Is this possible?
I want to lose 10 pounds by august 22nd. I'm going to eat really healthy. Mainly fruits and vegetables. Yogurt will be a treat. I'm going to walk 6 miles probably 4 times a week and I have a swimming pool I swim in daily. Is that possible? Should I do more?
I'm trying to target my stomach area. Is there any swimming exercises I can do that will help that?
The walk I do is in the park and is very hilly in some points. Does that help stomach area?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
There is really no exercise that is going to "target" your stomact area. If you are looking to lose fat quickly than look to doing some form of high interval training 2 to 3 times per week.
As for as eating goes you mainly need to which how many calories you are eating. Since I dont know your height or current weight I really cant give you a ball park number. Also try reading this article on <a href="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) stairs</a>.
Hope this helps.

It's probably possible to lose 10 pounds in two weeks, but it isn't the healthiest thing to do. Losing 2-3 pounds per week is ideal, anymore than that and it really puts too much stress on your body. You can do it, but you are more likely to gain it back afterward as well.
just swimming laps in a pool will definitely help lose weight, swimming burns a lot of calories, but won't really target one area.
Do crunches where you touch your right elbow to your left knee and left elbow to your right knee. Lay on your side and move your leg straight up over the side of your body simultaneously with your arm. (you'll feel it in your sides, this targets your waistline).
also, try laying down in the crunch position, but instead lift your legs up and move them as if you were pedaling on a bike. lift up your head and try to pull in your stomach while doing this.
walking on an incline helps your calves/butt/thighs but doesn't do much specifically for your stomach.
good luck!

Sit-ups, crunches and leg lifts will work this area.
Also, standing with legs shoulder width apart, hold a towel up over your head stretched between your hands. From that position, tilt right, stand up straight, tilt left, stand up straight, SLOWLY. This will work the muscles on the sides.
While you're in the pool do some oridinary exercises, like jumping jax, pushing against all that water will give you a good workout.
The walking and hills will work your legs and butt but is good general aerobic activity that is important for weight loss.
Can it be done? Probably, but do this at a leval you can sustain after August.
Start your mornings with the biggest glass of icewater you can get.
Good luck. :-)
