Time to try again

I am having no luck with dieting these days. I truly believe my metabolism is shot. Help!. I even tried Hypnosis tapes. Didn't do anything yet - maybe the effects are waiting to kick in. It has been a long rough winter - lots of money down the drain and no success with dieting and exercise - I think what is needed is some sunshine. I am feeling pretty optimistic this week. Just got back from Vegas - it was great. So - I am ready to get back to regular blogging - see if this helps. (although it didn't the first time) Hoping to get some ideas. Do you have any weight loss secrets that you care to share? Let me know.
