    Just been for my annual medical

    Just been for my annual medical.

    Everything absolutely fine and well inside safe limits.

    Blood pressure 126/71.

    Senior Medical Officer said he had never seen anyone's blood pressure fall so far and so fast.

            Steady on girls. A clergyman in late middle age like me can be neither a Poster Boy nor a Stud!

            Now Stu age 21 (?) might qualify for both.

              Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                Thanks. You can do it Rick.

                The last few pounds are proving very tiresome. Over the extended Christmas Holday ( I work in an educational institute) I have been cycling 20-25 miles a day and not over eating - result 2lb gain - must be muscle, I say!
                Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                    Brian, I understand that weight fluctuation ... since upping my running miles in preparation for the marathons, I too have added additional muscle, cuz no way is it anything else. So, stay the course and in due time ....

                      Yes 2Big - I made sure it was.

                      He has directed quite a few folk to do Atkins - seen some remarkable results - seems to suit soldiers.

                      I asked him about Cholesterol falling on Atkins - lots of people report that it does. He says the surveys done by medical journals say it rises. Mine fell a little, but was not an issue to start with.

                      Can you point to any medical papers that talk of it falling?

                          Well done Brian
                          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
