Re: hello all.. here we go again
Your cholesterol actually isn't that bad. But you do need to raise the good cholesterol (hdl) to around 100 and lower that bad ( ldl) to under 130 and this WOE can actually do that really well. Keep it up you'll do that fine.Mom to 3 wonderful BoysBrett 20(US MARINE)

Re: hello all.. here we go again
Jason - welcome! I'm starting again too. Your story sounds a lot like mine actually. I was really successful years ago and have spent the last few years "trying" to do low-carb, starting over but never lasting long, and coming on these boards periodically. I couldn't figure out what I was missing from the first time. I finally just had to feel ready. I guess no one can make you feel ready, it just has to come from within.
One thing I've done is to go back to writing EVERYTHING down. No guessing. What I never got the hang of last time was OWL and Maintenance so this time, I have to be more methodical so that I can figure out what I can eat and maintain my loss.
Good luck to you! Sorry I can't help with the cholesterol question. I've seen info before but don't remember the specifics. Maybe google it.Jamie
