Bye Bye High Blood Pressure :)

I have had hypertension since I was about 12 years old in middle school (When I started gaining excessive amount of weight through puberty). One day during freshman year of college I went to the doctor because I was sick and they made me come back every week for months because my blood pressure had hit 155/112, actually at one point I think it was 171/115... but they think that one may have been a flaw, because it's almost impossible for an 18 to be that high....
Well long story short, I checked my blood pressure a few days ago, after losing the first 30 lbs with a healthier diet, less sodium and more exercise and finally.... finally finally finally I am 123/71!
Bye Bye Hypertension!!! XD

Nice isn't it? I have only lost 16 lbs since January but the change in my diet has dropped my BP 10 points in both numbers.
Congratulations on your success!0 -

Yes, I hope mine is permanent. Have a doctors appt in a few months, so we'll see. Good luck!0 -
Awesome accomplishment!
I've had the same goal. Mine has gotten pretty close to healthy, but could still go down a little more.
BTW your before & after profile pic is as inspiring as your health progress0 -
I've had high BP for 20+ years - finally off all meds! It's a great feeling. Congrats to you!0

That's fantastic. So good for your heart to be fit. I can relate because I have HBP too. Unfortunately even after losing 70 lbs, I am still on meds for it but it's under control and I feel great. Keep up the good work and healthy life style.0

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! As a fellow hypertensive person, I KNOW what a huge deal that is! Keep it up!0

Congrats!!! So happy for you. I went on meds 3 years ago but will never be off because the one I am on is also for chronic migraines. Just have to watch for it not to get too low.0
