Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner yesterday: You know you need to lose weight when you identify.

Comment by Lillie on May 18, 2013 at 9:10pm: Thanks, Ruth. I'll try.

Comment by Ruth Anthony-Gardner on May 18, 2013 at 12:46pm: After the latest data showing Lipitor interferes with exercise having benefits, and damages mitochondria, I agree it's good to avoid cholesterol meds. On the other hand, cholesterol is very scary. If you stabilize at 5 lbs higher, I'd say just live with that, Lillie.

Comment by Lillie on May 16, 2013 at 7:39pm: I was maintaining my weight really well until my doctor put me on a low cholesterol diet. I immediately gained 5 lbs. on this diet. Would it be better to be lighter with higher cholesterol or heavier with low cholesterol? This is very discouraging. However, I do not want to be put on medication to control cholesterol.
