Any Cholesterol Number Nerds Out There?

Here are my numbers:
June 2009
Total: 208
LDL: 127
HDL: 45
TR: 159

November 2009
Total: 212
LDL: 138 (goal under 130)
HDL: 49 (50 optimal)
Tri: 124 (under 150)

So I knocked a huge dent in my Triglycerides and raised my HDL!  I'm not sure why my LDL went up when my Tri's went down, but overall the Doc said these numbers showed improvement and I did it with diet.  Now, I can't say I've kept all the fat out, so I know I need to work on this, but I did eat lots of oat bran every morning and added supplements of flax and fish oil.

I've...

I've gone from a high of 309 (2001) to 158 (2009).  I do take Zocor, but I have a family history of heart disease.  I still have 30 lbs to go, so I'm hopeful that I can get a number we are happy with AND lose the Zocor.
 
Exercise will also be huge in maintaining your new/improved numbers.
 
WTG Steph!  = )
