    You are not going to lose weight in 5 weeks. Not enough to really make a difference in how you look. So, buy a couple of cute clothes that flatter your current body shape and size, and enjoy your trip.
    On the long run, count your calories to see where you are at on average, for a week or so. Then set as goal whatever you are eating minus 300-500. See how things go within the next weeks. If you are not losing, lower more. If you are losing too fast, increase your goal a bit.

    I've been eating pretty good for almost a month. No soda junk food candy sugars etc..... I've been trying to walk also. Down about 7 pounds.
