I went to the doctor January 17, 2012 when i was told the I was going to be put on blood pressure medicine my blood pressure was 158/110 and the doctor was surprised that I wasn't already having problems along with being diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I weighed in at this appointment at 298 and was extremely disappointed in myself. I asked what could I do and as he gave me the brutal reality he suggested my fitness pal. I started using slowly and saw numerical results within two weeks. Yesterday I went to the doctor not only weighing in at 229 and blood pressure 117/76 he was happy for me and I am loving the new me. Thanks myfintesspal. lost 69lbs in 6months

    I actually had the same thing happen to me. Since my weight loss I've been taken off BP meds. You are curing yourself.
    You have our respect. Great Job!

    yes i found great alternative recipes that were healthier for me and with less calories. I take in no more than 1300 calories daily, but for the last three months I have also incorporated the gym anywhere from 3-5 times a week. I had to make a drastic change being that I was told my ideal weight was 180 and being 118lbs over that ideal weight was hard to hear but I am fighting back getting healthier and enjoying life in a whole new light.
