oh my gosh Donna i am so darn proud of you,i never knew you had lost so much weight, i fell off the wagon a while back and never got back on,still i keep trying, WELL DONE, i hope it has helped your cholesterol, they say you have to cut the fat down and exercise and you have done both, so i am sure there will be some good results unless there is a hereditary factor, you should be sweet.

I don't understand the cholesterol reading, you said 282, our's is done differently here if i am not mistaken, for instance mine was at 3.3 which is excellent, they don't want you to be over five, the less the better, but i had to get my good HDL up a bit, which is the exercise that helps that one, hubby who is thin as a rake was high at 6.5, he cut all the fat out, and of course lost more weight, he was already underweight ,now he is a mere 66kgs at six foot one, you can imagine, almost a skeleton, he is getting his tested next week, so we too are hoping for a good result, he did not do any exercise though.

Let us know how you go, i am keeping all fingers,toes and paws crossed, but i am sure it will be good.
