Do some form of cardio, drink lots of water, don't eat many "empty calories," this is mostly processed fattening junk like chips, candy, doughnuts, etc., those things don't fill you up. Eat lots and lots of fruits and veggies. Get a balanced diet. Eat breakfast- protein in the morning is wonderful for keeping you fuller longer.

I can't say much more than that without knowing your stats (height, weight, age) but it is normally not recommended to lose more than 1-2 lbs a week. If you take what you burn in a day (with exercise) and minus 500 calories from that, you will lose 1 lb a week. Everything you burn over what you take in results in weight loss so the greater the calorie defecit the greater the loss. This site has some great tools, I suggest you check them out!

Congratulations on upcoming birthday! Here's your goal for 24 days: No junk food, no pop. Concentrate on eating one healthy meal at a time, you can do it! Just one meal at a time...... It's not about the fastest weight loss, but giving your growing body what it needs. Hmmm, let's see what will you gain? Shinier hair, clearer skin, clearer mind, and a feeling of accomplishment. 

Can you do that? I bet you can. And we are all here ready to cheer you on!

 

How much are you trying to lose?  How much do you weigh now?  What is your height?  Do you know how much food you're eating daily in terms of calories?  How active are you?
Try cutting heavy carbs like bread and pasta, they bloat me a lot, can be the difference between my jeans being tight on my tummy and them sitting on my hips. Also cut your salt to much salt causes your body to retain water in order to dilute it, therefore taking the salt out means this excess  water can go. Loosing a lot of fat in 24 days will be tough but you can certainly make a massive difference with excess water
