Good news from the doc.

Yesterday I went for my 6 month blood pressure checkup and I decided to do a little experiment in preparation for it. I have lost a good amount of weight recently so I decided to go off my BP med two weeks ago to see what my actual BP would be off the meds. Yesterday at the doc office it was 144/84 which is still a bit high but a hell of a lot better than the 162/100 when I was put on meds 3 years ago. The doc agreed to let me continue not taking the meds however I have to track my BP and come back in 2 months. Along with that she printed out a graph of my weight upon visits for the last 10 years. I was my heaviest at 322lbs 3 years ago and I'm now 256. I haven't weighed 256 in 5 years. I started making small changes when I hit 322 and was put on BP medicine but the huge changes started when I decided to do keto and IF. Since Easter 2018 (April 1) I have lost 52 lbs. I still have a ways to go but I'm loving this better way of eating and living! KCKO
