That is true!

Anytime Mike! I'm glad to know a support system as well. I wanted to give up, but I have to hang in here. I don't like me this size. I'm at my heaviest, and that's a no no for me. Anyways, I look forward to meeting the new you soon :smile: Take care and have a blessed night!

You are so right about this...

My point exactly! You have to get to the "root" of the problem. The "root" of hbp is high sodium intake, etc. You have to get the right vitamins in your body, and the right foods in your body to reverse that, and any other ailment. I'm not against medicine, don't get me wrong, but medicines (in MY opinion) are definitely…

The reason I said that is because an MD told me that when I kept asking the question. He/She finally told me yes, with longterm use of HBP meds, it is possible that your kidneys can be damaged. I've also done tons of research on hbp meds. All you have to do is look up in the library or net the ingredients in your medicine,…

Thank you so so so much. The first time I got on here, I felt like I was alone, so I never logged back in. Indeed, a few people did say some encouraging words to me, and that was and still is greatly appreciated. I look forward to the new me, and seeing what reshaping my body will look like :happy:

Thank you very much for this tip!!

Thank you very much. No I didn't know that about cucumbers and water. I love cucumbers... Thank you for that tip!

My high blood pressure is gone now. What I did was I started out drinking nothing but water, cutting down the salt intake and…

Hi Mike, I wish you much success on your journey. I started my profile last year, and I kinda fell off, but what I've read from many users is that you gotta stick in there. So far, this is my second day since last year logging in what I'm eating. I too would like to lose weight...and I like you, I've tried dieting…

Thank you very much for welcoming me!! Much success to ya!!!

Hey!!, Thank you for replying! It SO helps to know that someone is rooting for you! I saw your progress, and CONGRATS!! You will too! I love your quote from the Bible, and that is so very true! Hope to see ya around the next time I log on. Take care and have a blessed evening. :happy:

Hello you all. I am on here because of my beautiful sister telling me about it. I joined today and already LOVE it here. This is a place where I will hope to find myself here often. My goal is to manage what I eat and excersise the calories off. I want to learn to say "NO" to some foods when I KNOW I don't need them. I…
