Hi Miss_Tia, it doesnt sound like you have much sit time... but maybe when your at your computer, kick your chair to the curb and get an exercise ball.

I struggle with posture, because I have hidden my boobs since puberty.

Im working on it now, and sitting on the ball helps. To be better balanced, the body tends to straighten itself. I NOTICE my slouch on the ball, and correct it faster.

Its helping my abdominals a lot. JUST TO SIT! I got mine for 20 bucks at weight watchers, but I see used ones for 5 and 10 bucks on craigslist all the time.

Weight remaining stable. No further loss since last hospital discharge but no gain either.

Got my fasting lab results back today from blood drawn about 2-weeks ago and for the first time in over 15 years, my cholesterol is normal, actually better than normal-it dropped a staggering 100 points. Triglycerides, HDL and LDL also excellent.

I have been on Lipitor for 4-6 weeks but also feel cutting out high fat diet helped greatly, including remaining off of sweets- no pies, cakes, cookies or ice cream for almost a year now. A recent Graham cracker splurge has been the extent of my sweets.

Good to see so many new folks posting in here these days and so many "old-timers" continuing the good fight to health!
