Hey, good for you! I'm sure that having had a heart attack once, you'll be checking with your doctor regularly regarding exercise.
Lots of people react badly to wheat. I have a friend who knows she shouldn't eat it, but sometimes she does anyway, and she gets swollen ankles and such. If I eat whole wheat I get terrible indigestion. Fortunately I love brown rice! (But I limit it for my weight loss program.)
There are lots of folks who will try to tell you what _not_ to do regarding chelation, supplements, and so on. You have to do what works for you.
I don't think 5'2" and 140 pounds makes you a candidate for liposuction--you were joking, right?
That weight and height puts you above healthy weight, according to a chart I have, but certainly not in the obese category. So "take heart"!
