Non-Scale Victories!

I bet we have all had victories through the HCG weight loss other than the weight loss itself...some non scale victories as my friends on the forum like to call them! Well, I had a big one today!!! :) As stated earlier, I had my annual doctors appointment this morning. I don't know if I have stated it here before or not, but my main reason for loosing weight was my health. I had been put on blood pressure medication last year, it wasn't extremely high, but high enough consistently (at least the last 5 years) that my doctor decided it was just time for medication. At last years appointment, I was also referred to the cardiologist because of a heart murmur (which turned out to be nothing at all thank goodness)! Anyway, at my appointment today....my blood pressure was...are you all ready for this....120/70!!!! My blood pressure has never been that low at the doctors office (I like to call it white coat syndrome)! I was ecstatic and so was my doc! She even said, "Wow, you have lost a lot of weight, and it has really improved your blood pressure." That was so great to hear! :) Even better yet, I have only been taking 1/2 of the pill because I get light headed and a horrible headache when I take the whole thing...which I told her, so she cut my dose in half! YAY!!! Hopefully when I go back in 6 months, I can get off of it completely!!! THANK YOU HCG!!! :) This diet has done exactly what I wanted it to do...and I get to buy new clothes and look fantastic in them de-boot!!! :)
