone help and give me advice as to how i can lose this weight. ty sooo much! and also i am not eating crappy foods at all...maybe a treat every now and then. btw i am 15 yrs. old (girl) 5 ft. 3ish. and around 107-110 i havent weighed myself in a couple weeks bc i feel like ia hve gained bc i use to be around 89 lbs. and was really underweight so i just kept eating and couldnt stop but now i want to take the weight off and fit back into my smaller clothes. but i also want to do it in a healthy way. so is 10 lbs. reasonable by the 1st or no? and i am not really thinking of this as a diet just more of healthy eating and exercising a lot more. but once i lose the weight i think i am just going to up my calories to atleast 1800 and exercise atleast 3 times a week which should help me maintain it. but i just wanted to know if i could lose that amount of weight in that time frame. thanx for your answers!
