Good news from the doc!

I stopped in at the doc's office for a quick check up since he wanted to see me at the end of the two weeks of induction. For week two, I lost another six pounds, which makes a grand total of fourteen pounds gone in two weeks. He was very pleased with the results, but also told me not to expect that kind of loss from here on out because the initial large loss is during the first two weeks.

But for the REALLY good news--my blood pressure was so low, he reduced my blood pressure meds by half, and at my next check up in four weeks he said might actually discontinue them if I continue dropping my blood pressure! I'll also get a followup blood work done to see how everything else is going, too.

I can't believe that two weeks ago I was at 230, and now I'm at 216. I am SO grateful for every pound that is gone!

241/216/130 WOOHOO!

That's awesome news! I can't wait to get off my BP medication. It went down the last time I saw the doctor a couple of weeks ago, but not enough to reduce it. Congratulations!
