I had my yearly wellness check through work this morning, and I don't think I've ever been more excited to have my lipids checked. I started running and taking nutrition more seriously about 6 months ago, so I was expecting to see some positive changed in my numbers. And I can say definitely, my efforts have been validated.
Weight: Down 25 lbs
Cholesterol: Down 74 points
LDL: Down 32 points
Triglycerides: Down 192 points
Just goes to show what a little effort and sacrifice can do for you!
They'll tell you that failure is not an option. That's ridiculous. Failure is always an option. It is the easiest and most readily available option. It's your choice though.
Congrats! That's completely excellent progress!! Keep up the great work!
But The Smile That I Sent Out Returned With You.
Mostly harmless
Congratulations! Go you!

Sweet. Good stuff.

Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Way to go! Good health is always positive for you and for those who count on you.

That is great! Keep doing it!!
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
That's great. You're De-Americanizing yourself :P
Seriously though, grats.
You're De-Americanizing yourself

That is freakin awesome buddy. I know how you feel. Well done.

Nice work! I'm in the process of doing the same myself. Lost 40 and have diabetes pretty much "in remission" (not taking meds any more) Losing weight is one of the simplest, yet difficult things to do. Everyone knows how, just tough to actually do it.
Way to go!
