    Awesome! Congratulations. This was one of the reasons I started as well. I took my blood pressure a couple of months ago and it was way too high. I haven't taken it again yet to see if it has come down at all. I think I'm gonna wait until I lose a bit more.

    Perfect!!! Congratulations! Healthy BP and lab values are more important than a low dress size or whatever. You can be skinny, but still not healthy.

    Thats better than if you wrote you fit into a size 0 or lost 50 pounds imagine that means your life is longer now. No risk of stroke, debility, dialysis, or premature death. I'm so happy for you congratulations best NSV ever...to your health!
