Had my annual with my doc on Friday and she was blown away! Without medication, my bp was 110/70...I haven't been this healthy in over 10 years and she took me off the blood pressure medication I've been taking for years!

She actually even told me to slow down and take some more time to lose the last 10-15 lbs, rather than finish by December 1 as originally planned.

    That's fantastic and inspiring! I hope to achieve the same thing: my blood pressure is elevated, and I would really rather fix it the natural way by losing weight instead of taking pills with who knows what side effects.

    Wow! That is great news! I am trying to lower my blood pressure with diet too! It is lower now that I have lost 25 lbs. It is still not where I want it to be though. You are an inspiration!

    Fabulous job!! I, too, recently got my doc's ok to stop my bp meds. My bp has remained normal to a little below normal for a few months now. It can be done! Keep up the great work :)
