Losing lbs and lowering blood pressure

Couple more pounds bit the dust. This is a slow arduous slog but already I'm riding faster and further than just a month ago. I go back to the doctor to get my blood pressure checked in a week. I've owned many home blood pressure machines but they always eventually break, so I use the blood pressure machine at Walmart. The store in my town has a very nice modern computerized machine that appears to be very accurate. I know their calibration is generally better than the home equipment. One of these store blood pressure readers saved me years ago because I was in the habit of using it and my blood pressure suddenly shot up to extremely high levels and I caught it with one of these pharmacy store machines. The best part is the tests have always been free. I'm using the Myfitnesspal diary to keep track of my eating and caloric needs. As long as you don't lie to it you will lose weight. This is the second time around for weight reduction for me and I'm going to try much harder to keep it off this time. Good luck to everyone losing weight or keeping it off.
