your diet and exercise sounds great, only suggestion is look for the culpret which is FAT, check all labels and for a week try to keep under 2 grams of fat per item, that means NO peanut butter, the ole boy would have a tube of ritz and peanut butter every nite, NOT any more!!!!!....I promise you, give up the FAT until you see a change and then slowly add protein, with protein shake or chicken and fish and maintain!

Yogurt (low fat) for a snack, fish and chicken, and---one day a week, something that I may be craving, such as ice cream or pizza. Exercise with a class three times a week and yard work or walking the other days. Cardio Interval type of exercize with the group. I plan to eat every three hours or so, but small quantities--a piece of fruit, a few nuts, a handful of little carrots. Second favorite breakfast or any meal or snack is a slice of whole grain toast with a teaspoon of peanut butter and one of apricot preserves. Sadly, my cholesteral and triglyceride numbers have not improved, but I'm not giving up yet
