lose 10 pounds by Articles Exposed
Published Date: 11/02/08
Like many men and women around the world, I have been trying to lose 10 pounds for years. I dropped over thirty pounds many years ago and have had a very difficult time getting rid of the last 10 annoying pounds. I know that there are countless men and women out there who are in the same aggravating boat that I am in. You can at least take some comfort in knowing that you are not even close to being alone in this struggle.
If you are working on losing your first 10 pounds or your last 10, my advice is generally the same. Trying to lose 10 pounds when you are 50 pounds overweight seems to be a great deal easier than shedding the last 10. I think this has a bit to do with intensity. I have had to work a lot harder on my last 10 and I know plenty of people who have had the same experience. Running one mile used to do a lot more for me than it does now. It seems like I have to run three or four miles now to get the same fat burning effect.
If you are trying to lose 10 pounds you will have to change your diet and exercise habits. Weight loss has everything to do with numbers. You must expend more calories than you are taking in. You will have to veg out less and move a lot more. Making wise diet decisions is a must when trying to lose weight. If you do undertake a new exercise routine, you should always consult with your doctor first. Also make sure that you are drinking plenty of water to make up for the sweat you are losing.
Getting a good night's sleep every night can help you lose 10 pounds more than you may think. By regulating your sleep cycle and making sure it is a healthy one, you can help your body keep a regular metabolic rate. Eat meals at the same times every day and never ever skip breakfast.
My struggle with the last 10 annoying pounds has lasted for years. I want you to know that it can be very difficult to get rid of the entirety of your body fat. Some of us are just designed this way and for one reason or another our bodies want to hold onto some fat. Maybe it is for safe keeping just in case we get sick someday or there is a famine. These may seem like unlikely occurrences, but just try to tell that to your body and the biochemistry inside that reaches back millions of years.
