Is it possible to lose ten pounds in such a short time, such as a couple weeks?

Depends : It is depends on how much weight you have at this time.For example someone who weighs 200 lbs can lose 10 lbs in2 weeks with good exercise an diet control, but if you has less to lose like 50 lbs, you need to lose slowly.It is better because you do not want to starve your body.Son you will gain back after a while.Remember it takes 3200 calories to lose 1 lb. Moderation is the key.

Yes: It is possible to lose weight fast by starving or other drastic dietary meausres, but it may not be the safest way to lose weight - when you let up on the drastic changes, usually you reverse progress. Initial weight loss is water weight, and then when things slow down rapidly people get frustrated with their diet plan. Change lifestyle with elimination of sugar and minimization of carbs!
