You look amazing! I have to say though, you're a pretty lady regardless of weight and you're a little fashionista in both before and after pics. Bet shopping is so much fun now!

I posted a similar question yesterday and got a ton of responses. I know that eating nuts, oats, and high fiber helps raise good cholesterol.

I really appreciate all the information. My mom has high cholesterol so I do think I'm predisposed to it. I also think the further I get into my weigh loss journey the better it will get.

I'll try that! Thanks.

They said that they were going to mail me a list of foods to avoid and some other helpful info......but I was hoping someone here has been through a similar situation.

Thanks guys! I'll look into a Fitbit then.

You can do it! Add me if you'd like, I'm a newbie.

@mirandadawn2 oh trust me, I do sometimes allow myself a treat as well!

Please add me as well! This goes to everyone on this thread as well. I have 100+ lbs to lose. Really need people to do this with and help each other stay motivated!

Please count me in! I'm Heather and I too would like to lose 100lbs. I've tried everything under the sun. I'd lose 25 lbs or so and then lose interest/motivation and gain it all back and then some. Looking forward to holding each other accountable!
