How to lose 5lbs fast

Hey does anyone have any ideas on how to lose 5lbs in about a week? I'm the matron of honor in my cousin's wedding and my dress has already been let out to the max and I've since gained a few pounds. I need to lose about 5lbs by the end of this week. I'm currently on Alli but I haven't noticed any changes much yet. How about the drinking water thing? Or no carbs? I just need to lose it for my fitting this weekend and maintain it til the 21st. After I'll go back to slow and steady dieting but I need to do something so I don't ruin my cousin's wedding pictures and distract her guests by being that fat bridesmaid who's about to bust a seam in her dress. :(

    Eliminate most salts, drink a lot of water up to 48 hours ahead and double up on the full torso Spanx! Can't guarantee, but it is what I'd try.

    Cut the carbs and drink tea with no cal sweetener and lots of water..

    Alli and formal dress shouldn't be used in the same conversation :laugh:

    I actually haven't had any problems with it at ALL. I've been warned and I've been anxiously waiting for it to kick in but nothing. I've dropped a pound or two but no emergency runs. lol

    If you can get your hands on some itworks wraps, I highly suggest them.
