Ok, misunderstood, your original post. I thought you got your cholesterol results back and it was 425. Daily consumption less bad than your actual test results, however consuming this much will still have an impact on that too. Concentrate on diet with less animal fats which increase risk of heart disease/stroke. Diet…

I am sorry but this is bad advice. Yes, your body needs cholesterol to function. But to say ridiculously high cholesterol is not dangerous for the posters health is just wrong. OP, yes unfortunately I think you should be concerned and adjust your diet with aide of physician and licensed nutrtionist.

Awesome!

Congratulations on starting a new healthy life together! That's fantastic! Great job!

Thanks everyone for the great advice!

Wonderful story. You look fantastic, happy, and healthy. Great job!

Unfortunately cellulite has a lot to do with genetics of your skin collagen. Even thin people have it. It's OK. Try to embrace every part of you. My stretch marks used to drive me crazy. Now I just consider myself a tiger who has earned her stripes. :)

We have a park 1 block from my house with huge field and running track, along with a playground. So I think we're good on that.

Thanks so much for the advice. My son was excited with the idea when I proposed it. He has had more runs with my 65 year old father-in-law than me. Time to change that!

My goal weight is roughly what I weighed in my profile pic, nearly 15 years ago. I felt sexy back then at tender age of 21. Current weight 209, goal 140. I plan on focusing on being stronger so final weight may be different. I still have those pants stored away somewhere! Likely no longer in style, but it would be cool if…

Agree with above advice. There are also push up apps which gradually increase the amount you do per day. I think I am going to do that too!

See a doctor. If your diet, exercise, and stress level haven't changed, then you should get checked out for medical problems which can cause fatigue, such as a thyroid issue.

I will be happy to be your friend. :)

Oh, and full disclosure I am a PA, hopefully you are ok with them. ;) Feel free to add me.

I too am starting over, again. I have successfully lost weight a few times in the past and have now found myself at heaviest ever. Got down to 148 three years ago then fell back into old habits of eating everything in sight. I put on 75 pounds in 3 years!!! Decided it was enough and my husband is joining me on a mission to…

Do you have a Wegmans near you? They have cheapest fresh skinless boneless chicken breasts. Just $1.99 per pound for a family pack! I suggest getting that for protein. I throw a whole package (about 3 lbs) in crock pot with seasonings and a little brother on low for 8 hours. Then I have tons of healthy shredded chicken for…

Hard core

Awesome job! Congratulations. You look great! Happy and healthy.

:happy: :drinker:

I have lost about 37, 13 pounds away from my goal of 50! Feel free to add me.

We seem like we would be a good fit. I have been logging daily since November, missed a day or two. I have lost quite a bit of weight and am now about 13 pounds from goal. It's amazing that now I am close to goal, my goals of changed from a number on a scale to fitness goals. For example, I have now set out to be able to…

I made mini frittata muffins today and have leftovers. Basically you sautee whatever you like in an omelet, put it in little muffin tins than pour uncooked egg in it. Put them in the oven at 400 until they are puffed and dig in. Great for kids.

Congratulations! That is an amazing achievement!

Wow! I just checked out the hundredpushups website and am very excited about it. thanks!

I am built very much like you it sounds. My legs have always been so much stronger than my top. I have been doing chest press, flys dips, and curls. To work my way up to pushups I have done girly pushups for the last month. I can do 12 modified ones now and just tried standard pushups the other day and could do 3! That is…

I agree the above post that you shouldn't choose your activity level based on deliberate exercise. I seem to be similarly active as ypu with my job as I am on my feet most of the day walking in a hospital and I choose lightly active as my activity level. If you choose active you wouldnt be able to log your exercise because…

Feel free to friend me. I am a working mom with 2 little ones, almost 4 and 2. I joined way back when my first baby was born but didn't really stay committed. I have been consistent now since November and have lost 30 pounds in that time! It is possible to balance both but can be hard at times. For me, eliminating…

Skinnytaste.com has great recipies that are yummy. For snacks, I always have veggies cut up on hand which I eat with hummus or laughing cow cheese, fruit, nuts, string cheese. Good luck.

I am a neurology physician assistant and have no idea what he is talking about. I opened the post because I thought meant your doctor recommended anabolic steroids! Which of course is totally ridiculous. Sorry can't help. Ask him to give you some info on it. I am assuming he possibly means eating a more whole foods diet…

This site is great! Stay determined and you can do it!
