Cholesterol...

I THINK it was 282, not positive.

POMTZU,

I'm going to increase the fish oil to 4 tabs a day and put up with fish burps. *sigh*

They do make 'burpless' omega 3 pills. My mom takes those and has never complained about bupring. I believe she got hers at Wally's World. It said 'burpless' right on the label.

I've taken fish oil caps all my life and weigh much less than my doctor would like me to weigh. But my cholesterol is sky high, been on meds for ages. Seems it runs in the family on my mother's side and nothing for me to do but try and keep eating healthy. I think the exercise has more to do with keeping it down, when I was able to be active I never had a problem.

Aww Donna i am so sorry to hear this, i know how hard you have worked at loosing the weight and exercising, however you keep at that, because it is only doing you good, unfortunately you have that hereditary disposition for it, nothing much you can do about it,at least you have the satisfaction of knowing that you did your very best, chin up girl, and keep up the good work, there will be rewards, maybe not the low cholesterol you wanted, but many more, i know you already know all that, but doesn't hurt to re-enforce it in your mind, HUGS.

Donna, from your first post:

Before I started the diet, it was 282

So it HAS come down - to 246! 36 points! Keep it up! Fish oil and all.

Day at a time!

Thanks everyone. I'm not going to let it deter me from getting this weight off. I actually enjoy working out and swimming. So I am now on yet another med. I tell ya, getting old stinks.
