Just visited my doctor yesterday and after monitoring my blood pressure daily for 2 weeks have finally been taken off my medication after 10 years!....my report was Perfect blood pressure. It's amazing what losing weight can do for your body and health.

    I had to laugh when I saw this. So glad you are off your medicine now. But from the title I thought you didn't have a blood pressure from your dieting and you were in trouble.

    ...doesn't that mean you're dead?

    JK, kicking my meds was one of the biggest mental accomplishments for me as well, so congrats to you.

    Fabulous! I've got kidney problems, so I don't know if I'll ever be totally able to come off my BP meds, but I'm hoping I can cut down on my dose at some point.
