My DR. says the Chl level is at 240 and I am one sneeze away from a heart attack. I have joined the gym and pool at our local community college, that I also attend. DR. gives me 6 months to drop some weight, lower my BMI and Chl. I also have my 25th class reunion and my 2nd son's high school graduation. Many goals and many resons!!!

I'm fairly certain that it's the culprit behind your cholesterol level and the "failure" of the diet pills. You're never too old to start living healthier, so my hat goes off to ya for wanting to take control of yourself. It takes a very strong commitment, but the rewards far exceed simple weight loss! At any rate, has your doctor talked at all about your eating plan? Your diet doesn't have to be a four letter word, but you need to moderate any of the things that are bad for you, and pay very close attention to calorie counts and portion sizes. You've come to the right place for help and support, so fire away with any and all questions!
