8 Tips on How to Lose 10 Pounds Fast ...

Tips on how to lose 10 pounds come in handy when you want to lose weight before a special event such as your wedding, to get that bikini body before your vacation, after a particularly indulgent holidays or simply because you want to look and feel better. Did you know that to lose 10 pounds you have to burn around 32,000 calories of fat – sounds daunting doesn’t it? It sounds even more difficult if you want to lose those 10 pounds fast, but it can be done. Yes, I will be using well worn clichés such as mind over matter, will power and fail to plan, plan to fail but they are all applicable to these 8 Tips on How to Lose 10 Pounds Fast:

1 Attack is the Best Form of...Attack

When it comes to losing weight quickly the best way to do it is to attack it. If you decide to take the casual approach in losing weight then it just encourages a lack of interest later on. If you attack now then you will certainly lose weight faster, and visible results are what drives us to continue on.

2 Plan

Your body runs on a strict routine, so, naturally, the best way to lose weight is to follow a routine too. Plan your meals in advance and eat when you planned to. Eat exactly what you planned to eat and don’t substitute. Allow for snacks in your menu plan as well as balanced meals throughout the day.

3 Gyms and More

A lot of people think that the answer to the question of «**how to lose 10 pounds**?» is the gym. Well this is true, but only to an extent. The truth is that vigorous exercise is only one part of the puzzle; your whole lifestyle has to change. A few visits to the gym alone will not change your body and certainly not in the short term.

4 Cut Calories

Water weight can give someone the wrong impression when it comes to losing weight fast because this sort of weight is lost quickly, but these affects also wear off quickly. The only way to lose fat is to cut down on your calorie intake. Ignore all these fad diets because the truth is that the only way to lose weight fast is to lose the fat and that is by taking in less calories than calories expended.

5 Snack Now!

This is probably what you think got you into this mess into the first place, but one of the best answers to the question of how to lose 10 pounds fast is to start snacking healthily. Trade the chocolate for a piece of fruit and do it regularly. The problem is that if you are starving by dinner time you will eat more. With regular snacking you can avoid this.

6 Multivitamins

When making a drastic change to any diet it can be dangerous because your body will take some time to get used to it. Insure your health by taking a multivitamin so that you will be sure that you are getting all of your required nutrients. Don’t worry about multivitamins because they don’t have calories and they won’t put an extra pound on you either.

7 Don’t Pace Yourself

Some people say that you should be saving up your calories throughout the day so you can have one large meal at night. This is one of the worst ways you can go about losing weight because if you do this then you are putting yourself at risk of overeating.

8 Complacency

Complacency can destroy any weight loss journey in an instant. This is also known as the plateau effect because when a goal is achieved it is easy to think dieting is easy. It isn’t – losing weight is a working effort that needs to be maintained. Sticking to your plan is crucial.

The quest for finding a way to lose weight fast is a difficult one because there is an overload of information and much of it is contradictory. Above all, be sensible and make a plan with achievable goals. Think about the kinds of food you are eating and understand the basics of their nutritional values so you can build good meal plans. These 8 tips on how to lose 10 pounds fast are merely advice – it’s up to you to make the effort.

Zita Hey ;)
bunny I wanna lose 15 pounds so the little fat on my tunnel and thighs will be gone. Thanks for the tips!!
Anonymous I'm already pretty skinny, but I feel like if I just lose a few more pounds, il finally be able to see my abs. I,m loosening weight, but I don't see any difference in my body! Is there a chance I'm losing muscle?
- Denise How old are you? If you're not eating enough, then yes, you might be losing muscle.
Mannu Hi I am 25 yrs and weigh 75kgs...I have tried a lot of ways but unable to loose weight.. How cani Loose fast in 3-4 months as i am getting married next year...
- Denise Hi Mannu. If you are eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise, then you are on the right path to losing weight. You just have to give it time to take effect. And then you must maintain this healthy lifestyle to ensure that you stay at a healthy weight. If it is really hard for you to lose weight, then you might consider scheduling a check up with your doctor. This is just to rule out any conditions or problems that prevent you from losing weight. Thanks for dropping by All Women Stalk!
enna hi, im 36, my weight 69kgs and i 5'6 tall. i tried so many to lose weigh but its not work at all....why?
- Denise Hi Enna. Welcome to All Women Stalk! What exactly have you tried doing to lose weight?
Anonymous hi im 24 andd 183 when i didnt exercise i weighed less then i exercised for two days the scale went up 2 to 3 pounds im very frustrated im 5'4 i should be 120 i try every week by walking on the tredmill for 30 mins or 40 i also jump rope this week i started lifting weights im not always able to get to the gym
- Denise Hi there. Using the scale to measure your progress is quite tricky because your weight fluctuates a lot. (Yes, as much as 2 to 3 pounds.) I suggest that you measure yourself instead. And keep working out. You don't even have to go to the mall. You can take walks, run, do push ups and planks, follow exercise videos, etc. I know it can get frustrating since it takes a while before you see any progress, but don't give up. Thank you for stopping by All Women Stalk!
Vickky My age is 18 and i am 80 kg and my height is 5'9. my friends and surroundings teasing me. i want to lose atleast 10 kg in a month. i am going gym for past a week. I will about 500 calories a day, but no change in my weight. any food diet can i make?
- Denise Hi Vicky. You are not eating enough calories in a day. Your body thinks that you are starving so it's conserving energy. You need to eat at least 1,000 - 1,200 calories a day, but don't eat just anything. Eat healthy and natural food -- fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish, nuts; don't forget to drink lots of water. And just keep working out. You can't expect to see results in a week so don't be discouraged. Thanks for checking out All Women Stalk!
Sad Hi, I'm only 11 and I weigh somewhere near 98 pounds. I really want to lose leg fat fast, and my belly is fine. Is there a quicker way to lose leg fat?
- Denise Hi there. Welcome to All Women Stalk! I suggest that you play a sport or that you play outside with your friends. Try to stop worrying about the way your legs look. and I hope you don't start thinking about dieting. It wouldn't be healthy for you to lose any more weight.
chasity hi i am trying to loose weight for summer someone told me drink lots of water but i was wondering what other exercises can i do to help just loose my belly fat i am not super big just need to loose some after my second child
- Denise Hi Chastity. Welcome to All Women Stalk! If you're not new to working out, then you can try circuit training like Cross Fit or The 30 Day Shred. You can try biking, walking, running, or swimming paired with some strength training. Don't forget to eat healthy and to get enough sleep.
Anonymous Hey Denise, I'm trying to lose weight and running isent really my thing.. is there any other way to lose weight fast without running?
- Anonymous and i weigh 158 somthing i think and i'm like 5'5
Anonymous hi denise im asking you what i should do. im 15 but my weight is 164kgs im about 5'9 foot im transfemale so i need to lose lots of weight before i start hormones do u have a solution for me thanks.
- Transfemale hi D im 164 kilograms or 360.8 pounds. ive started drinking lots of water, but the problem is exercise, im very self-concious so i want to ask if i jump rope,run on the spot and dance for 2 hours a day whilst climbing lots of stairs will help me lose enough weight. see thing is ppl stare at you when you swim or run. so would the indoor sports i mentioned above be adequate daily? thanks alot
- Denise Hello sweetie. It's great to hear from you! Do you really mean 164 KILOGRAMS? Or did you mean pounds? In any case, if your doctor really told you to lose weight, then my advice to you is the same. You need exercise, healthy food, proper hydration, and adequate rest. There's no other way around healthy weight loss.
jeanette im having a problem i drink 64 oz of water at the gym 5 times a week eat 1200-18,00 cal but not lose weight i do strength training snd cardio buit its no use
- Denise Hi Jeanette. Welcome to All Women Stalk! How long have you been doing this weight loss regimen? Have you tried consulting a doctor? Sometimes hormones and other physical conditions can make it hard for us to lose weight.
Anonymous I'm 12, 5'6, and almost 145 pounds. I feel incredibly fat, and even my mom says I should do something, but I do exercise and eat healthy and it doesn't help. I have a lot of belly and thigh fat, but very strong lower leg muscles, as I'm a fencer and that really helps to tone that area. I really just want to feel comfortable and to be able to wear things I like without feeling hideous. I can't really stand this much longer, I just want to lose some weight fast. Any help is really appreciated.
- Anonymous Thanks- I really appreciate it.
Anonymous hey im 14 years old, 5"6 tall and i weigh 55 kg.. its really embarrassing especially when i wear shorts or tight clothes. and i just can't stop eating junk food! plzz help!
- Anonymous You're 5″6 and weight 55 kg and feel fat? That's not fat at all, you must have the most amazing body. I can't imagine you would look ugly in shorts or tight clothes. Looking nice and eating healthy is great but you shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself, I'm sure you're already very beautiful. I'm 18, 5″3 and weight 53 kg, I'm not very skinny, but I think it's ok. You should learn to embrace yourself :D
- Denise Hey sweetie. I suggest that you just eat healthy, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and be active. You are still growing so I really wouldn't recommend dieting. As for fashion, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. This doesn't mean that you wear baggy clothes. Just find clothes that fit you just right -- nothing too baggy or tight. Don't be embarrassed by your body. Learn to love and appreciate it because it does so many things for you on a daily basis. Thanks for checking out All Women Stalk!
mona hi im 154cm and i weigh 132lbs and i want to lose 22 in a month or two bcz mom promised me a surprise and i want to lose it quick and its hard to go to a gym cz its way far from my house and cant go outside bcz there are cars and sand no proper place to walk in thx!
- mona do you recommend me any exercise videos that would help me??
- Denise Hi Mona. Welcome to All Women Stalk! You can try exercise videos if it's really hard for you to work out outside of the house. Also, don't forget to evaluate your eating habits. Your efforts to exercise will go to waste if you don't eat healthy.
Adi Hey, Prom is in a couple weeks and I want a way to tighten up. I already have a dress and it looks fantastic: but it would look better (and i could feel better) if I could loose a little belly fat. I feel like I eat really well, but I need some help with the exercise portion. Do you have any ideas for me?
- Denise Hello Adi. Welcome to All Women Stalk! If you're not new to exercise, then you can give circuit training a try. The 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels is a fun and effective way to strengthen and tone your body. I've used it and it really helped with my running. If you feel like the workout is too hard for you, then please don't do it every day. You could also just go running, biking, or do a cardio workout that you enjoy. Then you can add toning exercises to your program. Please don't overdo exercise; give your body time to recover. I'm sure that you look awesome in the dress even if you really do have belly fat.
Jason To add to my dilemma, I don't know how but my mouth rejects anything that comes from the soil and directly into my mouth. It must be some sort of reflux and I hate it! Because of it, I can't eat vegetables or fruit which is a key part of making healthy choices. I used to be skinny, but then middle school came along. Lol, I hate ala carte. Thank you again Denise. :) Jason
Jason Hi Denise, I'm also 13. I've been going to the gym at 5AM every week day since the first week of January(2012). I haven't seen really any results, but I hope that the fat weight was quickly replaced with muscle weight. I'm going to Florida in 2 weeks and even if I wasn't I'd still like to look good and be confident... any tips? Today I decided no more greasy cafe food at school, just a peanut butter sandwich. I also need to be serious about cutting down on sweets, because I have been so bad on that. Oh well, let's see if I can go tomorrow. Thank you :)
- Denise Hi there Jason. I don't know how tall you are or how much you weigh.... However, you are a teenager so you really should go teasy on dieting and working out. In fact, I strongly suggest that you don't diet. Eating just a peanut butter sandwich for lunch won't cut it if you exercise every day. You mentioned that your body "rejects' fruits and veggies. Maybe it's an acquired taste for you. I know that when I was younger, I didn't really enjoy most vegetables; fruits, I only liked some. But now, after a few more years of training my taste buds, I like pretty much most fruits and veggies. Now, as for feeling good and confident, that mostly comes from within you. Own your accomplishments and thank your body for all that it has done for you. Thanks for joining us on All Women Stalk!
annoymus im 13 & weight 10.5 but i dont even look that fat! i still want to loost alot of weight so i have a flat belly! please help!:(

- Anonymous drink so so much water.. as much as you can. you will need to go to the bathroom heaps but its fine deal with it, no one has ever said theres any such thing as too much water. also eat almonds and any fruit and veggie (not potato) like theres no tomorrow :)
- Denise Hey hun. Getting regular exercise can work wonders for your body -- with the way it looks and with how it works. Just don't go overboard with exercising because your body is still developing. And please don't even think about dieting. Thank you for stopping by AWS!
