Hi, All. I am so excited. For those who wondered if SB helps lower cholesterol, I've been on the plan since March 3, 2008, have lost 17 3/4 lbs and lowered my cholesterol 40 POINTS!!! And I'm not taking any cholesterol lowering drugs!!! Good and bad cholesterol are all within normal limits.

I just added exercise to my routine day before yesterday (swimming) and hope to lose a bit quicker. But if not, so what. Slow and steady wins the race.

nice job!! wish more people realized this was far more about improving your general health and reducing risks for diabetes and heart disease than it is about weight loss. Whenever I see people disappointed about their particular weight loss situation and whether it is really "working", I often think, "yeah but you're so much healthier eating this way even when the scale isn't cooperating". think, but do not say... ;)

Anyway, congrats again!!

Congratulations! I'm supposed to be eating healthier in part to lower my LDL number, and I was concerned that I'm eating too many eggs to do that. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

Thanks, All.

Everyone at work asked which drug I was taking, Crestor or Plavix. They were really surprised when I told them it was just SB healthy eating.

Even when I permit myself something not strictly SB, I use SB ingredients. For instance, I LOVE fried chicken. But I remove all skin and visible fat, soak it in buttermilk with Kosher salt and pepper sauce added; flour it with whole grain pastry flour and fry it in canola oil.

It's wonderful, but also a very occasional treat.
