My GF just had her's checked and it was a little high. Like 270 or something? What was yours, if you don't mind me picking at some personal info?

I should get mine checked too... family has a history of high cholestorol and heart problems. I have a fear of needles though.

Dude anything over 200 is considered high. They have medicine to deal with that, eating some Cheerios ain't gonna help.
