Just had my annual health assessment at work today.
Aside from the obvious benefit of looking and feeling better, the numbers tell the tale.
7 - Inches lost from my waistline
8 - points lost in my BMI
15 - points in cholesterol lost
22 - points lost in my blood presssure
28 - beats per minute less on my pulse
57 - pounds lost
78 - points dropped in my blood sugar - no longer prediabetic
and the biggie
395 less on my triglycerides.
Where I once was a prediabetic, walking heart attack, I'm now a healthy old man :laugh:
I love MFP!

It truly is amazing when our weight does have negative effects on our health. I see a lot of overweight people who are healthy, but what they don't realize is that it will catch up with them.
Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
