Lots of luck! I know how hard it can be to make those decisions!

Thank you! It was kind of surreal, b/c I've never had to be on a consistent medication other than birth control. I talked to my mom and grandma about it afterwards and it turns out they both have high cholesterol, so part of it is just most likely genetics. What's crazy is that my grandma's was over 800 at one point!!! Mine is 170 now and the doc said they like to start medicating it at 160 or higher. However, some friends just told me that they had never heard of anyone being medicated unless it was over 250. Sigh, I need to do more research. :)

Lots of luck! I need to exercise more/change my eating habits, too. We can encourage each other.

You're in my thoughts, girl.

Thank you, encouragement is key! :)

I'm in the same boat with lack of exercise and eating poorly. Good luck!

And it's so hard to get out of those habits, too! I guess we just have to take it one day at a time.

First off... you look great. You may FEEL bad, but you still LOOK lovely. Second.. I'm sorry you're in a funk. I know how weight bouncing up and down can greatly effect a girl's mood. You can get a head start on a healthy lifestyle... & as soon as our little guy gets here, I'll join ya. I'm going to have lots of baby weight to lose!

ha :) Thank you! As much as I don't feel pretty, it's still nice to hear! And, by the way, you look fabulous at 8 months pregnant! I can only cross my fingers and toes that I'll look as good whenever we have kids!

Thank you! I used to use sparkpeople on a daily basis, and I agree that it's wonderful! I think it may be time to head back down that route!
