my chart and noticed that my total cholesterol 2 years ago was 230. It

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.

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.

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

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.

Non-Scale Victory - any good result of the diet that is not directly
tied to the scale - fitting smaller clothes, losing inches, or getting
better medical reports, compliments, etc

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?

what a wonderful NSV, and maybe your body was doing all of that readjustment
during your plateau time and is now ready to resume with a whoosh!!! Lee

Oh, then I have a NSV too! I just went for my blood work. I have diabetes,
I imagine because of my weight. My b/g read only yesterday morning.

This doctor has never said anything bad about WW. I haven't had my regular
physical with her yet just the gyn exam. Her speciality is Women's Health.

She did ask me if I liked Curves. When I told her I loved it she said that
a lot of her patients go there and like it too.

Thanks. My mother frequently asks me what my cholesterol levels are. Now I
can tell her how they have gone down without the aid of medicine. She needed
medicine to get hers to normal levels.

God, I hope so!
