well, exercising every day until then wouldn't hurt (just don't go mad and then be all sore for a photo shoot!!) but I don't know how much it will do in a week... if anything, you've only gained an imperceptible amount of weight over the holidays and you're just sensitive to it b/c you personally are aware of it... it probably won't translate on camera.
That being said, the easiest body part to tone fast is your arms, so if that gives you incentive, do a lot of push ups (no girlie ones either, the real thing--LOL) and weight lifting/strength training (small weights are fine)... you'll see a fast difference. I always work on my arms before a big night out because it's so easy to tone them up.

HTH! good luck... don't worry about it!

If you greatly reduce your sodium intake, you will lose a lot of water weight...but as soon as you go back to normal , it will come back on. This is only for a VERY temporary fix.

drink lots of water and cut out salt and sugar (these two are evil) eat lots of fresh pineapple and kiwis if you can, they are yummy and help you detox fast

I don't know if this trick actually works, but you can try (preferably before your photo shoot, just to see if it does work lol) but if you have any cellulite, you can spray hair spray on it (legs, butt...) and it will create illusion of smoother skin. It's a model trick I heard somewhere. lol

Do you all have Evian in the UK? If so, drink that water! For some reason it really seemed to detox well.

Also, if you need to look instantly toned (only lasts 1/2 hour or so though) do some sit-ups before you start filming. Like, 20 or 30? Be sure you come all the way up, too!
