So here I go to battle the buldge again. I've been trying to lose pounds since Oct. but have not been successful instead the opposite has been true (+8). I really what to try to lose so I can feel better inside and look my best for my D.L. photo this summer. This is just one of my pre-New Year goals ( I always start before new years). Based on experience (~24 yrs) portion control (Nutri system), any 30 min. exercise, and low carb works. I just find that as I'm getting older it's not so easy.
