Hi Tillie, and Welcome!
I too have high cholesterol (and IBS). Check this out: web page
Ten pounds overweight isn't a lot, not by a long shot. I'm more than that. I'm on Weight Watchers and doin' real well with it. My goal is to lose it all by September, when my doc has me scheduled for lab tests towards the possibility of putting me on cholesterol meds. I'm determined not to have to take it.
How am I gonna do it? Well, like I said, I'm on Weight Watchers and losing weight, slowly but surely. I'm exercising daily and cutting out the sweets and fats. I think I can do it.
Grilled fish and chicken are great. Just lay off the salads until you get stable; go for home-made vegetable soup instead (and LOTS of it). Try a fruit smoothie using low-fat soy milk and soy "ice cream" -- YUMMMMM!
Above all, get Heather's book and follow it to the letter. You'll get better, I promise.
