Re: Going off diuretics....

The BP is doing GREAT!!!I took it this morning and it was 117/73. That's better than before atkins, with drugs!!! You just gotta love it! I think I'm all back to normal now. The constant runs to the bathoom are gone as of last night, and all is well! Yesterday it was hard just getting through that hour on the treadmill!

Thanks for asking.

Oh Rick, 9 lbs in a day! You must have been STOKED! The old bods can be a bit s l o w on the uptake, can't they. So very pleased for you. And it is so good for you to get off those darned tablets.

Re: Going off diuretics....

Thanks Odille,
Yes, it's good to be off that drug! It's always good when we can get rid of prescripton meds. And, I took my bp tonight and was a steller 112/69!!! No BP drugs either!!! I give credit to both weight loss and cardio workouts. And of course, much credit goes to the members here who are so encouraging as well. I know I couldn't have done it without all of the support from ADBB.

Good for you! You are turning into a walking talking Atkins billboard with the body shrinking and the health improving.

2Big,
I'm cheesing with that reply! Give me a few more months and I'd be happy to be that billboard! I am a work in progress, still on my journey to where I want to be, but yes, my health has improved dramatically since I started this WOL, and it's just been about 6 weeks. It's really hard to believe.

Not where I want to be yet, but on my journey to get there.... the trip is what it's all about. I can't believe how bad it got, and how good it's getting. Even this old bod is resilient, which is really hard to believe!

Rick you don't have to be a goalie for folk to notice what you are doiing and ask you about it. that is what being a walking talking Atkins billboard is about.
