I am 5'5 and i weigh 130-----I really want to lose 5 pounds by May 13(my bday) is there any way that i can do this? Is it highly possible? I dont eat that much to begin with and for the past week iv been exersizing for 45 min. a day. Yesterday I had 2 pieces of whole wheat bread for breakfast----two handfulls of pistachios---A LOT OF WATER---2 (Small oatmeal cookies)----and then i had a big grilled chicken salad(But it had gorgonzola cheese in it) and i gained weight--i think the reason for this is because i ate late---can anyone think of any improvements to this diet? So far today all iv eaten is a whole wheat bagel and a lot of water---and for dinner im going to have wonton soup---and shrimp(without the sauce)---does anyone have advice for a better diet? maybe its because i ate so late at night???Help!!

Don't forget water! blessings ~Annie
