I'm not fat (around 125 pounds) and I am a fairly active person. When I'm in season for high school sports, I work out for 2 hours everyday (fall and spring), and in the winter and summer, I workout 3-4 times a week for around an hour and a half. How can I lose ten pounds or so if I'm already exercising this much? I have not had a pop in several months (I used to have one a week) and have resorted to eating 3 small fun sized pieces of chocolate a week (as opposed to full sized candy cars) just to satisfy my cravings. I feel like it's just extremely hard for me to lose weight.

If you are not fat, why do you want to lose weight? You don't say how tall you are. What makes you thnk you need to lose weight?
If you want to diet, cut out fast food (especially burgers and fries) and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. Try writing down everything you eat for a few days. Get a calorie counter book and see how many calories you are eating. You may be surprised how many calories you are eating and where they come from.
A 12 oz. pop only has about 180 calories...not too bad except that they all come from sugar....10 teaspoons of it in every pop!
Sugar is the kind of thing that if you eat a little, you crave more, so it's bad that way, but it is fat (grease, oils, butter, sauces, mayonaise) that really packs in the calories.
Don't bother with fad diets, they don't work for long. And diet supplements can be very dangerous.
Also, congratulations on how much you exercise!
I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!
Why lose 10 pounds, 125 is a good weight, I'm sure your body looks great, unless you're a hobbit or something like that, then 125 would make you fat, lol. Don't sweat it, you're fine the way you are.
Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.
But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note-- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.
So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

You sound fine. Why do you need to lose weight?
But anyway, try not eating at all or diet pills.
eat small fequent meals to balance out your insulin which has alot to do with metabolism. if it gets out of whack then you can become insulin resistant & that makes it harder to lose weight & is a precursor to type 2 diabetes. they dont have to be much just like a handful of nuts kinda thing. good luck & i hope this helps
