Lose 10 Pounds in 5 Weeks
I switched to eating 6 small meals a day at specific times about 5 months ago and have lost 26 pounds. 8am, 12n, 2p, 4p, 6p, 8p worked well for me...
This method of eating has definitely sped up my metabolism. I have all but abandoned this way of eating while on vacation for a couple of weeks with absolutely no weight gain. I was astonished! It is an awesome lifestyle change. I do not consider it a diet because i can eat whatever I want to...I consider it educated eating with portion control!
Good luck!
I am so unhappy with my weight and diet. Stuck in a rut is, I think, my quote of the year.
Will try this.

Week 3: Bump up the calorie burn with these workouts. Each day this week, perform the recommended activity. Modify the routine if needed. On days with two routines, you can do them separately or combine them into one workout.
If you are using a pedometer, remember to increase your end-of-day step total by the recommended number. This will encourage you be more active all day long, not just during your workouts. If this is your first week using a pedometer, you'll need to figure out the average number of steps you take each day. If you are already following the routines, you can safely jump in at any point midway and aim for the pedometer quotas.
