Losing weight fast is not only unhealthy, it is also almost guarantee to come back so that you will possibly weight more in the end. You need to readjust your goals. Losing seven pounds in days is not realistic, and shouldn't be realistic. Going on a diet is not as realistic as changing your diet to one you can stick with, and being healthier overall. Do you really want to lose seven pounds, fit into your uniform, and then suddenly grow out of it again? Or would it be better to starve yourself indefinitely and end up with an eating disorder?

I'm probably not going to tell you stuff that you don't know already. Basically, the best way to healthy eating isn't to starve yourself but to stop eating when you are full, and to eat foods that are good for you. This is basically complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread instead of always eating white bread, not eating as much "junk food" ei fried foods, candies, anything with lots of sugar (look in the ingredient list for foods and don't eat many things that contain ingredients that end in -ose). Remember also to eat lots of protein and good fats available in nuts, fish oils, and any sort of liquid fat (ei eat margarine instead of butter). Add less sugar to your coffee (if you drink coffee) and don't eat huge amounts of foods like cheddar cheese. In general, darker, leafier vegetables and vegetables with more intense colour not only taste better but are a lot better for you than starchy vegetables like potatoes.

Basically, eat what you like but don't overdo it on empty sugars, starches, and animal fats/ processed foods. Or even eating a little less junk food and a little more whole wheat bread does make a difference. The above things are advice, and I really don't recommend you follow it completely religiously though it is one way to be healthier. Moderate exercise (30 mins 3 times a week) is also not hard to build into a schedule and makes a huge difference. Or join a team at school - it's fun and they really kick you into shape.

Whatever you do, though, don't get caught up in how much you weigh, because this is really just a number. If you feel you need to lose weight, make sure you take care of yourself and keep your focus on being healthy, not on being supermodel thin, necessarily. I just feel I have to say this because there is too much pressure out there nowadays.

Weight is not something you can pull an all-nighter to lose like a school project. One's health really does take time and effort and any shortcut will just makes you realize this the hard way. In the meanwhile, alter your uniform so it is slightly roomier, or just get a new one. Alter your clothes to fit your body and not the other way around.

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Jog in the morning, eat just 1500 cal per day, and do workouts. This is not going to be as healthy as it could be if you had not put this off until last minute. This is bad. Healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs per WEEK. I'm not going to promise you that you're going to take it all off, it's hard enough to take off 5 lbs. Sorry.
