I've been as high as 317 (when I was in my 20s) to the 190s. I got it down by eating right and exercising, which has enabled me to lose the amount of weight I needed to. I was perhaps 20lbs overweight at my heaviest. I eat alot of veggies and always an apple a day. I don't like oatmeal very much, but I do like cheerios.

I haven't tried the Metamucil, but perhaps I will. I go in for a checkup this summer.

My doc said that with my family history, the low 200s is fine, but I need to make sure it doesn't creep up.
