i'm no nutritionist, and this probably isn't healthy... so just take this as me telling you not to do this although it'll work.
if you're needing to lose ten pounds for the number alone (like a wrestler trying to make weight) it is so easy... i can do it in 2 days.
here are some pointers that will guarantee you to do it in a month if the number of pounds (not neccesarily a dramatic appearance change) is what you want.
first of all... do the common sense stuff: eat less (preferably radically low on carbs for a couple weeks) and exercise more. that will take care of 5 lbs in a month easy. when it comes time to weigh-in, just don't eat for a day and a half before and take it very easy on the water. between a good diet, exercise, then cutting excess food and water weight in the last 48 hours... you could lose 15-20 lbs in that time frame (assuming you weigh close to 200 or so lbs now). time in the sauna and sleeping with extra clothes on in a dry room helps you lose pounds, literally, over night. keep in mind, athletes sometimes do permanent damage to themselves with these tactics.
i've lost 3 lbs in a hot shower to make weight before... 10lbs is nothing. but, as it has been said before... this isn't healthy. if you do it once to make a weight, don't go right back to your old habits. continue to eat well and exercise daily until you're at your ideal weight.
