Greetings, Fellow Challengers

I want to start by giving the results of the physical and complete blood count I had done 2 weeks ago. I have already posted this in the STAC Forum and will do so in the OWL forum, as well. I'm sorry about the triple posting... We've been discussing this in a few places and I didn't want to miss anyone.

Doc's appointment went very well today. He said that my blood pressure is not quite high enough to start meds yet. He is afraid that they would make it go too low. He advised me to get a blood pressure monitor for my home, and if it gets to be consistently at or over 140/90, to come back in. I was at 138/82 today. He said to continue to eat exactly the way I have been eating (he loves Atkins!). He also said to watch my sodium intake, take a magnesium supplement, and exercise, exercise, exercise.

OK - cholesterol numbers. He was very excited about them and said that they were great. Here goes:

Total Cholesterol is 115. The limits are 100-199.
Triglycerides are 49. The limits are 0-149.
HDL Cholesterol is 43. The limits are 40-59. (I'd like this to be a little higher)
VLDL Cholesterol is 10. The limits are 5-40. (I've never heard of this?)
LDL Cholesterol is 62. The limits are 0-99.

Blood sugar was great, urine was great, lungs are clear, heart is normal size, everything else checked out perfect. My thyroid medication (Cytomel for low T3) is doing the job.

I want to take this opprotunity to urge everyone, newbies especially, to get your numbers done. I had only done this once before, in the summer of 2004, after I had been on Atkins for about 10 months and lost 60 pounds. They were good, then, too. Total was 123 and HDL was 41. But, since I had never done them before I changed my WOE, I had nothing to compare them to and don't know how Atkins may have affected my numbers. Were they terrible before or did it make them higher or did it not affect it at all? Who knows... I'm just glad they are good now. I'm sure that it could be a helpful thing to know, though.

Next, I want to acknowledge all of the very kind words about my siggie pic. Man, you people are great. Now, I just wished I would have taken the pic before I had been sitting in the car with a seat belt so my shirt wouldn't have been so wrinkled. I love crisp, white cotton... it wrinkles bad, though.

Hey people, aren't we doing a great job? We've crossed the 100 pound mark!! Let's all keep it up, and continue with our best effort.

Hi guys! Mitzi that's great! So exited for you, and you look absolutely fabulous! love the outfit!
I had a busy day out with my dad, took him to the Dr., and to shopping... it was sooo fun! He's kinda old, moves slow... it was good to slow myself down and go at his pace... he's soo sweet to people... polite, insists on opening doors, me going first... etc... gentlemanly... it's nice. Anyways that's why I haven't had time to post!
but I did lose another pound today! So mark me down 5/10 now! Yeah! halfway there! Also got into my only pair of size 12 pants I haven't worn for a year... very exiting and also they were comfortable too! (but they're also stretchy... lol!)
so I guess we're down to 101 lbs now! freakin' awesome!

Wow, Liz! You have really taken off... this is really good news. Keep doing what you're doing, because it works.

Your dad sounds like a really great guy... we need more people like that in the world. Glad you got to spend some time with him.

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

Mitzi, those are great stats. Makes me want to run out and visit the doctor (ugh....it's almost that "time" again). I love hearing that a doc is on Atkins side. Nice!

Liz, lady, you are just a melting machine! Cool beans on making it 1/2 for your Labor Day Challenge already!!!!

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

Way to go Liz and Mitzi! I bought a size 14 dress for my niece's wedding. I also fit into a size 38 jeans! I put on a size 36, and I could get it on without laying on the bed, but do have a slight overhang. This WOL and WOE is great!
