BLOOD WORK RESULTS ARE IN!
Before I reveal the numbers let's discuss what they were. In 1991 Total cholesterol was 192 at 185 lbs. In 1993 when I hit 212 lbs, Total cholesterol was 302, In 2001, at 240 lbs, it was 307, and my HDL was only 33, and LDL was 243. My triglycerides were around 350. In 2008, at 240 lbs, after some minor weight loss, I ended up in hospital with heart attack symtoms... turned out be bad reflux, but cholesterol was still 297. Went into denial and stopped checking after that.. so in January when I weighed my heaviest at 262 lbs, i can only assume my numbers were higher than ever!
So without further ado, after 8 months of clean eating, no medications, and moderate exercise resulting in 63+ lb fat loss, my numbers are...
Total 237 (from 307+)... 23% decrease
LDL 157 (from 243+)... 36% decrease
HDL 57 (from 33-)... 72% increase!
TRI 113 (from 350)... 78% decrease!
