Default It's working!!!!

I have been eating healthy and getting active for the past couple of months and I have been loosing weight so I knew something good was going on with my body. Today I got my blood work back from the dr and my cholesterol is much lower (it wasn't actually bad before, but it was getting close). My cholesterol was 135!!!!
I need to work on the 'good cholesterol', but I can handle that. It feels so good to have some numbers showing the fruit of my efforts. Guess eating right and exercising is making my body happy too.

Hey!! Good for you on getting the cholesterol under control!! Yes, eating right and exercising does really have a great impact on your health and body.
So keep it up!!!
I used to be on meds for high blood pressure and diabetes, but since I've lost weight, I'm off of all of that now.
Good luck to you in your goals on becoming healthy and happy!
Debbie

Congrats! My cholesterol numbers went down as well. My M.D. was thinking about putting me on a medication before it started going down. I am hoping I will be able to decrease my blood pressure meds. soon. Keep up the great work!

GREAT JOB!!!

I have been able to cut my dose of blood pressure medicine in half. I cant wait to go back in a few weeks and get it checked again. Im hoping to be on even less as i lose weight. Hubby was at his med dr on monday last week and able to cut his glucose med in half also.

I just got labwork done myself. I was so happy that my fasting blood sugar has gone from 104 to 85
