I had my annual physical today. My Dr. is thrilled with my progress. So much so, she wouldn't even order a cholesterol test. My last one, my numbers were great, though my triglycerides were borderline at 166. She said that was so close to normal it didn't count so I didn't need a retest.

My blood pressure (which was never high) is now 100/60 (used to consistently be 120/80).

My pulse was 58 (used to consistently be 84)

My weight has dropped about 86 lbs. from my all-time high (74 since starting MFP).

ETA: And I TOTALLY forgot to mention...yesterday I did my first 10 mile run. I'm slow (time was 2:10:10) but I did it!

    Congrats on those NSV. Those to me are some of the best especially not needing the blood tests. :)

    This is awesome! Congratulations!
    Going back to my doctor's is one of my motivations. She'll be really happy when she sees the progress I made! I went for blood tests today and I hope to get improvements next year. As soon as this darn semester finishes, I'll start working out again and will try to run the way you do. I'd like to get my blood pressure down... You really are an inspiration. Well done! :-)
