You are obviously doing excellent on the exercise front. It sounds as if the next goal is weight loss. If you don't already, try cutting out fats or at least cut your fat intake half, and along with that, try dropping your calorie count by 5%-10% for a month or so. Have your blood numbers re-tested after.

Don't hate me, but...
I've never had a problem with too much weight. If there is one, it's keeping the weight on. Last month, after being sick, I didn't get to the gym for about three weeks. I also ate less because I was sick. I lost a about seven pounds! What makes that worse is that it was probably muscle weight.
I can still definately benefit from lessening the intake of fats though. As for the caloric intake, I can eat a lot during the day, but keep it to several smaller meals. That, along with the regular excersise, keeps my metabolism high-- I think. I also don't have a family history of obesity on either side. That's LUCK!! :p
Right now I'm around 158. I'm 5'8" and have a small skeletal frame. (I can touch my thumb and forefinger around my wrist!)
