What health problems/medications did you get rid of since lo

Blood pressure lowered and joint pain dissipated somewhat. Now that I have put weight back on it is all coming back, it is my incentive to get it gone again!

Blood pressure meds cut in half , taken off Metformin and had the Victoza reduced by a third. I expect to come off all meds at the end of the month when I have my blood work done again.

Fortunately, I don't have anything that requires me to take meds, but I do notice less hip/knee joint pain, which was definitely one of the reasons I knew I needed to take the weight off. On the downside, my big toe (arthritis) hurts more now due to all the exercising! Lunges are a killer on it! It's worth it, though. :happy:

For me, losing weight in and of itself didn't change anything in regards to my health. On the other hand, feeding myself properly, exercising regularly, and developing a healthy attitude about my body has done wonders for my self esteem and mental health. I no longer suffer from depression and debilitating anxiety, and I haven't engaged in any disordered eating a long time.

Off any anti-depressants i was on : ) working out 3-4 times a week, plus fish oil and Vitamin D has changed everything!! : )

I smoked 2 packs a day for 30 years and quit 7 months ago. I had 3 years of "decreased lung function consistent with early emphysema" from my annual pulmonology test. This year, there is little evidence that I ever smoked, and the pulmonologist said with continued cardio training, even that would go away in a year or two.

I also had decreased range of motion in my right hip. Doc did xrays and all, and couldn't find any reason for it, so I decided it would "go or blow". At least if I totally crippled myself, they might see what was causing it. I couldn't do more than 2 lunges without just crying. Kept stretching and working, and I can do jump lunges for 45 seconds now with good form.

I LOVE MY NEW LIFE!

I am completely off both my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. Also, I was having tachycardia episodes and a constant irregular heartbeat. My cardiologist says that I now have the heart of a well conditioned athlete!! I love my fitness pal! It doesn't matter that I started exercising to get more food :happy: all that matter is that I started and it is changing both my body and my life!

No medications, but I am hardly ever lethargic and my back pain and knee/joint pain is almost non-existent now. I felt ridiculous for having such horrible back pain at such a young age and I am so happy for it to be gone for the most part.
