Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Ok I dont agree with the answer below. 12 pounds in two weeks is totally not recommended. Not even if you are extremely obese should one lose 6 pounds a week. Even for those cases (and I am assuming you are not one of those) one can stretch the max healthy weight loss approximation of 2lbs/ week to maybe 3 or 4.
The problem with those kinds of "fast" results is that they typically involve high proportions of muscle loss or water loss. The former is really counter productive because you mess your metabolism and become very prone to weight gain. Remember it is not just about numbers. Its about what those numbers represent. If you lose 6 pounds and 4 are muscle mass... you are not making better progress (on the contrary)
Now I will sum up a few very basic things you can do below, however I answered a weight loss question in great detail a day or two ago. Check out my answer here:

Exercise wise, the key is cardio. Resistance training is great as well, but cardio is essential. Try to keep it at moderate intensity for over 30 minutes. If you have time and energy work in other kinds of exercises as well.
Eliminate your empty calories from anything with sugar added to it and excessive amounts of saturated fats.
Aim to eat 4-5 small balanced meals a day, focusing on what you are about to do, not what you have just done. Ask yourself, what am I going to do in the next 4 hours, and then eat accordingly.
Any late evening eating should be void of carbs and primarily contain a lean protein source.
Stick to wholesome, non processed foods. Moderate your daily carb intake, minimise saturated fats (from animal products) and base meals around a good lean protein source.
Good luck.
