Weight loss and lowered cholesterol?

For those who had high cholesterol, did your numbers decrease with your weight loss? I see my doctor again in April for bloodwork and she said if I continue to lose weight, she is hoping the numbers will decrease. Otherwise, I have to go on a statin. I already take meds for so many other things... would love to hear others' success stories about lowering cholesterol with diet and exercise alone!

    I am headed for the bottom of my BMI range to see if it makes a difference too. I am walk/jogging 2 miles a day to hoping the extra circulation will make a difference too.

    I hope we get some responses on this thread

    Yes. In my experience, you lies weight and your cholesterol numbers go down. Of course, it also depends on what you are eating, too. Good luck! I would do anything not to go on a statin. I've heard horror stories from friends who have had to be on them!
