This thread is confusing me?? It is very easy to lose 10 lbs in 6 weeks! I lost 18 pounds in 4 weeks at 32. I went on a 1200 calorie per day diet and exercised on the treadmill at the highest elevation for 45 minutes 4 days a week. Yes, I gained the weight back, but that wasn't the OP's question
That was easy for you, but not for everyone. My maintenance calories--that is, neither gain nor lose is about 1550, with exercise (had a bod pod metabolism testing) I'm 5'1" and 46 years old and 120#. And that's with 4x week of both 55 min cardio and 45-60 min weight lifting. So for me to lose 10 lbs at 1200 calories/day, it would take about 102 days, or 14 weeks. While it is great that it was easy for you, its not easy for everyone.
