    If 10lbs is causing you to be depressed I think you need to speak to a doctor...

    Seriously, I hope you are not really depressed over 10 pounds. Please get some help if you are.

    To lose the weight though just eat less calories than you burn in a day and be patient it won't happen overnight.

    I have just lost 10lb by biking 3-4 times a week 20km and staying under around 1400 calories a day. It's taken 2 months! But it works. 10lb is hard to lose when you're already pretty much ideal weight. People who have a lot more weight to lose often deride us because we don't want to lose much but for me it's just about keeping my weight in check so I don't have to lose a ton more in the future! Just calorie count and exercise it will work for you!

    I've lost 10lbs in the 8 weeks by eating 500 calorie deficit a day and exercising 3 times a week, plus walking more on the other days. You've got this! Just decide to do it, you'll do great!

    I'm 10 lbs from my goal weight too, after I gained 7 lbs, which turned into a 15 lb gain. Add me as a friend if you'd like.

    Hi, I've already lost around 100lbs but the last 10 to 15lbs are far harder than the first 100lb. It seems I do all the right things and loose a pound then have 1 beer and gain 3. You'd know the feeling, feel free to add me if you'd like some motivation
