Here are 10 simple ways to lose 10 pounds

I’ve highlighted a few for you here:

1. If you usually drink regular soda… stop! Lose more than two pounds
in a month without trying (estimating about 10 cans per week). One
12-ounce can of soda has 150-170 calories and no nutrition. Have ice
cold water or a can of diet soda if you like but limit the diet stuff
to one can per day.

2. Go for a walk. A brisk walk and just for 15 minutes, twice a day. In a month… there goes a pound!

3. Change the potato chips to pretzels. One serving of chips has 60
more calories than pretzels, and ten times more fat grams. Just
changing this snack will help you lose one half pound this month.
Better yet, switch to baby carrots and lose another half pound… for one
full pound!

4. Order a Jr. Whopper instead of the regular, and a side salad too.
The Junior-sized sandwich is plenty for most folks and is mighty
satisfying on its own. The original has 700 calories… the junior only
400 (eliminate the mayonnaise on the junior, and you’re cooking with
gas!) Save 390 calories on one sandwich and, assuming you eat out at
least twice a week, you’ll drop at least three quarters of a pound just
by switching from a large size to a smaller one.

5. Instead of sitting for hours in front of the television, get on your
exercise bike and pedal. Each time a commercial comes on, pedal! You’ll
burn about 200 calories. Do it at least five evenings per week during
your favorite program (figure you’ll be pedaling about 20 minutes a
day) and lose another pound!
