Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
For me, the first 20 lbs. came off easily...I lost the first 20 in 6 weeks. Then it slowed down some. I've lost another 7 in the 4 weeks since. I'm waiting until it's been 6 months before I get my blood tested. I forget all the numbers, but I know that my total cholesterol was 205, high normal. I'm just over 6'1", and I… -
Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
Baldy, I wanted to thank you again for spreading the word. I weighted in at 175 lbs this morning (down from 219), even Dr. Fuhrman put my ideal weight at 170, so I am very close. I have also been checking my BP and it has dropped from ~130/90 to ~110/70. I have been trying to take the lead and tell others how to do it,… -

Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
Full disclosure time: You've seen me ask for the numbers from everyone for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. And from somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 people I've monitored, the blood pressure fell to below 120 unless they were cheating, the cholesterol typically fell to 170... Except, ironically, mine. At… -
Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
This happened to me and was soooo discouraging, especially after working so bloody hard. Unlike you I was working out a lot, almost two hours/day and had dropped 40 pounds. My total cholesterol went from 214 to 235. My doc said, "it's in the genes." But apparently, there were several factors at work for me: 1. When you're… -
Re: Andy/Baldy - feed me
Confused about statins and cholesterol level Man, can it be confusing to figure out what is and isn't true in the world of health. I am currently very confused about the health benefits of statins to lower your cholesterol when your cholesterol level is moderate (~180). A number of years ago, I had a total cholesterol…
