Answer:
Don't adopt the latest "food fad" rather than focusing on overall health. Get back to basics by choosing foods sensibly. A single food or meal won't make or break a healthful diet. Find your balance between food and physical activity. The long-term way to achieve a healthful lifestyle is to be 100% fad free. If you eat less, and exercise more, (burn more calories than you consume), you will lose weight.

Just keep at the oatmeal cookie, not eat anything the rest of the day rate, drink lots of fluids, and you'll be fine! Dont for get the excercise! that will really help

Work out. Start running - It burns a ton of calories. Make sure you are eating healthy though. You don't want to be fainting while running.

Excersize.And you don't necessarily have to limit the amount of food you eat...just make sure you eat the right foods.Try to stay away from the foods with carbs like flour tortillas and cookies. Eat foods with lots of protein - this is what I did to loose weight for an upcoming dance, and I ended up losing 5 pounds in about a month, and I'm basically the same height and weight.You probably know what kinds of foods your body responds to best, so make sure you eat the right foods that will keep your body healthy and not heavy.

Keep at the fruits and vegetables. Oh my, I cannot stress that enough. I've given in to my old diet already, and it is not good. But I am not going to focus on my mistake too much, because I need to look at the long run. Therefore, keep going to the gym after you have lost those pounds. And watch for your portions that you eat.All in all, you can eat like you did in the past, but not as much. Watch what you eat, and when you are full - drop that spoon or fork! And hit the gym as regularly as you can.

ok not eating a lot is not goin to hel[p......wat you should be doing is.....yes drink alot of water but you need to eat diffrent amounts of food each day and in diffrent times like say for instance eat 8 times a day in little portions and far apart... and you should run.. but the reason for eating like this is because, if you eat about 3000 calories one day your matabolism is goin to expect you to eat that amount the next day so ther for you eat more and less each day oyu will ther for fastin your matabolsm wich burns your calories...
good luck.. 10 pounds is not a lot and oyu have a month...

Well it all depends on how you wan to do this. The way that I look at it is do you have 10 pounds to lose? If so, do you just want to lose weight or lose fat but gain tone and definition to muscles?I have been getting into building and sculpting my body just recently. I have several different ways of doing this just with easy exercise every other day for 1 hour at a time. Target the problem areas: abs and legs as these are the areas for most people. Abs: Do pyramids of crunches. This goes as follows:
5 crunches, stand up and run in place for 10 seconds
10 crunches, repeat the running
15 crunches, repeat the running
20 crunches, run
15, run
10 run
9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 with running in between. this is a total of 120 crunches and you won't even notice it. It also works your legs.Legs: go for a long Jog/Walk. Three miles or so. do this on the in between days of the crunches. After the walk, do scissor kicks (see google for instructions). You can eat regularly through this ordeal as your body will need the carbs/protiens you injest for energy and muscle gain. The fat you have will be burned off as energy as well. Keep this up with light lifting and you will have that Spring Break goal of yours.

You'll get a zillion responses, and you'll hear lots of different approaches, but the basics would be to burn more calories (exercise) than your taking in (eating). You'll pretty much have to do both (eat well and exercise) to see the results you want by Spring Break. Here's what I've done, which is essentially keeping life basic, and you might find it helpful and achievable.-Don't starve yourself because your body will adapt and it'll be hard to shed the pounds. Eat consistently (AT LEAST 3x a day, but aim for about five small meals) to get your metabolism going. I restricted my diet to strictly veggies, fruits, and fish (or other lean white meats). Of course you can't avoid carbs like bread, but I ate them in moderation, and focused on the fruits and veggies.
-Eat til you're about 80% full. Focus on what you're eating and take your time when you eat. If you feel satisfied, not belly aching full, then you know you can survive to your next meal.
-Avoid eating in front of the TV or computer, because you may not keep track of what or how much you eat. Just be mindful of your body. Eat socially rather than alone in front of the boob tube.-Keep up with drinking lots of fluids. I drink water to make me feel full to fight off unnecessary urges. Like late night snacks after dinner.-Eat a multivitamin every day just in case you didn't have a perfect dietary day.Exercise.
1. Try to set an achievable goal, like breaking a sweat at least four days out of the week. You'll need to do some form of cardio to burn up calories. Running, playing a sport. Do whatever you want that gets your heart pumping and your body sweating. Cardio is the easiest thing you can do as an exercise, and you only really need to do it for about 20minutes a day. I just ran, or got my but to the gym. On days I didn't feel like exerting myself, I just went to the gym and did light lifting or whatever. You don't need to focus on spot training, or split body routines like a professional athlete or body builder (though it wouldn't hurt), but the simple answer and easiest way to meet your goal is to focus on doing a cardiovascular activity.2. don't forget to get your sleep in. this is just as important as the exercise and diet. The first obstacle you'll face is getting started, but once you get going, the biggest obstacle, I think, will be consistency, which is on you more than anything. What I've done to motivate myself would be to take pictures of yourself in your swimwear (using mental pictures may make your assessment bias via selective perception), buying clothes that show off your figure, and just constantly reading health magazines. Do what you can to eliminate temptations. If you can buy your own food, get rid of the junk you know you shouldn't eat (donate it or give it to a friend) and load up on food you like and know are good for you. try a new piece of friut/veggie a day if you don't know what to get. Find active and healthy role models in your friends and join them. Put yourself in the zone, and the regiment will be achievable.The answers that are worth listening to will probably be similar to my answer in making a basic healthy lifestyle change in eating healthier foods, working out and getting your sleep in. Mom and Dad were right all along, believe it or not. You'll have to pick something you think you can do, and find the motivation within yourself to stick to it for the next four weeks. Think of it this way, you only need to lose 2.5 pounds every week. As Rob Schneider would say, "You can do it!"
Good luck!
