Hi everyone!
Im 18 5ft7 and 68 kgs, desperately trying to get down to 63 kgs in 5 weeks time so im ready for my holiday in sunny Florida! Would love to have a great group of friends online to help motivate each other! x

You're already a healthy weight for your height, so a 0.5-1 lb per week loss is more realistic. You're not going to lose 2 lbs per week without doing something to your body that you'll regret.

Eat a modest deficit, drink plenty of water, lift weights 3 times a week and do cardio twice a week, and you'll lose some weight and inches in time for your holiday. It probably won't be 5kgs, but it'll be something and you'll still look great on your holiday. More importantly, you'll feel great as well.
