So as of today I have lost 15.4 lbs in 6 weeks. This is all great but obviously been a lot of changes and hard work.
While appearance is one advantage of losing the weight, overall health is the real reason so i decided to get my blood pressure, resting heart rate taken to see if i was becoming healthier. While still obese I am easily able to go for over an hour on a elliptical machine and it must be working as my blood pressure is well within the normal range (it wasnt 5 weeks ago) and my resting heart rate is in the 50's (it wasnt). I have 43 lbs to go but i will get there eventually. at 2.5 lbs average per week i feel i am on a good pace. good luck all.
