mjmetcalf Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just back from the doctor's office. Last week I had my cholesterol checked and the results are in. Last July I had it checked and here are those results first: Triglycerides - 178 (highlighted as to high) Cholesterol - 147 (in range) LDL Cholesterol - 78 (in range) VLDL Cholesterol - 36 (highlighted as to high) HDL Cholesterol - 33 (highlighted as to low) Here are the results from last week. Triglycerides - 46 (down 74%, no longer highlighted) Cholesterol - 120 (down 18%) LDL Cholesterol - 74 (down 5%) VLDL Cholesterol - 9 (down 75%, no longer highlighted) HDL Cholesterol - 37 (up 12% but still highlighted as to low) This is what happens when you eat right, exercise, and lose about 40 pounds. Thanks for reading. Quote I might be a Scout. I might be a Ranger. I haven't decided yet. Link to comment
prefect42 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 That is awesome. Congratulations! It's of course a very rewarding thing to simply feel better, but these numbers are pretty nice proof that you've been doing the right things. Keep it up!
