    Yes sure, if you don't mind the prospect of saggy skin and piling the weight back on and feeling exhausted and weak through lack of fuel, go ahead!

    5lbs is probably more realistic. ;/ And you'd still have to work your butt off. But if you pick up lots of strength training, you might be able to tone up enough that it looks like you lost more than whatever it is you lose :) So it's something to consider.

    Thats basically 5 pounds a week... which is not healthy or safe at all.

    How about you find an outfit that fits you well now and wear that? You'll look and feel better that way.

    One possible short term way is to cut your sodium intake.

    I'm not sure what you normally eat or drink, but if you consume a lot of sodium in your normal diet you may be retaining a lot of weight in water. So assuming you could get rid of that 5-7 lbs and lose 2-3 lbs naturally, you may hit your goal.

    Don't cut sodium too low though or you risk cramping...and know that it's onlly temporary because as soon as you go back to consuming sodium like you use to it will come back on.

    Anyway, just an idea...
