Cholesterol Update

Just got the results of my 3 month followup cholesterol checkup:

Modifiying my diet and exercising at least 3 times a week has allowed me to lose 10 lbs in the 3 months.

Initial cholesterol results:
Total cholesterol: 259
LDL (bad cholesterol): 150
HDL (good cholesterol): 36

Current cholesterol results:
Total cholesterol: 148
LDL (bad cholesterol): 87
HDL (good cholesterol): 40

LDL should be below 100 and HDL should be above 40. Things are going great on the cholesterol front. Will need to have it checked again in 3 months.

Good job!!! More then likely Dad and I should follow your example. It is surprising what exercise and watching what you eat can do. Keep up the good work.
