Girl, you look great without the tan!! Personally, I go to the beach every year and try to get a base tan so I can play on the beach with my son and not get roasted!!! Even with sunblock at the beach......I usually wear 30-60 SPF...I STILL get tanned. Mostly, I just try not to get burned. I think te burning is what is the…

I didn't have any weight loss for 5 weeks after I started my diet and exercise program. People started asking about week 4 if I had lost....I said that I didn't, but I could tell a difference in my body...(know what I mean?) Then yesterday, at 7 weeks of exercising I have lost 4 lbs total and actually had 2 people comment.…

Honesty is best. Don't go too overboard. You don't even have to use words like gorgeous or sexy at first....start with the simple word of beautiful. Women like to be told they are beautiful. :o)

Mine is open...I like to do the same myself.

Welcome to MFP...I'm on my 2nd week and I've lost 2 lbs as well. Just keep doing what ur doing! Good luck!

BUMP! Can't WAIT to try this. Thanks for this post!

Yay!!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I will try to comprehend all of this...it's a lot. I just about feel a lil overwhelmed right now with all this information. The choices I make with my foods are all about my time (which I don't have much of). I don't have time to do a lot of the things you are suggesting. I have to cook and prepare things…

I know!! I know I need to loose at least 10 more pounds to be inside my healthy BMI weight, but I really want to loose 20 more lbs at least. I don't feel overweight, I think I carry my weight well, but I feel out of shape and I want to feel better, have more energy, be healthy. I was in SHOCK over my labs. My last…

Yeah my numbers were as follows. Cholesterol 240, Triclycerides 146, HDL 49 and LDL was 168.

I have been exercising....I've been doing everything right. My HDL shows that. I just need to try the fiber I guess...I mostly drink water only...except for occasionally a v8 fruit fusion or lite lemonaid, but that is rare......

Wow!! Ok...I'm excited at the amount of support I've been offered already. I'm definitely not alone out there when it comes to generational high cholesterol! I don't know what to try first...but one thing that keeps screaming out in the posts (that I'm not already trying) is FIBER. So I'm going to start by upping that for…

I read this the other day...thought it was kinda neat. Aspire to Inspire before you Expire. :o))

HDL was good. LDL was bad. Triglycerides and BP are good. Wow!!! Your grandmother is 96 with a cholesterol that high! Amazing! I am pretty sure mine is genetics on my father's side, but my father is deceased, as well as his parents (cancer. How scary is that?) So I can't confirm what their contribution is.

Hey... My liver is fine. The only issues I've ever had was when I was pregnant and had pre-eclampsia (pregnancy induced high blood pressure).....They had to induce labor at 8 months because they were afraid the affects my blood pressure was having on my liver. No issues with blood pressure at all before or after pregnancy…

Leslisa...I tried Niacin once when it was really high in my 20's.......BAD REACTION....how does it do for you???

Yay!! Thanks for the advice!! Some of these things I'm already doing....I eat red meat once a week probably. I eat Vennison mostly or Chicken. ( My husband is an avid deer hunter) Most of my vegetables are frozen ( I put up garden veggies in the freezer during the summer). I exercise, rarely salt my food. I really think a…
