Exercise balls are great for your abs. Personally, I would go with Kickboxing, Pilates, and Yoga. It is unbelievable how quickly you will see results with Pilates. Expect sore abs for a while, but within a week you will notice how much stronger they are.
It is possible to lose 10 lbs by the end of May in a healthy way. Two pounds a week is considered healthy.
Kickboxing is good cardio workout, which will get your heart rate up and the fat coming off. The Pilates will help tone your tummy, and the Yoga is good for flexibility and legs.
Do not overdo the diet. Don't crash diet, just cut down on portions and choose lower-calorie foods when possible. Try to eat whole-grains or other foods with a lot of fiber that help you feel full longer.
You've got seven weeks, so aim for about 1-1/2 lbs a week.
Oh, and drink a lot of water!
BTW, how many calories you need to maintain your weight depends on your metabolism, so it will be trial and error!
