Hi everyone. I think a question would be great too. Ok, so I went to the doctor on Wednesday and had my bloodwork done. Today the nurse called and said my cholesterol is high..208 & she said it should have been below 200.

She said if I don't work on it now, I will have to take medications when I get older. I am only 24 & will be 25 in October. She recommended that I cut out fatty and fried foods. I am confused b/c I really want to continue w/LC b/c I know I will lose the weight & I don't want to do a lowfat diet.

I am going to do some research before I go grocery shopping b/c I know I will probably have to begin eating more fruits and vegetables. I do know that I will definitely have to add exercise to my daily routine whether I feel like it or not.

It takes 21 days to make a habit and exercise will be my new habit. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I will enjoy sleeping in on Monday.

Was this your first test? If not how did it compare to your other test? Maybe you should try this WOE and re-test then make your mind up, that way you real have a good idea of what is going on.

Hey Everyone-
I just arrived on campus today and I already had two friends tell me that I lost weight! It felt really good because they haven't seen me all summer. I'm definitely going to continue with atkins I feel so much healthier now. On a side note how do you I add my picture to my profile like the rest of you all?

Hello Ladies

Sorry I have not been on the last 2 days VERY busy.... Yeah I was so stressed out last night I came very close to calling it QUITS! I was tempted to eat a big bag of potato chips!!!! I have been training like I told you guys and doing to things on the internet, rising at 3:45 since Wed. and not getting home until 8:00. then coming home and reading assignments, making sure home is well kept, making sure my first job is well kept, my beau, my part-time job, I have had it!!! I had to go in a corner and just ask the Lord to watch out for me! Take it all away, I cried a little and then went to slept!

20b430- I am sorry but happy belated b-day!!

I would have wished it to you earlier.

red- How did you like UofL?

Amiee- I love the question of the day idea!! And I own that first picture in the link, Its not as colorful as on that link is but I LOVE IT! Got it from Home Interior!!

Kalondra, did you also have it done before starting Atkins? I think as you lose the weight the cholesterol will come down. I think you should post that question in the Atkins fourm...or better still go to the journals of LisaN or Doreen or Tofi and ask them what they think. They are very knowledgeable and will able to give you really good advice. Hang in there and don't give up this WOL yet.

I like the idea of the question per day. Maybe everyone can take turns asking a question.

Hi Chantel I did not go to UofL. You meant Skeeweeaka. Hope your time at work goes by fast.

Aimee count me for #1

As far as my cholesterol is going, I haven't ever had a test before so I have nothing to compare it to. I do know that Dr Atkins states cholesterol should be lowered while doing aTkins so I really don't think I am going to give up. I will just add lots more vegetables and fruits in and continue to exercise. I did walk 3 miles this morning and yesterday. I am going around the forum for more information.

Hi ladies, I am new here and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Chyna and tomorrow will be my first day on Atkins. I have about 50+ pounds that I need to lose and I know I can use all of the help, support and advice that I can get. I have a family full of sabotagers so I know that I have a long road ahead of me. Look forward to getting to know you and receiving any tips that you can give me to help my weightloss journey be a successful one.
