If you lose weight too fast, you run the risk of getting stretch marks and saggy skin. If you are overweight, 10 pounds might not be too much to lose, but if you are in a healthy weight range, you should only lose about 2 pounds per week. Your skin needs time to adjust. It's easy to lose the weight, but you can't get rid of marks! I always recommend joining Weight Watchers, so you can track everything and get motivation. If not, count your calories and work out as much as you can, and drink lots of water.

follow this plan and you should lose some good weight
start watching your daily calorie intake, eat 6-8 small meals a day( fruit and veggies are good) The average person burns a little more than 2000 calories a day so try to only in take maybe 1500
do a cardio workout for 30 min every morning before breakfast, and get your sleep Getting 6-8 hrs a day can really make a difference
drink a lot of water but stay away from Gatorade and Powerade because they have calories
if you are not into heavy exercise like running, walk
walking five miles a day would do wonders
good luck

I have lost a total of 120 pounds so far.
I lost 105 pounds in my first 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

It is not that difficult to lose 10lbs in 2 weeks if you follow a strict low carb diet and eat foods with low G index.
Eat least 7 servings of fruits and vegetables, nuts, low GI breads and cereals, more legumes, fish, lean read meats, chicken and low fat dairy.
