Hello

I am going overseas to Europe in 6 weeks and need to lose about 10kg or 22 pounds so I can feel comfortable in a swim suit.

Do you think I can achieve this?

I dont intend to drop my cals below about 1300 for the day but I can do alot of exercise if required.

HELP :D
Edit: Forgot to mention, I am 25, 5'5" and about 155 pounds.

For your weight, it'd be safe if you lost no more than 2lbs a week. This means you'd lose 12 lbs max safely and you have more of a chance of keeping it off, than you do if you lost a lot more than that in the same amount of time.
 
You're sort of risking loose skin, quite badly, from rapid weight loss like that to be honest, sort of goes against what you're trying to lose it for, I want to take my top off for summer myself that said ;)
For "best" results, hit the gym with a mixture of weights and cardio (Get a program off an instructor!) And then get a diet plan from looking around here :) 1300kcal doesn't sound too bad to me for your height, but I wouldn't know really for other people.

The rest, is all about timing through the day of foods and activity, good luck!
 
Why exactly is the loose skin an issue?
Take me for example, I'm in my 4th week since starting the weight loss process and by the end of it I'll be aprox 10Kg (22lbs) lighter.
And all I do is ride my bike for 25miles daily, eat less than before (but still too much, I think) and drink lots of water and tea.
So, if someone loses more than 2lbs/week does it necessarily mean loose skin?

WOW, thank you, and congratulations! That is very motivational!!!
How long is a 25 mile bike ride? like how long does it take??? Are you male or female?

I dont think loose skin is an issue either, its not like its a big weight loss.

Glad to see you're motivated. :)
The 25 miles bike ride usually takes me at least 3 hours, depending if I ride non stop or if I might want to stop and take different breaks. But there are days when I do several series of 5/10/15 miles each.
The key is to incorporate the weight loss lifestyle in your regular lifestyle and don't think at losing the weight as some kind of chore but at something normal that you do out of reflex. :)
