I'm turned 50 this month. I'm postmenopause. I work out for a least 30 min five days out of the week & thought I was doing good watching what I was eating. However, I recently was told my total cholesterol & LDL are high. The question I have is what would your recommend in terms of dieting to lower my cholesterol?

We call all use a little motivation to meet our goals. Feel free to add me & that goes for anyone else :smile:

I was working out with my girlfriends at the gym & one of them or both started calling me sergeant bad *kitten* because I was doing some work & telling them to work harder. Lol

What GregJourney said. I go by the HRM for this reason.

Kudos! You look great! Very inspiring!

I just got it myself. I'm going to start on it tomorrow. I like kickboxing & UFC so let's see how it goes. I'm surprised that there's hardly any posts on MFP about it :grumble:

Stay positive, watch what you eat & stay active. You'll start seeing results before you know it. I have a goal of losing another 10 lbs. I'm sending you a friend request. Anyone else, feel free to add me.

Putting on a pair of skinny jeans that used to fit snugly & now are too loose. Happy happy joy joy moment :happy:

I was asking myself this question as well. Many have valid points here that make a lot of sense. However, shorter legs vs longer legs? I'm 5'1 one so my strides are shorter than my BF who's 5'11. Even though I'm fitter than he is, he outdistances me. I can 'run' longer than he can so I'd beat him in a 10K rather than a 5K.…

Make that your mantra. "I'm going to stick to it!" It's hard at the beginning but stay consistent (aim for at least 30 days) & before you know it, you'll start noticing the changes. Feel free to add me.

I'm resourceful, adaptable & love camping. Since I'm kinda fit now, I'd outrun them since they don't run. I'd also get myself a katana cuz slicing zombies is bad *kitten*.

SW - 149 lbs GW - 120 lbs CW - 130 lbs ABOUT YOURSELF - I'm a mother of two teenage boys. I've been a stay at home mom for the last year & half but about to go back to a full-time job.

Truth!! I wish I had learned this several years ago when I first joined this site but glad to say I'm on the right path now =)

1008?!?! That's great!! Kudos to all of you for having such long streaks. I had 150 something but went on vacation & didn't want to log. This time around I have a goal to make it to next March 1st ;-)

This is great! Kind of how I feel when I see the contestants on the Biggest Loser. I have to give props because if it's hard for the regular Joe's & Jane's, I cannot even imagine what a bigger person goes through. Thanks for sharing!
