[quote=Anonymous]I did! I had never had normal cholesterol even at my first test at 17 and 107 pounds. Only got higher as I got heavier and older. Finally decided to tackle it to avoid statins. I joined Weight Watchers and lost 55 pounds. That got my total and LDL close enough to normal to avoid statins. Kept it off for 3.5 years so far. Added regular (4 times a week) exercise this past September and I was officially normal at my last physical in June! Total down to 165 and LDL down to 93. Before the weight loss, my LDL was between 129 and 160 and total was well over 200. It makes me proud that I did this without statins and their side effects. Even if you are not overweight and think your diet is fine, I bet there is room for improvement. Also add regular exercise. Good luck! [/quote]
