best way to lose 5-10 pounds fast!

what is the best way to lose 5-10 pounds in 30 days. i am 5'1 and weight 115 now. my goal is 108. i need to lose it and tone up before i go to florida for a month on july 30.

5'1" and 115 is perfect. if you lose anymore it could be UNHEALTHY!

I suggest that you do some cuircuit training. It doesnt sound like you really need to lose weight but that you want to tone up and you can do that by exercising.

Jack up your cardio, cut your calories, and, for God's sake, don't go below 1200 a day (or at least don't post about it if you do).

Also, to tone up, try some core-strengthening exercises, like yoga.

Well I think 10 pounds is unrealistic if you want to do it in a healthy way. However 5lbs can be done.

I am the same weight as you and height and know that if I lose more than 5lbs a month it could be unhealthy and I would probably have a tough time keeping it off. I have lost 5 lbs this month (give or take) and did it by eating between 1200 and 1600 calories a day. I cannot maintain 1200 at all times and actually find when I eat a bit more I lose more. Also I am keeping active and workout although not like crazy (if I did I would need to up my calories which is my goal for the next and final 5lbs).

So bottom line is, use the tools here for allowance and expenditure and simply count calories (keeping the calories you do it relatively healthy and in balance).

I am also 5'1, and I agree with nycgirl. You are already at a healthy weight, and it will be very difficult to lose 10 pounds in a month. I am only losing about 1/2 pound a week, if I am lucky. I am also at a healthy weight, and 115 is my goal weight. I would just work on toning and cardio, and eat a healthy diet. 5 pounds is reasonable, but it will be difficult.

thanks alot guys

but i used to be 105 less then 3 months ago

im going on vacation for a month and i know i will gain weight on it so i want to lose weight before i go

i agree so i will only lose 5 pounds and then just strickly tone up
