- I finally went to the doctor and got my labs done. I was not happy with the results. In this video I talk about what I am going to do to change and become a better/healthier version of myself. I also play a little golf while doing it! I hope you enjoy!

I'll keep you all posted!
Brother you can do it. I am 61 and recently retired from selling our business. At 180 I said no more ! Stopped the snacking and did a ton of outdoor work around the house. One year later happy to see 155 on the scale. Have a protein drink for breakfast/lunch and my dinner. I cheat sometimes,once in a while, but it was the moving that helped. Digging, raking, trimming, ladders etc. winter will be harder because I hate to work out, but will. Good luck.
Thank you so much!
I am with you...I packed on the pounds as I was losing my wife. I got up to 380 and realized it would kill me. I don't want to be on meds, like you, and at 260 my A1c is at 4.2. I need to lose another 40 or 50 pounds. You can do this, we need your videos of a normal golfer like us mere mortals.
Thank you for watching!
Another great video MSH. Golf is a motivator for me to be healthy. Also, you really gave good course management tips. Thanks. "Hit'em straight "
Thank you so much!
I tend to do my exercising religiously in the off season, and figure I get more than enough during our golf season. I'm from the midwest like you, but about 20 years older. My weight isn't a problem normally , but I can put on a quick 10 if I forget to watch my diet. It takes discipline to exercise and eat the way we should. I'm looking forward to your 3 month results. And a pound a week is a great way to go! Good luck MSH!
Thank you Gary!
Hope your health picks up, I have had problems for the last year, with cataract and sciatica but I am 70 next year so I understand the problem. Enjoy your videos when I wake up and have 2 cups of tea. Keep making the videos and keep a Brit in Thailand happy .
I appreciate your support! I'll keep it going!
Best of luck to you in achieving your health goals. I got a good tip years ago that in my experience has been very effective. Weight control and fitness is 30% exercise and 70% diet. Go get em MSH we are behind you. Cheers !
Thank you so much Paul!
I hope you get your fitness goals. I’m sure all the extra walking on the course will help :) my fitness goal is to recover from ME/CFS and long COVID so I can get out of the apartment and back on the course. (I haven’t been able to play for a year) It’ll take months and maybe years, but Once I get back, my goal is to play low stress golf: accept the results good or bad, enjoy being outside, only play clubs that I’m confident with (sorry, driver) , and always lay up to stay away from trouble.
Thank you so much! Good luck on your recovery!
@@mistahshorthitter Thanks!
Hope you're successful with your health goals, I've lost over 40lbs this year so I know how tough it can be but also how good it feels once you've done it.
Thank you and congratulations!
You got this! I really like your on-course videos just discussing what's on your mind.
Thank you so much for that! I'll keep you updated on my progress!
All the best for you! Never forget change starts with a first step and it's a marathon, not a sprint! In the beginning you question the sense behind and whether the small steps make a difference to you, but as soon as the results are there you keep on going and will succeed.
My way to being healthier and keeping fit is: Cutting down sugar to a minimum and being disciplined on eating 2 meals a day was one pile for me, the other was doing cardio for 30 min 2 to 3 times a week.
So true!
Good luck to achieving all your health goals sir! Boy, you were hitting the ball so good in this video!
It was a good day! Thank you so much!
Hi Mistah short hitter. Thanks for all your posts. I appreciate your honesty. Have a great day
Thank you for the support!
Good luck with it KB. Health is so important and even more so the older you get. Take care of yourself and I like the plan of walking a little more, a bit dieting and losing a little each week. Please update us on how it's going through winter.
Will do Graham! I've been jogging a little with the dog and it feels good. I will keep you posted.
You'll be fine. My wife had the same diagnosis 5 months ago. They also gave her 3 months to make a change, if her cholesterol was still high they were going to have to put her on statin drugs. She didn't exercise any more than normal, she just changed her diet. In those 3 months she lost 35 lbs, her cholesterol became normal, and she's not as bitchy. #3 was my favorite side effect!!!
You won't even miss any of the unhealthy foods.
The funny thing about a guy like you that makes videos is that you seem like a friend that I'd like to play golf with, yet you have never met me and I feel like I know you. Good luck, glad you found out early while you can still do something about it.
Thank you so much Paul. I truly feel like you guys are friends also. I hope to continue to bring you good content for many years!
Im in the same boat, too heavy. But I've managed to loose 27 pounds since April by golfing twice a week and practicing on 2 more days. My goal is to get to 250. Which wont be bad for me Im 6' 2". I was 303 at the beginning of April. Less food, Less alcohol and more activity. I met one of my golf goals and broke 80 for the first time ever this year. Ive gotten my playing handicap down to 11.3. My next goal is to eliminate double bogey from the scorecard. Im sure you will meet your goals. Its hard when you are older. Im also 64. Anyway love your content will look forward to more.
Thank you so much and congratulations on the your goals. Keep it up!
I had planned on walking more this year for those rounds I play after work. 6'3 and 290, I could stand to lose some weight lol but walking didn't happen. I just don't like pushing the cart because I normally trip over the wheel while pushing it. I would rather spend the money on a powered one with remote but I still have yet to gather the funds together do to that.
Thank you so much!
Ahh, I can remember when I did the 3 months of exercise and diet to reduce my cholesterol. I lowered it by 20 or so points in those 3 months. Doc put me on a statin and it dropped 100 points. LOL I've been on it for 20 years. At 57, I try to walk an extra 3-5 miles every day. Living on a golf course helps. The cart path is 4.5 miles so I get out early in the morning before it gets light out. I stretch 3-4 days a week. But I should really work on strength in the off season. I really have noticed a loss of distance this season. Ugh!
That's great! I'm going to get to work on it!
Swinging well today. Bummer on the diagnosis, but I'm afraid its pretty common. Genetics plays a large part. The walking is a good start. Lots of water. Get a 32 ounce jug and monitor how many fills a day, try for 2x at least. Sometimes you have to just chug. Yep, take a hard look at your diet. Im on a low dose statin with no issues. There are a couple different types so if ya have problems with one try the other. Good luck.
Ya was wondering if you noticed any on course distance increase.
Thank you Bradley!
Good Luck Mistah!
Thank you!
Nice round of golf and good for you doing something about your health so you can possibly avoid going on medication to control cholesterol, wish I had listened to my doctor years ago when he advised me to start making better decisions on diet and exercise or I would be going on a statin!
Thank you so much for the support!
@mistahshorthitter Thanks so much for letting us know how you're doing. I've always struggled with my weight despite being fairly active and a week short of my 55th birthday, I don't feel as good as I know I can. My recent labwork wasn't great, either, so I have to get it in gear. Like you, I feel like watching my diet and moving more will equate to dropping a pound per week, feeling better and having better numbers in a few months. ... The good news is your goals are very attainable and based on the focus and work ethic you put into everything else, I have no doubt you can do whatever you set out to do. You're a treasure, and we want you happy and healthy for as long as possible. 🙂👊👊👊
That means a lot to me! I will keep you posted!
Wouldn’t have noticed but as we age the pounds just jump on. You can do it! I used Lose It to drop a lot of pounds about a decade ago. Keeping the weight off is a matter of disciplined eating.
Thank you so much!
Always enjoyable content sir.
Thank you!
You're right, we have to take care of ourselves. I didn't. I ended up spending 6 weeks in the hospital last December/January. Primarily for heart surgery (quadruple bypass), but other procedures also. Don't be like me, don't keep putting it off.
Thank you so much for the support!
Keep up the good eating and exercise and you will do fine. I have diabetes and have lost 30 lbs in the last 6 months and hoping to lose another 10, but it is getting tougher.
Thank you Jerry!
Something that changed my life was a book by Dr. Greger called How not to diet. It's a play on words but has a lot of useful information backed up with studies if you want to look them up. But I'm from a family of diabetes BAD and hypertension. 90 days and I went from 3 BP meds at full doses to just a half of 1. It works if you why is big enough! God bless and I know you can do it 🙏🏿
Lost over 30 lbs
I lost over 60 in the past but put 25 back on. I'll get it down. Thank you!
Total Cholesterol elevation is only part of the picture. Your approach may differ depending on the LDL (lethal cholesterol) and your HDL (happy cholesterol) numbers. If you have no other risk factors the LDL should be below 130 (ideally below 100) and your HDL above 40. Good luck but don't be too afraid of the meds, they work amazingly well for lowering LDL cholesterol.
Thank you for the support!
LDL is not "lethal" lol. You body makes LDL is the transport mechanism for fat molecules; it's essential.
The "lethal" name is just to help remember the good Cholesterol (HDL) from the bad (LDL). It is the LDL we target to lower and the HDL we target to raise.
Happy birthday on your 50th.
Thank you!
It is definitely doable. Just apply some of that dedication you use in golf to it.
I will!
Take care of yourself is #1 priority my brother.
Thank you!
Great video, as always. Good luck with the weight loss.
Thank you!
Good luck with your goals :)
Thank you Ed!
I cut out simple carbs, and lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Just a suggestion.
Good luck! Statins suck!!
Thank you!
Yeah, especially as you get older, reducing carbs worked for me. BTW the evidence ifor statins being useful is weak, except possibly if you have already had a heart attack.
I’ve read some encouraging things about vitamin D3 and K2 to help with cholesterol.
Brother I’m66 and lost 40 Lbs ,Doc said eat normal Breakfast and light lunch and no eating after 3:00 pm ,Worked and You’ll get used to it .
Thank you for watching!
Good luck with your weight plan.
Thank you for the support!
63 and in good shape and watch my diet and weight. Finally went with low dose statin. You will be fine!
Thank you !
why?
I think those are personal decisions. I really am trying to avoid questioning viewers choices.
Take care of yourself, work on eating half as much as you have and compensate it by drinking lots of water...That worked for me... All the best.
Thank you so much!
❤
Thank you!
You can do it 😊
Thank you so much!
Moonlight Sonata? Good choice.
Thank you so much!

Keep on at least 15 years. I am 74 now and I need you till I am 90. At least😂
I'll try my best 😁
Doctor... "let me put this in terms you can understand. I want you to get your cholesterol numbers sub 4 hybrid."
You got this!
Thank you!
Drink 1 1/2 gallon of water 💧 a day.
Thank you
Ya...I need to lose some weight...a lot...tough being a truck driver
Yes, it is Pat. See you soon!
The exercise won’t hurt, but eating raw veggies as snacks instead of salty chips helped me to lose weight.
Thank you Steve!
Went back to the new putter again?
I switch back and forth 😆
Please keep posting for 10 more years.Losing weight is hard I know please stick to what you are doing.Great swing btw
Thank you so much for the support!
go on meds and watch diet and walk. If you are over 60 get a cardiac CT
Thank you for watching!
3lbs a week should be really easy just by more walking and better diet.
Thank you for watching!
If you diet like you play golf, your cholesterol will be good in no time! Good luck. Take care.
Thank you, Jesse! I'm going to work at it and keep you posted!
I had high cholesterol for years . Gained weight as I aged , eat drink everything in sight that’s bad for you . Resisted doctor for over 5 years trying to get me on statin. Got new doctor and FIRST sentence was “ you should consider a statin “. Took it and with NO exercise or change in diet I went from ten years at 265 and higher cholesterol level to 181. In 3 months . It’s something to seriously consider if diet doesn’t help.
On side note , new insurance new doctor and my A1C is higher than ever but insurance requires 2 tests to qualify for meds so I’m in same boat . I’ve got 3 months to lose weight and cut back soda to see if my A1C drops to ‘ non diabetic’
PS good luck I know you’ll get it done.
Thank you!
@@JodyTrynabreak80butitstough Yes, I will!!
The healthier you are the longeer you can play take it right to the grave a dog never hurts to have on those days you dont walk the course you can walk the dog
I have a dog! Thank you!
