I donated blood today and found out that my blood pressure is 104/69! I haven't really been losing much weight recently but I guess I must be doing something right. This is great because all throughout my childhood I had really high BP, so yay. :bigsmile:

    Congrats! That is awesome! One of the reasons I am here, is to lower my blood pressure and avoid meds.

    Fantastic! One of my motivators is lowering blood pressure and eliminating BP meds. Having a doc tell me my BP was too high was the wake up call I needed. I'm glad something finally woke me up!

    My doctor pulled me off of 2 different blood pressure meds.
    Cutting back on sodium to the under 2500 a day worked
    for me!

    That is so fantastic! Hooray for good health!!!

    I soooo wish that would have happened to me. I keep my sodium under 1500 and under 1000 most of the time. I take fish oil. I don't drink or smoke and lost 54 pounds and went to the doctor and my blood pressure was 150/100 :(

    It was around 135/85 when I was over 200 lbs.
