Thanks! It wasn't very hard because to me I didn't really have a choice. I wish it didn't take a high score to finally get my health under control. Im 45 and weighed 237 2 months ago and now weigh 218. I feel a lot better and don't have any plans on slowing down on my healthy journey, I just fear that its too late and I waited too long. I feel like Im just waiting out a heart attack or a stroke with the score I have

fwiw - I'm the owner of an astronomic CAC score - over 2600, but, BUT I have a normal stress treadmill and the ultrasound of my carotids shows no atherosclerosis. Point being - I'm NOT in line for a stroke. And as I've mentioned before, I don't think that those of us with extremely high CAC scores have coronary atherosclerosis in proportion to that score. So, we really don't know our risk for heart attack without coronary angiography. I'd do that if I weren't hypersensitive to contrast material. So it goes.
