I'm awful at taking pills, but I'd much rather take vitamins and supplements than cholesterol medicine. It's great to hear that you did all of that naturally. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlTue, 13 May 2008 01:15:49 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlThanks Rachael!

My cholesterol went down from 197 to 146 last year, so I know how exciting it is to see a drop like that! Keep up the good work! http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlMon, 12 May 2008 15:31:43 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlGreat job Ms. M!!!http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlMon, 12 May 2008 13:27:46 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5874_0.htmlHi there Angie... No I didn't take any medications thankfully, not yet anyway! I know what you mean about not wanting to start medication, I am only 27 now and I think once you start you will be on it for life! eek...
