START<<this Page>> It all came down to the cigatettes and sitting... At 250-pounds my Cholestral was also 250(combined)... I could only do about 15-minutes of walking excersise in the beginning...today I'm virtually a Gene Kelly at 4-miles...carrying weights in my Back-Pack... ...In my personal journey useing ITEMS(addictive)Oral-pacifiers of some type...even too much coffee...I have found that the body is just "polluted" at some point... Too re-invigorate...the body is not very difficult...only that you doo not want to "Flush" away the good stuff... That's about it in a easy defining moment... It takes some NoteBooks and a few Gadgets to monitor the situation... And about 3-years to be 100%...and then it just never stops...you stick to your guns and regimen... You may not live longer than a smoker... But you will feel better in the process... Good Luck..Do-it ........................................................
