Totally doable. I’ve done it, and today, I’m going to walk you through my personal, no-nonsense strategy that made it happen without living on celery sticks or doing burpees until I dropped. This method is about sustainable, smart changes, because who has time for extremes? https://youtu.be/XtzDvGdZG70 Why Losing 10 Pounds Seems Like a Big Deal If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, especially 10 pounds, you might have found yourself asking, “Why is this so hard? It’s just 10 pounds!” Well, let me tell you: it's not because you're lazy or lack willpower. The struggle is real, and here’s why: Misinformation Overload: Everyone’s shouting different diet advice—low-carb, low-fat, high-protein. It’s exhausting to keep up with the “rules.” Lack of Motivation: We start out like rockstars, then somewhere around week three, the motivation fizzles out, and we're back to Netflix and snacks. Unrealistic Expectations: Social media is full of 20-somethings with abs of steel telling you that you, too, can look like them. Newsflash: You don’t need their six-pack to be healthy or happy. Zero Support: You’re trying to eat better, but everyone around you keeps ordering pizza. Sound familiar? Without accountability or a buddy cheering you on, it’s tough to stay focused. My Step-by-Step Process to Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Months Here’s exactly what worked for me. These steps are simple, sustainable, and most importantly—doable. 1. Make Sustainable Diet Changes (Moderation Is Key) Listen, I love pizza and chocolate. And guess what? I didn't give them up. Instead, I learned to moderate. You can still enjoy the foods you love, just in smaller portions and less often. Love pizza? Have one slice instead of half the pie. Craving chocolate? Go for a smaller portion and don’t make it an everyday thing. The key is moderation, not deprivation. Cut back, not out. 2. Establish an Exercise Routine That Doesn’t Suck Exercise should not feel like punishment. Find something you actually enjoy, because let’s be real—if you hate it, you won’t stick with it. I believe weightlifting is a non-negotiable for women over 40. Why? Because strength training helps boost metabolism, build muscle, and keep us feeling strong and capable. Along with weightlifting, I mix in hiking, swimming, yoga, and cycling. I don’t do it all every day, but I make sure to move my body for at least an hour. Find what you love and go with it. 3. Say Bye to Alcohol (For Now) In July, I cut out wine. I know, I know—gasp. But the truth is, alcohol messes with your sleep, which messes with your energy, which messes with your choices the next day (hello, high carbs & fat). After six weeks of solid sleep without wine, I felt like a new person. The energy boost alone was worth it. 4. Forget the Scale The scale? We’re not friends.
