How To Lose 10 Pounds by Summer

If my goal was to lose 10 pounds and feel leaner and stronger by the end of June, here’s exactly what I’d do—and what I recommend to anyone with the same goal.

First, I’d get really clear on my daily habits. I’d write them down and post them in places I see often: on the fridge, my bathroom mirror, and my desk. Constant reminders help keep your goals front and center.

Here are the four habits I’d focus on every single day:

1. Drink at least 64 oz of water daily.

No more calorie-filled drinks—just water. It’s simple, effective, and helps you avoid mindless extra calories. Plus, being well-hydrated keeps your energy levels up and hunger in check.

2. Eat more protein.

Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of your goal body weight. So, if your goal is 150 lbs, target 150 grams of protein each day. Protein keeps you full, reduces cravings, and supports lean muscle growth—which is key to long-term fat loss.

3. Strength train 3–5 times per week.

Lifting weights consistently, paired with a high-protein diet, builds lean muscle. That muscle helps boost your metabolism and burns more fat—even while you're resting. Strength training is a game-changer if you want to tone up and slim down.

4. Walk 10,000+ steps a day.

Movement outside the gym matters. Walk more. Take the stairs. Park farther away. Do yard work. All these steps add up and help create the calorie deficit needed to shed those 10 pounds. The more you move, the more progress you’ll make.

If I stayed consistent with just these four habits, I’m confident I’d hit my goal by summer.
