You want to LOSE weight. You want your pants to be LOOSE.

I think drinking infused water is a great idea - especially if you don't like the taste of water on its own.

Detox anything in general doesn't work....and even if it did and you lost a ton of fat..what you're really doing is releasing all the toxins that were stored in your fat into your blood stream all at once! No good.

Cut calories. Workout. Drink more.

Good luck!
I'm sure no one here meant to attack you...and if they did...meh...just another faceless person on the internet to ignore.

Yes, some people are making fun of you because you asked a question that indicates you don't know as much as they do.

Don't worry about them.

Instead, focus on what ndj said:

if you lost a pound a week between now and may you could probably drop about 12 ...but it is going to take calorie deficit, accurate logging, and hard work ..and not some magical detox water..

I would suggest putting your stats into MFP for 1 pound per week loss and eat to that number, and get a food scale and weigh/log/measure everything.

As a fellow beach goer, I would also suggest a heavy lifting program so you can rock that bikini...:)

5x5 and stronglifts are great programs.

I've bolded the essential parts -- count your calories and do strength training.

If you don't know how many calories you should be eating, try the Scooby Calculator and read the stickies in the General Weight Loss section.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with drinking infused water and it's certainly healthier than soda or juices. I can't say whether the detox claims are true or not, but I love drinking lemon water (water with lemon slices, or lime or peppermint or cucumber or all of it!). And drinking enough water is said to be very helpful to weight loss, so go ahead and drink it! Just make sure you don't add any sugar to it.

Because then it would be lemonade?
