Is This Possible?

Hello,
I'm trying to lose 12-15 pounds so that I can look fit and toned for my trip down south near the end of April. (I do plan on continuing to eat healthy and exercising after my trip as well). The most of the weight that I want to lose is on my stomach. Ive recently started running 6 times a week, and I also do a number of other toning exercises. I was wondering how long it usually takes to see results? Also are there any exercises besides sit ups and crunchies that will quickly flatten my tummy and get rid of love handles?
Also, I'm 20 years old, 5"4, weigh 125 and I've also recently started eating healthy as well..and not eating any junk so hopefully this will help me lose it faster..
Thanks :)
 
6 times a week may be overkill, you will want at least a space with 2 consecutive days of rest so your muscles can recover (exercise makes micro tears, 2 days to heal and get stronger).
Log the actual food intake on somewhere like fitday.com so you can make sure you are eating less calories than you are using which will ensure the weight loss. But yeah sounds like you are on the right track there in general.
At your age its probably a good idea to start on a better diet now as your metabolism starts going slower and slower as you get older lol (this is called middle age spread!)
