It's kind of hard to say, without knowing you personally. Although most sources do say that women should not eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day, FYI. 

For one, 10 pounds isn't that much to lose and therefore may take longer. Second, how tall are you and is 110 a reasonable goal--and not necessarily because it's what a height and weight chart tells you. Some people are bigger boned or have more muscle than others and for them it might be more appropriate to be on the heavier side of a certain weight range. 

If you work out, you do need to eat more calories. The other thing about working out is it can cause the scale to stagnate a bit, particularly if you are building muscle, but you'll be getting smaller. So if the scale isn't cooperating, then perhaps get a soft tape measurer and start taking measurements. 

The other thing I found when I got closer to my goal weight is WHAT I ate mattered as much as the amount. I know that you said that you're cutting carbs, but that's not necessarily the answer. Is your diet predominately plant-based (meaning, vegetables)? Do you eat breakfast? Do you eat lean protein? Do you eat processed foods? How much sugar is in your diet? How much water do you drink? How much alcohol do you drink? 

And finally, eating too little can also have an adverse effect with the scale. Sometimes people find they have to eat more in order to lose--they have to keep their metabolism humming. I find that I lose optimally when I eat more AND exercise more. I lose so-so if I exercise and eat minimally; I don't lose well if I eat minimally and skip exercise. But that's me. Everyone's different. 

The thing about those types of apps and programs is that they don't know all of the details, they're going off very general estimates.  For example, myfitnesspal told me I couldn't consume more than 1200 calories a day.  That's just not going to happen.  I need a minimum of 1300 to not feel like I'm starving to death.   But even with that few calories being consumed (and working out 5 to 6 days a week), the weight is coming off excrutiatingly slow.  As in, 2 pounds in a month.

@JennyW1 is right, there are a lot of factors to be considered.  When you've got less to lose (like you and I), it comes off a lot slower, if at all.  Sometimes your body just likes where it's at for whatever reason and will hold on to those extra 8 pounds for all it's worth. Depending on your physical activity, you may not be consuming enough food.  You shouldn't really be consuming under 1200 calories a day without doctor supervision.  In fact, I don't know of any weight loss program that would recommend you consume any less than that without providing it's own food to make sure you're recieving enough nutrients.

In general though, yes.  Weight loss really does boil down to calories in vs. calories out.  Sometimes it takes awhile to find the magical formula of calories in vs. calories out that will result in weight loss without throwing your body into starvation mode, though. 

@arenyth:  Oh, I FEEL you girl. My MOH came over Saturday and ran on the treadmill while I did Insanity pure cardio.  When I finished she looked at me and asked "how do you NOT weigh 90 pounds?"  It sucks when you're killing yourself for a prolonged period of time with no results.  I look at it from a mental health kind of place though: I feel best about myself when I know I'm doing everything I should be doing to look the best I can.  I watch what I eat and I exercise regularly.  Beyond that, whatever will be will be.  At least I can't beat myself up for not even trying or half assing it. That helps to keep the funkiness at bay most of the time, anyway.
