Suggestions for the last few pounds of weight loss.?

So, I've been in a weight loss challenge. I have 2.5 weeks to go and have had some good results up until now (about 2-3 pounds per week). I'm at the gym working out 4-5 days a week for about an hour each time combining cardio and weights. I have modified my diet: cutting out alcohol, sugar, and refined carbs. Lots of vegetables and lean protein. At the very end of the challenge, I'd like a little "kick" just to boost my numbers.

Since this has been an actual lifestyle change as opposed to a "quick fix," I am confident that most of the weight will stay off and that I will continue to shed pounds (ideally, 25 more).

But, just for the purpose of this final weigh in, what have been your experiences in "quick fix" weight loss methods?

Thanks for your suggestions!

To clarify--I will be continuing with the same process that has gotten me this far; just without the direct external challenge. What I need are some suggestions for losing a pound or two (or more?) extra (even if they are only temporary and maybe not even all that related to my fitness. There is actual cash on the line here (I win several hundred dollars if I have the highest percentage of weight loss over the course of the two month challenge..

I completely understand your question. For a :quick" weight loss, you have to do what wrestlers and fighters often have to do to "make weight". Shed the water weight. I'm willing to bet you stay well hydrated during your workouts and that is quite important. In this instance though, you want to go crazy with your cardio... maybe do your normal treadmill/elliptical and follow it up with a good spin class followed right back with your treadmill again. No topping off your water though. You have to sweat it out and not replace it. Change out of your sweaty clothes for your weigh-in... make sure you are wearing as light of clothes as possible. You'll be surprised how much water weight you have. Once you've weighed, start re-hydrating. Good Luck and congratulations on the effort you've put in to your challenge.

Make sure that you get enough sleep. You can't lose weight if you don't get enough sleep.
