Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a while. I do have some good news though. My cholesterol has dropped from 206 to 121, YES 121. I am now down 51lbs and also off my blood pressure meds. Last blood pressure was 114/70.

Wow!!! That is fantastic news. I love seeing the numbers go down. You deserve a pat on the back since you have really been working and the numbers are showing it too.  I wish you would post more often since I enjoy hearing from you. I miss you when you aren't here. Hope to see more of you. Sending love and hugs to you.

Ahhh Brenda thanks so much for saying you miss me here on the boards. I didn't think anyone noticed that I wasn't posting.

Well, to catch you and anyone else that wants to know. I've been walking with Lora several times a week. Last week DH was off work and you know how they "cramp" your style when they're off. Didn't get too much done. School is out next Wednesday and right after school that day we jump in the car to head to Cincinatti for a baseball tournament my son is in on June 12-13-14-15. We travel a lot for baseball in the summer. We are going as far as St. Petersburg FL this year. Tomorrow evening is his high school baseball banquet.

We are cheering loud for our Pittsburgh Penguins. I hope they win tonight to stay in the game. They are such a talented group of young men and they really deserve to win the Stanley Cup. DH and DS went to the game last week here in Pittsburgh when they won. They had a great time. The last time the Penguins won the Stanley Cup was the year DS was born 1992.

Thanks again for missing me. Big Hug 

Mary

Aloha Mary....and YES on good luck to your Penguins! Both of my sons play ice hockey and have been Sharks fans for years, but now that the Sharks are out, they are rooting for the Penguins....me, too!!

I am SO HAPPY for you and your excellent numbers on cholesterol and BP. This surgery is so life changing isn't it. I, too, was so delighted when my cholesterol went from 226 to 155, and BP from 145/95 to 110/60....those were fringe benefits for me.

Keep up the great work, and PLEASE come back often and share your journey with us.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Congratulations on your wonderful news!  You're doing a great job, hey if you get near to the Philadelphia/SWNJ area, let me know and perhaps we can say hi. Hugs, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen
