Weight loss and diet changes have paid off!!! Doctor just reduced one BP med and eliminated the other. Thank you MyFitnessPal.com and the American Heart Association's DASH diet nutrition recommendations.
This is huge. I went from so obese and dangerously high blood pressure to normal BP and reducing my meds. Once you've made this sort of accomplishment, you feel empowered to make a difference in your life -- anything is possible.

I'm happy that this inspires you. It did me too. In fact, I also have a thyroid problem and my Dr. said the chances of ever getting off that medication are minimal, but she was so impressed with my effort that we discussed how to try to get off that too. Why should I live my life on chemicals when I have the power to change my body? It was this site that inspired me to take control.0 -

I do. And... my wife has been so incredibly attracted to me now that I'm more healthy In fact, we now have a new baby on the way!!!0 -
That is a true success story. I keep trying to tell my mom that exercise, eating right and weight loss would help out her health problems. I do not want these problems so I am taking action now!!0

When I told my doctor what I was doing, she looked at my family history and kind of shook her head. She said, you can do it, but you're going to have to fight your genes. That's fine, since I was tired of fighting my jeans.0 -

Way to go! Its my goal to get off my meds. I have pretty borderline BP though with occasional spikes. I just got increased on mine last year to where it was FINALLY actually lowering my BP. I'd like to be completely off it by Christmas with any luck I can drop the dose back down by end of summer and get off the water pill portion I hate that part. I know with a little work when I drop down about 50 lbs it will revert to normal. It has in the past anyhow.
Anyway well done. Keep up the great work.0 -
