Lose 10 Pounds Fast

Janet stepped off her weight scales one Spring morning, her hand to her mouth. Although her clothing had been fitting tighter  than usual, she was shocked to discover that she had gained ten pounds - and she was already 35 pounds over her recommended weight.

Almost immediately, she decided that she wanted to lose 10 pounds fast.   Although she would like to lose all her excess weight - not just the 10 pounds, for the moment she was simply concerned with getting a grip on her weight before it soared to even higher levels.

She would begin her diet tomorrow.   Due to Fast Weight Loss Dreams  it would be a while before she could enjoy her favorite foods, so she decided to treat herself throughout the day. One last Diet Fling!

For breakfast, she stopped off at her favorite fast food spot and ordered a sausage biscuit with cheese. Lunch time, she suggested to her friends that they dine at a new Italian restaurant that had recently opened. Janet's friends jumped at the idea.

When dinner time arrived, Janet  ate at her favorite Mexican restaurant with her boyfriend, Todd.   They had been going together for exactly one year, so Todd gave her a box of her favorite chocolates to celebrate the event.

Later that evening after Todd left her place, Janet eyed the deep, dark chocolate, knowing that if she wanted to lose 10 pounds fast, she wouldn't be able to succeed with all that chocolate flirting with her.   So she ate the entire box by bedtime, feeling very full and satisfied.   She would begin her diet come morning.

We are happy to report that Janet went forward to lose her 10 pounds - but not as fast as she would have preferred.   It took Janet close to two months to lose 10 pounds.

Let's see if we can identify one of the hot spots that kept Janet from losing those 10 pounds as fast as she would have liked:

Janet's explosive menu on pre-diet day knocked her scales for a further loop which didn't automatically show themselves until a few days into her 10 Pound Diet.   Therefore, Janet was not only losing those 10 unwanted pounds, she was also battling with weight gain due to Mama Mia, Mamasita, and Mama Needs Chocolate.

How long does it take to lose 10 pounds fast?

About a month.   A safe rate of weight loss is about 2 pounds per week and will be more likely to stay gone.
