We have to trick our bodies into letting go of those last 10 pounds.

Lucky for us, physique competitors have worked it all out. Every year sometimes two or three times a year these competitors gain weight while building up their muscles, and then they must drop that excess fat in order to show their physiques to full magnificence. With a tough schedule like that, and knowing they will be standing onstage in next-to-nothing in front of judges well, they leave nothing to chance.

This entire book is dedicated to you, the person who doesnt have a whole lot of weight to lose and doesnt want to go on a diet, but wants to take her body to the next level.

But you dont have to be a competitor to benefit from their knowledge. There are lots of reasons you might want to lose 10 pounds. You might be going on a beach vacation and want to look great in a bikini, or maybe you're getting married and want to be the most beautiful bride you can be, or perhaps you have a high school reunion and want to show your ex-boyfriend what a huge mistake he made. You may have no overwhelming reason, but just want to look and feel your best. Whatever the reason, I know you want to lose them because you're holding this book in your hands!

This entire book is dedicated to you, the person who doesn't have a whole lot of weight to lose and doesn't want to go on a "diet," but wants to take her body to the next level.

In short, this book offers everything you need to reach your goal - so take the leap! What have you got to lose? Nothing but those last 10 pounds.

Keep it tight!

Whos Thinking of Losing Weight?

In North America, 67 percent of our population is overweight, and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity has reached epidemic numbers. Apparently millions, if not billions, of us around the world are thinking of losing weight, whether 10 pounds or 110 pounds. Few are exempt from this problem. The population of overweight children is larger than ever, not only in North America, where the number of overweight children has doubled since 1980, but also worldwide, where the WHO estimates that 17.6 million children under the age of five are overweight. In America alone, 200 million individuals are overweight or obese.

People struggle with those last 10 for many reasons.

Stepping away from statistics for a moment, lets consider why you might be interested in shedding those annoying last 10 pounds. Throughout your life will be moments when you want to look your best. You may simply decide on a haircut and a new dress, or you might look in the mirror and realize your waistline needs trimming. Frowning, you look at the calendar and realize you have only 28 days until your wedding day, your sons bar mitzvah or your beach vacation. Ive certainly found myself in a similar situation.
