I started with MFP in March of this year because my daughter and granddaughter were both losing a lot of weight here. The last few months have been amazing. I never dreamed I would lose so much so fast or the positive effects that would have on my health. I am off my blood pressure medicine and my diabetes medicine has been reduced by over half. I'm amazed at how much more energy and mobility I have now. Thanks to my daughter and granddaughter for introducing me to a healthier lifestyle. And thanks to all my other family member who have joined in and support me.

You look great!! I'm a pharmacist and know exactly how much of an impact weight loss can have on discontinuing or at least reducing your blood pressure and diabetes medications. It makes me SO happy for people when they embrace a healthier lifestyle! The other benefit of using MFP is its really really easy to keep track of your carbs/sugar intake when you are diabetic and to monitor your sodium when you have high blood pressure... lots of people don't realize hidden high sodium foods! I can't tell you how proud I am of you!! I meet dozens of people daily who don't have the willpower to do what you did, you should be very proud of yourself!! :-)0

When I helped set her up the FIRST thing we did was to pull in those sugars, carbs, and sodium to track. I was really struggling with my blood pressure as well until MFP. I was off my meds within two short months of monitering sodium intake combined with consistant exercise. I have also monitered and reduced my cholesterol. That is the single biggest point I preach about this site. No matter what diet related illness you are suffering from, this program will help. It may not completely rid you of the need for meds but in most cases will at least help you gain some control over it. I LOVE this site!!0 -
