For some reason, losing 10 pounds is a magical goal. Without 10 extra pounds of body fat we would feel lighter, have more energy, move with increased grace and of course leap tall buildings in a single bound! Whether it's the first 10 pounds or the last 10 pounds that you're struggling to leave behind, measuring portion sizes and choosing foods with high staying power will push you towards success.
