Was 310 until 15 years ago when I started meds; got down to the 240 area; took Zocor and lowed it to 220 but had to switch to Lipitor due to muscle pains. Now take 40Mg of Lipitor and am at 170 total, with a HDL (the good kind) of 63; all along, I've watched food selections, did jogging/brisk-walking, and tried to practice common sense; I now eat more liberally, including eggs on weekends (but eggbeaters mixed with tomatoes and low-fat cheese weekdays), chocolate, etc. Turning 66 in a week or two, but feel great. BP is generally in the area of 122/78, with a resting heart rate of 62.
