Losing weight..i need some great tips...asap!!?

i have a wedding to go to in may and i need to look awesome!! so i need some tips on losing weight...please!!
Answer:
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
eat healthier, eat smaller portions, take vitamins, run atleast three times a week, cut out at much snack food as possible, and if you cant, put a healthier substitute in for it. When your laying around not doing anything, do crunches.
Common sense, self control and excercise! I love pilates for toning and plain old walking/running with my dogs for cardio.
I have found that eating less carbs and more protein helps me lose weight. I keep smoked almonds all the time for when I want something to snack on. I use spaghetti squash in place of pasta for lots of meals. Make sure and eat a healthy breakfast with plenty of protein. Frozen blueberries are a good snack...and of course more water and less diet drinks...
