I don't post too many threads but this is one worth sharing.

I received my official letter today and this is the best quote ever. It's to my Nurse Practitioner at work regarding my medical status................

"Mr.White has been seen and treated in this office for Hypertension and Type II Diabetes Mellitus. As a result of significant life style change, diet , exercise and weight loss these conditions no longer require medications."

Total Cholesterol was 204, now 167.
Triglycerides Were 174 now 114......
HDL (good) was 42 (min 40) Now 58......
LDL was 127, now 86......
LDL/HDL Cardiac risk factor was 4.9 (3.0 is good) now 2.9......
Liver functions all returned to normal values......
HbA1C was 7.8, now 6.2 (i wanted 6.0 or less but I'll take it!)......
Fasting glucose was 145, now 86......

You folks are the instrument of change. Be proud of yourselves for helping make my repair, so far, a smashing success... Love you all...Jim

This is motivation! Fuel it! Flex it! Fill it!

    Hi,

    What awesome news!!!! By making my LIFEstyle change and losing weight, I was able to avoid being put on insulin, and was able to successfully quit taking Lipitor for my cholesterol. I was having some side effects from the Lipitor, and quit it cold turkey, kind of against my doctor's advice. The weight loss and exercise I do has kept my blood tests in the normal ranges for over four years now.
