I had an echocardiogram about a year ago. At that time, it showed a thickening in the heart wall. Dr. assured me it was normal for someone my age with a history of high blood pressure. So..my year went by. I have since joined MFP and have begun eating better and exercising. They did a stress test the other day. Did an echo right before the test, and right after. Now, the thickening is completely gone! The Doc says my heart is great and I have reversed the damage! So, maybe the scale isn't moving very fast for me, but I fixed my heart. So, some of our successes aren't necessarily visible from the outside, but they are vitally imporant in our journey. And perhaps the length of our journey! :D

    That is wonderful news. Heart disease is very hard to reverse but you did it. That is fantastic. What a good study/research that would make...beginnings of heart disease and what diet & exercise can go verses all the medications. Very cute dogs by the way.
