Trying to work it out

I have been trying to lose weight for over a year and am not having much luck. I've tried various diet pills with no luck. Now I working with my friend in NY, well Brooklyn actually, who is trying to lose weight as well (you have to check out her site she has some really cool jewelry). After watching TLC I came across this show "I Can Make You Thin". At first I thought it was going to be someone selling something but it's not. It's some common sense things that make sense (that didn't make sense did it?) But so far it's easy. I've learned the 4 golden rules and they are pretty easy to follow. Check out his site, he has a book of the same title and some other books but I think I am going to stick with the and go from there, lol.
