    Seriously.... Thank you MFP

    OK... Today started with a trip to my doctor to figure out why I am getting/feeling dizzy. Well, it turns out that my b/p is way too low. Why you ask? Because he was controlling my b/p with dosages appropriate for a 290 lb. guy. Now, since I lost 50 lbs. using MFP, he deleted (1) of my (4) b/p meds and halved the dosage on (2) of the others. NICE! All because of MFP! So, a big THANK YOU to MFP for providing me (and all of us who use it) with a positive, safe, and effective way for me to loose this weight. If I loose another 50 lbs. (which is my goal) my doctor says he might be able to take me off the b/p meds completely. Wow, I am one happy guy. Thanks again. :smile:

      That is awesome!! The same thing happened to me because I take a BP medicine for my heart arrhythmia. Stuff like that really makes you realize the hard work is totally paying off!

      Thanks everyone. Some meds are required no matter what weight you are, so hang in there with those. But I hope we all can get to our weight goals so these "weight related" medicines can be eliminated.

      Terrific accomplishment. Congrats to you. I need to hear things like that because I was losing 2 lbs most weeks, but now I am down to 1 lb and not always that. Thanks again.

      That's incredible! I wish you continued success on the next 50 pounds! Just think, you'll have so much more room in your budget for fun things when you don't have all those prescriptions to buy :)
