I'll post my before 2012 and after 2011 when I get 2013 results... I'm sure in a couple of days.
Before in 2010 After 2011
Total Cholesterol = 241 High!! 163 (excellent)
LDL Cholesterol = 141 Borderline High 89 (hum?? still at risk for heart dis?)
HDL = 72 58 (better)
Triglycerides = 138 78 (desirable)
Improved results in just 1 years time with diet (lost 50 pounds) and daily exercise. So much better for my health.. Excited to see if there are any more positive changes in my numbers this year.
Do you save your test results year to year and compare?
