Today we want to celebrate LaRae W.'s amazing accomplishment of not only losing more than 20 pounds, but also in reducing her cholesterol count from 202 to 179!
She also brought down her triglycerides from 356 to 127 (she should be 150 and below). Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also present in blood plasma and, in association with cholesterol, form the plasma lipids. Excess triglycerides in plasma is called hypertriglyceridemia. It's linked to the occurrence of coronary artery disease in some people. Elevated triglycerides may be a consequence of other disease, such as untreated diabetes mellitus.
Way to go LaRae! We are so happy that you are now healthier than you were 15 weeks ago!!!!
