how can i lose 5-10 pounds in two weeks?

I have a treadmill and a pilates dvd, but i want to eat regular food, im puerto rican like rice, beans, pork, chicken, potato salad, also im not a fan of veggies! but i love fruit!!! so what do u recomend?

I feel like i am eating too much food!?

I try to follow the guidelines set for healthy eating but it is so much food. this is what i eat everyday usually. and i am 5’5 103lbs 20yrs old and female. I go to the gym everyday, i lift 3 days a week, cycle 3 days and run 3 days with some light yoga and pilates.
Breakfast:1/2 c old fash. oatmeal with 1 c soymilk and 1/2 c blueberries, 1tbs flax seed and a 4 egg white omelet with spinich, tomatoes and pepers. Mid morning i will have either some fruit or vegetable with cottage cheese or string cheese and maybe some almonds. Lunch is a whole wheat wrap with no sauce just veggies and turkey with a cup of homemade lentil soup and piece of fruit. In the afternoon i will have either some fruit and a prot shake if i lifted weights or i will eat the cottage/cheese veg mix with carots and celery. at dinner i have tons of veggies with no sauce and chicken or fish. i try not to snack before bed but if i do it is either dairy/soy nuts/or veggies. But isn’t that alot to eat?

Help Toning up w/o diet?

I want to tone up and define my legs and butt mostly. I also would like to define my arms more w/o bulk. I eat 2-3 times a day, a regular portion, and 1 serving of food. (no special meals only what i want) I am not a candy or junk eater. I was wondering if i work out 4 times a week and jog 3 times out of that week with 3lbs weights, will i tone and define my body w/o muscle bulk in the next two months. Any suggestions?

Oh yea i do pilates 4 times out that week also.

i need to lose 50 pounds in 6 months. I hate exercise (gyms) and diet food. Is there hope for me?

I’ve tried many different approaches, and I’m at the point where Im sooo confused and frustrated! If anyone has achieved a successful weight loss, in a reasonable time, PLEASE let me know. I love to walk, and would be into trying yoga, and free weights… but I hate going to sweaty gyms.

As far as food – I love sushi, peanut butter, fruit, veggies, pasta, seafood, rice, and chicken.

Oh, yes, some dark chocolate is good too.

I don’t drink (alcohol) and stay away from soda and diet drinks.

I know water is a good thing, but have trouble drinking 100 ounces a day, but will do it if it is neccesary for weight loss.

Thanks for your help!

How can I start eating again?

For a few years, I was what is commonly known as anorexic, and I can’t find a way back to food. No matter how I try to tell myself I won’t gain weight or that eating won’t make me fat, I still end up getting less than 1,000 calories a day.

I’m taking a Pilates class, and I have a feeling I should be getting more than 1,000 calories when I have a class like that a few days a week.

Any tips (and anything but harassment, really) would be appreciated.
