by the way, if i have ten weeks til school starts, would it be unhealthy to lose 40 pounds? because that would be around 4 pounds a week, and the recommended weight loss for a week is like 2 to 3 pounds, so 4 wouldn't be too bad, right?

drink as much water as you can, about 20 min before meals,it fills you up. BTW, to lose that much weight in a week, (after the first dieting weeks), you would have to eat like under a 1000 cal a day or be VERY VERY acitve.

just be careful. it sounds like you're setting yoursel;f up for failure. maybe set a smaller goal like 3 pounds a week at the highest. then be extremely active and eat very healthily. add lots of veggies and lean meat into your diet and less sodium!
