Forty two pounds down and improved lab work.

In February 2018 my doctor called in a prescription for a statin for high cholesterol . I was already on Metformin for the past year for newly diagnosed diabetes and blood pressure medication. I’m an RN and know what those issues could do to me. I had used the MyFitnessPal app off and on but never long term. This time, shortly after retiring, I took it seriously and after 6 months, my cholesterol and other blood lipids were normal , my blood pressure was too low and my blood sugar and a1c were perfectly normal . In 6 months I will probably come off the Metformin for blood sugar. I’m still having occasional dizzy spells and suspect I need my blood pressure med lowered again. I just spent a week visiting a friend in FL and my friend didn’t understand why I logged everything I ate. She told me to relax. I informed her that logging my food works for me and that’s how I succeeded. I plan to lose 15 to 20 more pounds.
