Sorry this took me so long to post back...the message boards have been all hooey, and then Kyle got on the computer...

As you all know, back in February, I had my cholesterol done, and it was high. And I did the low fat, low carb thing for three weeks before seeing the dietician, who tweaked here and there, and limited my calories.

February Cholesterol Numbers:

- Total: 292 (Yikes!)

* Triglycerides: 106

* HDL: 61

* LDL: 210 (Double yikes! My 'bad' cholesterol was REALLY bad!)

Today's Numbers:

- Total: 213 (Down almost EIGHTY points!)

* Triglycerides: 114

* HDL: 65 (The 'good' got better!)

* LDL: 125 (Lookin' good!)

I did this in a little under two months, so let's hope that by June, I will be under 200 for my total!***Kicking myself that the dietician was right***

The whole reason I've been busting this diet out is to prevent having to go on cholesterol lowering meds. It's looking like I won't have to, now. And imagine how much better my numbers would be if I excersized more?

***Conceding I am FLAGRANTLY GUILTY of not excersizing as much as Dr. told me too*********
