Recently, my parents have been diagnosed with some pretty unfortunate health issues so I've been on a quest to get healthy and stay healthy. I had my annual blood work done and got the results this morning. My cholesterol dropped 27 points! Total: 131. I have never been this healthy in my life, not even as a child! It's never too early or too late to take control of your health!

    Congrats! That's awesome! I'm currently working on lowering my cholesterol as well. I refuse to take any medication and I know I can do with with some hard work and eating right. WTG!

    That's what prompted me too to join and lose weight. My doctor told me I have 4 months to drop my cholesterol or else I go on meds. So I have until June to do it. Good for you, that's awesome!

    That's awesome. Many people thing younger folks can't have high cholesterol but it's a common misconception. Cheers to health!

    Great job, OP! And you can do this too. I did! Oatmeal every morning, less cholesterol consumed overall (meat and dairy), fish oil capsules daily....my cholesterol dropped 60 POINTS in 4 months.... it CAN be done!
