Just need to brag about my levels!

[bpollina]

Hi! I'm mostly a lurker around here, but I wanted somewhere to brag!

Since starting almost 3 months, ago, here's how my levels have changed:

Total Cholesterol has improved from 230 to 145
Triglycerides: 176 to 72
LDL 148 to 96
HDL 47 to 35
Fast BS: 107


And I FEEL GREAT! Now if I could just get my wife to stop knocking Atkins! She absolutely HATES that I'm on this WOE and WOL! She still resents that I can't have Pizza, Pasta, Bread and Potatoes! I miss them somewhat, but after this news, I'm not changing!

Even my doctor doesn't think this WOL will last, but said to keep up what I was doing! (he believes we should just do a lower carb version of the ADA diet as does my wife!).

PROVE HIM WRONG! You're doing GREAT!

Wonderful news. Congratulations! You stick to your guns. :guns
This is your body and only you can save it!!
My Doc actually recommended Atkin's, and is incredibly pleased that I have stuck with it this long.
Tell them this is a WAY OF LIFE (WOL) Not a diet!!

Glad you came out of lurkerville, and decided to join us! Welocme to the boards!!!

Hugs,Tammy

You are SUCH a BRAG !!!!!

CONGRATS !!!!!

I love your bragging. You have great news and its so hard to keep quiet when you feel so good. I agree, show your doctor wrong.

My husband was also against me doing something so dangerous as ATKINS. He bought into the negative things he heard. But, now, he tells everyone about it, defends it to people who bad-mouth it, and he sees how happy and healthy I've become.

Levels!

Your levels are great! I never got a chance to go and get mine checked Out before I started this woe/wol. I did know my blood pressure though, and while it was not high to begin with, it is even better now.

You are doing fantastic. Don't let non-believers get you down, once you've reached goal hey will believe.

Congrats on all your success and proving once again that the naysayers know nothing about this WOE. Good job!!
