I have a better mind set on what I am going to do to make healthier snack choices. I also, know that it is o.k. to indulge in a yummy treat once in a while. without feeling guilty. Thanks again everyone. :)

Thanks everyone! I do pretty well, most days. I guess it isn't bad to enjoy goodies once in a while. I'm sure we all occasionally have days like that. :)

O.k. thanks. I don't know why , but I feel so bad when I do this. I exercise every day, so I guess I feel that when I eat like this, it makes me feel that I haven't accomplished anything for the day, even though I did exercise. :(

You look great! Keep up the good work. I have a workout shirt that says,"Sweat today, Smile tomorrow."

I have the same problem , as well. I always carry a handkerchief when I walk and jog.

Yes, you can lose weight, by just walking. I'm sure it is good to do other exercises, but I usually just walk or jog. Also,make sure you are eating healthy. Many people think you have to be on a diet to lose weight, but If you eat healthy and use portion control. You can stick to this regimen for life.

Thanks for the prayers. While walking, I love talking to Him. It seems more personal, I guess nothing around to distract you. :)

My husband and I went grocery shopping and I bought healthy snacks. Clementines, fresh spinach, 97% free turkey breast,fresh baby carrots etc,I am trying to keep the bad snacks out of our house. If it is there, We will eat it.

Thank you very much, I appreciate all the help I can get. : )

I will continue the low cholesterol diet, as well as exercising daily. I probably won't be checked again for another 6 months, unless a problem would arise. I hope this will help my numbers. If this does not help, as some of you have said, It could possibly be genetic. If so, then cholesterol medicine may be what I need to…

I have heard nothing but bad things about cholesterol medications,leg pain, joint pain etc. Could this possibly be true for some patients. Does this medication affect you in any way?

Thanks again everyone. My cardiologist told me that if I eat: fish, chicken,turkey and lots of fruit and veggies that I would be fine. He said that I was allowed one egg a week. Lately when I want something sweet, I have a graham cracker with a teaspoon of peanut butter. I hope that my new diet will help lower my…

My triglyceride number was : 69 The range was 0-149. So, isn't this number low? I am trying to cut out some of the red meats and sweet goodies , also. Thank you all so much for the information. :)

My HDL Cholesterol is: 67 <2> LDL Chol (calc) 139 H* Cholesterol 220 H*

Hello, I am willing to help you in any way I can. The trick to weight loss is not dieting, but learning to eat in a healthy way that one can continue the rest of their lives. We will have a off day once in a while, but we can pick up our healthy eating the next day. Great start getting healthy foods. If you like jello , my…

I also feel that it could possibly be genetic, as well.

Thanks everyone. I walk daily, at least 3 -7 miles a day. I feel I get enough exercise, but my husband and I do like steak and pork loin. We are doing well , when using portion control, but I will try to substitute beef and pork for skinless chicken or turkey. Maybe this will help. Any other ideas would be appreciated.…
