How to Lose 10 Pounds on a Diet Schedule

Sometimes you don't need to lose a huge amount of weight. You just want to drop 10 pounds so you'll look better in a bathing suit or so you can fit into your favorite formal suit or dress. Goals are helpful because they give you something specific on which you can focus. If you create a diet schedule aimed at helping you meet that goal, you'll increase your chances for success. You just have to be willing to follow the schedule.

Tips and Warnings

  • Once you have achieved your goal of losing 10 pounds, the Mayo Clinic says you should try to continue with the healthy habits you used on your diet schedule. For example, if you started exercising, keep it up. Continue to schedule workout time. If your schedule included more frequent meals of healthier foods, continue it rather than going back to your old habits.
