Hi all! I went to the dr. today for my yearly physical and I just got my blood results back. In September 2010, I got horrible numbers so I straightened up, lost a little weight and I was able to lower the numbers. I fell back into old habits and regained the weight, plus a couple of pounds. I jumped back on the bandwagon and have been logging in for 130 days now. I was afraid that my numbers had gone back up but I was wrong!

Here are my results with Sept 10/Feb 11/Feb 12

Cholesterol 236/191/169
Triglycerides 237/152/95
HDL 42/40/41 (still working on this one)
LDL 146/120.6/109
Glucose 90/83/87 (hoping my recent change to more protein will rectify this)

Overall, I am ecstatic! I did it with diet and exercise. No meds, except for my vitamins. I was so scared for my boys when I got those first results. Now, I know I am taking better care for myself.

Oh, and for a small scale victory, I weighed in 9lbs less this year than last. :D
