Losing weight is tough. Anyone who has more than 10lbs to lose knows how daunting of a task it is to step on the scale day after day to see if any improvements have been in their weight loss efforts. Suddenly losing that extra 5, 10, 50 or even 100lbs seems an impossible feat. However, by changing your focus, you can change your mindset. Focus instead on the health benefits of shedding that excess baggage.
