My HDL (good cholesterol) is 95. My blood pressure is c. 90/60. I'm 5'7" and weigh 110 lbs (small-boned, eat healthy) at age 52 (female). Blood sugar is normal and I don't smoke. Have always made it a personal goal to not get fat and to live to be 100.

She's often tapping out "Oprah-esque" confessions about how the latest news relates to her personally—whether it's on breast cancer, contraception or easing work-family stress.
