I reduced and counted calories, dropped sugar and stayed away from carbs. Lots of veggies. Daily exercise but nothing insane.

Good luck!

DP here. Just want to say thank you for posting this. I too want to lose 10 lbs and I think 8 lbs is a reasonable weight loss in a month. And knowing that you did what I'm starting to do now (counting calories, staying away from sugar/carbs); and exercising regularly; makes me hopeful that I can lose these stubborn last 10 lbs. I don't want to go crazy by doing drastic things that aren't going to last.

PP here. good luck! I think the reason we so often fail is because we give up on our diets. I allow some cheese, crackers, wine, small bits of things I enjoy here & there. It makes dieting more tolerable. I really do stay away from sugar and bready carb things.

WTH? I woukd look significantly different losing 10 pounds. Where do you carry your weight? Your feet?
