    So I went to the doctor today...

    and 2.5 months ago when I started Atkins, my blood pressure was 183/79, which qualifies for Stage 3 (Severe) Hypertension.

    Today when the nurse took my blood pressure she nearly dropped her clipboard because my blood pressure has fallen down to 150/78, which is mid-range Stage 1 (Mild) Hypertension.

    Given my family history with hypertension and heart disease being one of the main reasons I started Atkins, getting this news from my doctor after only 2.5 months and 1/5 of my desired weight loss achieved...I am THRILLED! I seriously almost cried at the doctors because of this wonderful news.

      Ryan -- I'm so happy for you and so proud you are getting your health back!!! Isn't it great to have your numbers change so drastically in such a short amount of time? Especially when you are eating delicious food and you are drinking water!!! I'm really proud of you for that too!!

      Keep up the great work and you will be in the normal range and with with little effort you won't have to worry about heart problems in your lifetime! I hope you let your family members know how your numbers have changed so they will see that they too can change their lives also!!!

      Once again -- great news & congratulations!!
