I have not been trying

I'm back. I won't say ready but trying. I want to get back in the blog mood and weight loss mood. I hope everyone is doing well. I started a new exercise. I have also been under the weather the last week so I have done much of anything. A friend of mine just lost 12 lbs. Jan. 1 she went on a diet and lost 12 lbs. counting calories without a glitch. Now why can't I do that. Anyway, I'm back and trying.
