How to Lose 10lbs in 8 Weeks or Less!

If you want to lose 10 lbs it's going to take some willpower. I'm going to teach you step by step what to do everyday to lose at least 10 lbs in 8 weeks or less. It worked for me, so I know it can work for you. And if you have more than 10 lbs to lose, just continue to follow my steps after you've lose the first 10 lbs.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Scale
• Tape measure
• Before Picture
• Be sure to take an after picture when you're done!

1. First of all cut out ALL sodas, even diet. Just drink water if you can. Crystal Light is good too. If you're like me, an occasional sweet tea is ok aswell.

2. Cut out any junk food such as chips & dip (except for tortilla chips & salsa, those are good), snack cakes or twinkies, even sugared cereal.

3. Now be sure to measure your servings! A typical serving of meat (make sure it is lean!) is the size of a deck of cards. Some people will read the calories on a label and say "Oh only 250 calories, that's under my diet limit" but they fail to notice that is per serving and that there are more than one serving in the package. Also, try not to go over 1200 calories a day, and watch the fat... try to keep the fat under 15grams each meal but really shoot for no more than 10grams a meal.

4. Keep a journal. The day you start take the following measurements: Neck, Arms, Bust, Belly (the largest part), Hips, Butt, Thighs, & Calves. Also be sure to record your weight. Then everyday write down EVERYTHING you eat, even if it is just one hershey's kiss. Then once every 2 weeks, take your measurements & weight again and record them.

5. Walk at least 30 minutes everyday. Try to go for a whole hour or more, but at least 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be all at once either. It can be 15 minutes here or 15 minutes there. 3 days a week (never 2 days in a row) do some crunches, push ups, and squats to help tone your muscles as you lose fat. Do as many as you can and try to do more each week.

6. Be sure to eat breakfast!! Eat at least 3 times a day plus snacks (by snacks I mean grapes, or an apple, or even a half a bowl of cereal). If you can cut out sugar! Use Splenda or Equal. I sprinkle equal over my cheerios and it is delicious! What ever type of milk you are using go down to the next low fat one.. For example: You drink whole milk, switch to 2% milk. Or if you drink 2% milk, go to 1% milk.

7. The last step is on one day a week, for one meal on that one day, you can eat what you want. Now don't go an eat a whole cake, but you can splurge a LITTLE. For example: Normally you would have 1 serving of lean meat, and 2 servings of veggies... well on that one meal of that one day you can add a slice of cake or something you've been craving.

Tips & Warnings

• Like I said, be sure to record your weight, measurements, and EVERYTHING you eat.
• No Sodas or junk food!!
• Search online for a pic of a celebrity that has the body you want to achieve and anytime you feel like slipping, just look at that picture and ask yourself "Do I want to stay like this, or look like that?"
• As with ANY diet or exercise, please discuss with your doctor before beginning this one!
• This may not work for everyone, but it DID work for me.
