Update with my first cholesterol test results...

[zakatak]

Hi.

I've been lurking alot but just thought I would post some of my test results. I am very happy with them!

Age: 36
Weight: 118
Height: 5'5"
Blood Pressure: 102/58

Triglycerides: 83 (want to be below 150)
Total Cholesterol: 132 (want to be below 200)
Glucose: 72 (wants to be under 100)
LDL-bad cholesterol: 81 (want to be below 100)
HDL-good cholesterol: 35
Total Cholesterol/HDL: 3.8 (want the ratio to be under 4.5)

Based on my results, my heart disease risk factor for the next 6 years is 0.1% (point 1 %).

I am thrilled. YAY! Since I made the decision in October, 2002 to lose weight and eat healthier, I have lost 37 pounds and kept it off ! Thanks to all of you for being here for my daily check-ins, even though I don't post daily. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Wow! That's amazing! What great results!

For the first time in my life, I also have my cholesterol, blood sugar & blood pressure under control. I'm curious.....what type of "diet" program are you on?

Keep up the GREAT work!
