I've been doing Atkins since June of 2003 and recently went for my years physical. I'm a pretty regular blood donor so knew that my overall cholesterol number was good but the doctor wanted the total break down. Well....they were all great!

Total was 148
HDL (good cholesterol) 71 (should be greater than 35)
LDL (bad cholesterol) 56 (should be less than 130!)
Triglycerides 107 (should be less than 130)

Guess I'm living proof that Atkins works and does not "glog your arteries with fat"

Well done! What did the doctor say?

She is thrilled and thinking of dropping down or removing by BP medicine! Yeah!

Carol

Hooray! Great numbers!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed that you are almost to goal!

That's a big "almost" I've basically lost nothing since December!errrrr.....

Carol

I know how you feel because I am stuck too. But on the brighter side it is better to be stuck at 134 instead of 204.

Carol- those are great numbers. I will have mine redone in May, and you are an inspiration!
