How long will it take me to lose 10 lbs?

I am 25 yrs old, 5'3", apprx. 154 lbs & petite, I have had 1 baby 3 yrs ago. I only gained 15 lbs while pregnant, then quickly lost it then gained almost 20 since then. Yesterday I started a leg-ab-arm 30 min workout. Today I have started dieting by eating most of the same things, just less in calories & portions. If I keep this up, how long will it take to start seeing results or to lose 10 lbs???

The exercise will keep you fit and your body attractive but will do little to reduce your weight. The weight loss aspect has mainly to do with diet. Presuming you have a healthy diet, just reducing portions is the best way for not only losing weight, but keeping it off.

I don't think anyone can tell you how long it will take to lose 10 pounds. But keep at it and you will lose that, and probably more. You are going about things in the proper manner. So many weight-loss programs involve drastic changes in eating habits. This may be one of the reasons the diets ultimately fail.
