If you went in for a checkup today, what would your doctor likely tell you to change? Lose weight? Lower your cholesterol? Get more vitamins in your diet?

Maybe some exercise???

My labs are usually always in the normal ranges and look perfect. I'm only overweight cuz of being pregnant and all the water retention going on.

I usually refuse to take vitamins. I don't believe in taking them unless you have been diagnosed with specific deficiencies. But I take the flinestones chewables because I'm pregnant. The prescrip prenatals were over loading my system and that was not good at all, so I stopped those and switched to the flinestones since they have less in them.

I took the Flintstones when pg with Ben. Much better than the prenates that time.

My doc would tell me to lose 20-25 pounds, that my triglycerides are too high, and that I need to exercise. He also starts mammograms at 35 instead of 40, so he'd sign me up for one of those as well (assuming they can do them on lactating breasts??).
