Breaking News Alert!Ok, well it's not that breaking...but I got a call from the cardiologist's office today. You may remember that I had a very sobering appointment in May where I found out my cholesterol had skyrocketed. At the time, I vowed to eat healthier, exercise more, and I upped my medication to 20mg Lipitor, instead of 10.So yesterday I had labs done, and my results:Total Cholesterol: Was 233 Now 139Triglycerides: Was 111 Now 80LDL: Was 156 Now 82I think that's alot better, and I'm not quite sure what to chalk it up to yet, except that it's good.

You are obviously doing something right! Those are huge differences... Just keep on doing what you\'re doing! Congrats.
cool, keep it up and you\'ll have back your girlish figure in no time. :0)
EEKS,
that\'s absolutely WONDERFUL :DDD
That\'s A LOT better!!! mine is 250-something!!! heart disease on both sides of the family!!! But my blood pressure is below normal,,go figure!!!
Well done!!! PS - the total cholesterol is not supposed to be above 199 - so your good as far as that goes now.
that is great! I think you should chalk it up to your desire to be healthier and your motivation to do so. The healthy eating, the exercise, and the diligence in meds are all good things that you did to become healthier. Realize that you did a very good thing by watching over yourself, and don\'t doubt it ever. Lots of luv to you
