One Year Labs

I am happy to report that not only was I taken off my blood pressure meds after one year last week (woohoo!!), but my I just got the call that my labs came in all within range as well! My LDL is 102 (near optimal - it was over 190 a year ago!) My HDL is 37 (needs to be at 40 so doc recommended 1000 mg fish oil/2x a day). I have lost about 68% of my total goal weight loss So with all that said, I might be battling a hella crazy stall/two pound boogie, but my health improvement is a resounding success story. And I went down a pant size again. Stupid stupid scale - must not let it control my life I wish you all the same excellent health results too! Inky

Awesome news!

Thank you thank you!! Inky

Great news! Isn't it great to be healthy?? Inky, dust off the seat next to you in onederland....I'm still hoping to join you soon. Shar

Considering I keep bouncing betwee*****nd 201, there's plenty of room over here in Onderland. I can't wait to sit here with ya (for good!) And it feels so good to be this healthy, aside from the left shoulder tendonitis (i start PT today). How are you feeling btw? Inky

great news Inky, I hope I can stay off my meds as well, my bloood pressure is trying to creep back up, I hope I can increase the exercise and keep it down.

I think I will have a lifelong battle with BP because of family history, but for now, I'm happy to be only taking vitamins and supplements. What is it about meds I hate taking so much, lol! Thank you Inky

Congratulations Inky!!! Doesn't it feel great to be off your meds!! Your post has reminded me that it is not just about the number on the scale. I sometimes get so obsessed with the scale, that I forget about how much healthier we all are. Keep up the good work! Joni

Thank you, Joni. It is so hard to forget that the journey is not about the numbers on the scale. I try try try not to focus on them, but they get the best of me nearly every day. It' s good for me to have a reminder of my better health too! Inky

Seriously Inky you do not need to keep visitng us in 2 ton land .. we will be onderland very soon LOL Lisa
