lower my cholesterol

New dr wants me to take a cholesterol lowering drug that starts with a Z. I picked it up today.
He said my numbers are all bad and I will get it checked again in 3 mos.
He agreed that last dr did not have me on the right meds.

High cholesterol is in my genes.

Last year, at 18, my cholesterol was 213.
This year, at 19, my latest test said my cholesterol had reached a whopping 300! The doctor said this is most likely inaccurate, since I haven’t been eating 10 big macs a day, and I am going back in a month to retest.

But either way, I am now consciously tackling my cholesterol. My goal is at least 190.

I am walking for 2 hours, 5 days a week. During the weekend I am still active with friends, but don’t set goals. I am trying the cheerios challenge, eating cheerios for breakfast and later in the day. I have cut out red meat almost entirely (My family went to texas de brazil a week ago, so I caved a little then, and I accidentally had ground beef in what I thought was vegetarian pasta at a family get-together, but other than that I’m clean), and started a multivitamin.

Hopefully these measures will help. We’ll see next month.

since I have not been very good on this,. I thought daily notes would help.
taking fish oil
taking vitamins.
walking or something for 30 mins
pilates( makes.
since it is morning, I will make notes later on today

have not been trying on this at all.
I need to walk, eat right and take my fish oil. I forget all about this with trying to work, having the kids home with me… often not getting a good sleep…
I guess today I can make a sign for all the stuff I need to remember for ME.
I do so much but the days fly by!

My doctor said my numbers were not bad enough to worry about. She’s more concerned that I put on some pounds (yeah right!). She said she’d be worried if I was otherwise unhealthy, but all other lab results say everything is A-OK. I guess I need to quit eating all my boyfriends buttery sweets. :)

I want to lower my cholesterol, asap.

I don’t want to eventually get some illness that cannot be cured. Some type of cancer, diabetes? I need to get rid of this fast.. and now! It’s hard not to eat forbidden foods.

I’ve been fighting borderline for 2 years now and am sick of getting bigger and bigger with no energy. My job is stressful, I’m depressed about everything and am not myself! I don’t know what this is yet, but I hope it helps get me pumped up about taking better care of myself.

My bad cholesterol was 147 when I got my lab reults last week. I think my overall cholesterol was 210. The numbers should be below 100 & 200. I’m not sure what’s normal in terms of the rate of lowering one’s cholesterol. I guess 137 bad by my next doctor’s visit (August or so) shows that I am moving in the right direction?

I am changing my Dr!
I went to my Gynecologist and told her how things have been going with my treatment. ( and what the dr said last week that made me feel really weird)
I am changing to another dr today.
He made fun of me and embarrassed me.
It is time to walk away!
