First 10 Pounds As A Realistic Goal
- Losing the first 10 pounds is a realistic, healthy kickstart to larger weight loss goals.
- Riley Pearce frames that target as attainable without gimmicks and aligns expectations with sustainable change.
Track Intake And Activity First
- Track everything you eat for at least a week to establish a baseline intake.
- Turn on your phone pedometer to capture habitual daily activity before changing anything.
Build A 7,000-Calorie Weekly Deficit
- Use the 3,500-calorie per pound rule to plan a 10‑pound loss: aim for a 7,000-calorie weekly deficit.
- Achieve that by cutting ~500 calories daily and burning ~500 calories with exercise or by cutting 1,000 calories alone.
