Well kiddies this is what it's all about. Had a physical yesterday and the Doc. said...
Cholesterol 183
blood pressure 118/72
all bloodwork in normal range
My BP is high and I use medication but this is the lowest its been in 15 years. He said if I shave a few more points off, we may try it without the medication.
I confessed to fried shrimp once a week and he said the cholesterol would be even better without that. I said fat chance.
I asked him about weight charts that say a 6' tall man needs to weigh 155 to 180 lbs. I weigh 212. He basically said fagedaboutit you are not over weight.
I blame these little victories largely on the exercise and nutrition tidbits I've read on this sight.
Thanks guys abd gals,

AWWW Shucks it ain't no big thing! Congrats! Keep up the good work. One word about his weight scale for 6 foot men....those charts DO NOT take in consideration of the Muscle mass you have......According to the charts I should be 189 but if I weighed that much I would have ribs sticking out. So just take that chart with a grain of salt. My doctor while saying I was way over weight, is aware of the muscle I have and says as long as my BP heart rate cholesertol is the levels they are she is not going to worry that much....so keep that in mind!

Good work Charlie. Keep going and you will be off the meds in no time!
According to the charts I should weigh around 145, but low and behold, I am 174, and very healthy.
Keep going!
