Just have to share my good news with you all! I got my blood test results back from the doc today.

Cholesterol - 169 (last year at this time it was 232)
Triglycerides - 85 (was 176)
HDL "good cholesterol" - 33 (was 50 -- unfortunately that went down too!)
As I said in a previous post, BP was 142/80.

Oh, and get this -- the nurse says, "The doctor noticed some ketones in your urine, and it may indicate that you're a bit dehydrated. Try upping your water intake…" LOL! I didn't tell them I was on Atkin's, I just said I was improving my eating habits….hehe! I didn't bother to tell the nurse, but if I up my water intake any more I'll float away! ;)

And here's more good news! I weighed and measured myself today, and so far have lost 28 lbs. and 23 inches total!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!

Wow, I guess this WOE really DOES work! ;)

Thanks you guys! LOL, I know I probably should have played dumb about what a ketone is....hehe! But I just said, "Oh okay, I'll up my water intake..." ;) What they don't know won't hurt them.
