Hello, I am just wondering how your health stats have improved since you began your fitness and lose weight life changes.

I'm curious as to know your past and present:
- Glucose (mmol/L)
- Blood pressure (Sys/Dia)
- Heart rate (per min)
- HDL and LDL cholesterol (mmol/L)

And any other health state you want to disclose. Please put the unit as we all live in different countries and this helps for clarity. :blush:

    - Resting heart rate: 75 bpm
    - HDL/LDL: normal, controlled w/ medication

    March 2017 @ 6'0" @ 180 lbs/82 kg, 58 YO, vigorous exercise 3-4 times/week

    I don't have some of the health stats, you won't see any drastic changes but here they are:
    Age: 21-22 y/o
    Weight: 66kg (145.5lbs) - 55kg (121lbs)
    Blood Pressure: 123/79 - 104/69
    Resting Heart Rate: 76bpm - 53bpm
    But Glucose and Cholesterol are good.

    Before: Yoga 1-3x a week (15-90min)
    After: Vigorous exercise 2-6x a week (15-60min) + yoga 3-6x a week (15-90min)

    My fasting glucose dropped from 95 to 84, b/c I stopped eating "five small meals a day." I was likely eating more often (6 or 7 small meals).

    I was overall very healthy/fit, but my fasting glucose kept creeping up. My friend, who has a Master's in Exercise Sci & Nutrition, recommended I change the way I eat to 3 meals and fat/protein based snack between (eggs, cheese, nuts, etc.). It worked for me.
