Ok - so I've been in a plateau for months now...but still maintaining my weight loss :happy:

Today I received guidance from my Doctor to reduce my blood pressure medication by half due to my weight loss and tracked BP readings!

Woohoo!! I'd like to eventually get off of the medication all together, but this will do for now! :drinker:

    My doctor cut my blood pressure meds in half last month. It's a great feeling! Next checkup I'm hoping to get off the BP meds altogether and the Metformin for blood sugar too.

    Awesome! I'm not on any medication myself, but it makes me so happy to see people coming off theirs due to a healthy lifestyle.
