Hello from Minneapolis!

Options
Just checking in. I got my labwork back and my cholesterol is 250 - yikes. My doctor gave me time to control it with diet and exercise before she puts me on a medication. I'm here for the ease of tracking my food and exercise.

Not sure what else to say - I work and volunteer in the artistic and queer/trans communities as well as the reproductive justice community. Holla.

    Welcome to MFP! Sorry to hear about the high cholesterol report, but congratulations on making such a good choice to try and lower it naturally with diet and exercise.

    I haven't struggled with cholesterol personally, but one of my MFP "friends" who has been here a while doing the same thing just got a report that if she can keep her numbers low for another three months, her doctor will take her off the medication. So...it can be done!

    If you decide you want to add "friends" here, feel free to add me. I live in the Cities, too. Good luck on your journey!

    Cheers!

    Hello (:
    Don't know anything about cholesterol but that's a pretty big number.
    Good luck to you (:
    I hope it all works out!
