  1. A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor to have a checkup. She looked at my chart and noticed
    that my total cholesterol 2 years ago was 230. It was that high before I gained the weight.

    So when I went back today for my follow up I expected her to put me on cholesterol medicine. NOT!!.
    According to my blood work by new total cholesterol is now 171! All levels good. The doctor was
    quite proud of me. All without medicine. Just good healthy eating thanks to WW. I am eating less
    meat, very little fat, or cheese and exercising.

    So there are other reasons for joining WW besides losing weight.

  4. Congratulations Laura!!! That is really great news!!

    I have a stupid question--what does NSV stand for? I've tried to figure it out, being new and all,
    but just can't--could someone please tell me?

  7. Laura,

    That sounds wonderful, I bet the Dr. had to pick her chin up off the floor. Now she has someone that
    is her patient and is losing on ww and maybe she will recomend ww to her patients that need to lose
    weight and enquire about what has worked Irma "Laura" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ITevb.299944$0v4.18123721@bgtnsc04-

    Oh, well done! Sometimes that side of it gets ignored in the battle with the scales, but it's just
    as important as the weight loss.

    junior high school at a health fair and it was 150 then. Maybe that would
    be something I should get checked? 🙂

  20. I did not expect the Cholesterol to go down so it was a surprise to me. It's been 200+ for about 15
    years. My mother's got has high as 350+ a few years ago. Took a long time with medication for it to
    finally come down to acceptable levels.
