I hate to sound like a shill for Weight Watchers, but it really does work. My first two weeks on the program, I lost 12 pounds. Granted, I was heavier than most people and it came off really fast, but men generally lose weight faster than women do.

But if WW isn't your thing, the best thing to do is cut back on portion sizes, exercise, drink LOTS of water (some people suggest 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water), and cut out alcohol for the two weeks you're trying to lose. If you do this, chances are you might be able to lose those 10 lbs, but you have to be really disciplined - no cheating!
