How to lose 10 pounds and keep it off.
How I did it: I didn't really go on any diets. I just ate what I wanted, but watched the portion sizes. I became more active and found an exercise routine that I like, which I stuck with. It's mostly just becoming more active and eating smaller portions that's done it for me. I haven't really even stuck to an exercise routine any more, as there are some days I don't even exercise...I will just take walks down the street and dance or something to get exercise. To get the weight off though I did stick to the routine. Now, I just stay active more and that seems to be keeping it off along with the smaller portion sizes.
Lessons & tips: It's more about portion sizes then it is really about what you eat. You can eat what you like and still lose weight if you downsize the portions. Eliminating foods from your diet doesn't really work because you just end up craving those things. It's better to eat what you like and just watch the portions. Also, snacking at night is not good, because that will cause you to gain weight.
With exercise it's important to stick with a routine. Find something you like that will give you exercise. If you enjoy the exercise you're more likely to stick with it. Also, just being more active then usual will help you lose weight too. You can take walks, take the stairs, park farther away at the store, and find activities you will enjoy like bike riding or maybe a sport you can do. Just anything to be active during the day.
It's important to just take it one day at a time and not be so focused on the overall goal. It's a daily decision you have to make and just set your mind to it. Then just make it something you work at each day. If you mess up and eat more or don't exercise for a day, don't beat yourself up over it. Just set your mind to doing better the next day. Then when you do well, think of it as, "Okay, I did well yesterday and I want to stick with it, so I'm going to do well today." and that's really what helped me stick with it. It's like I did this one day and then two and so on and kept thinking that I stuck with it this many days in a row and want to keep it going.

I have lost 1 complete pound this week. Its my first week and I haven’t done as well as I have hoped. I guess I’m just starting out so maybe this will get better. I have started to cut out snacking and I’m eating healthier, so lets see if that helps. I run every day for at least 15 min, but I would love to get up to 30 min for sure.

I haven’t lost a pound….Something has to change soon!
Last summer I weighed 128 lbs and after college hit i ballooned to 140…I miss my clothes being comfortable and not tight so I want to lose the weight I gained. Sadly, I have an addiction to ice cream and junk so its going to be tough. Still, I’ve been trying to exercise every day. I ride my bike around town and to the gym, and I try to do a substantial work out. I hope this goal will keep me motivated and I will keep you guys updated….i’m always looking for advice :)
the 10 pounds are still off! i’ve made a new goal to get to a much healthier BMI. another 5-10 pounds to go, but the first goal was met! yay!
I’m 5’6, 135 lbs. It’s not like I must get 10 pounds off, but I’d love to be 125 or 120 again. And it’ll be a little easier for my boyfriend to lift me up :P
Keeping it off is going to be the tricky part! A couple of years ago i lost 20 but within six months it was all back. I’ve been losing weight the last couple months but i need to lose about 10 more to get to where i want to be. Currently on a plateau which is frustrating as hell…
I am acutally satisfied with my body. it just needs a little toning. i admit i’ve gained a lot of weight. i’m about 130 or something. i like the curves but… i really want to tone up and i can’t do so without losing some weight. idk. well see how this works out.
