Two years ago I decided I wanted to be 180, (mainly to improve my cycling), and hit my goal several months ago. I can once again wear pants with a size 34" waist (actual measured size) just as I did when I was in my early 20's. A couple weeks ago I went to the doc and my BP measured 122/70. I had a routine blood test done at the time, and a few days later the office called me and told me to stop the Lipitor because my total cholesterol was now _too_low_.
Three years ago, I also saw my doctor and he prescribed a cholesterol drug because my cholesterol level was too high at 276. I told him that I would try to control my cholesterol level thru diet and exercise. He said that almost nobody is ever successful in doing that. Like one out of every 3 or 4 hundred. Well, my cholesterol level is now hovering around 170. I guess you and I are quite the exceptions.
