It doesn’t get much better than this. This student has dropped a whole bunch of weight since the start of her current course, she’s a healthy-weight BMI now, she’s wearing size 6 jeans for the first time in forever, she’s off diabetes meds but check out what has her completely blown away the most. So cool. Thank you? No, thank you.
Hi Coach
Back on July 5 while talking with my husband and son about joining LLU I thought about what I wanted to accomplish and WHY. I wanted to stop the runaway train I was on called Type II Diabetes and hopefully feel better about myself.
Things were not looking that good right then for the family, my husband had just had surgery and the doctors were talking cancer and I was worried about how I was going to be able to care for him when my health was not the best. But of all the things I thought about the one that did not cross my mind was my being hypertensive.
A lot has changed since that day, my husband does not have cancer (Yay), I no long have to worry about that diabetic train (double yay) but today my doctor told me that I NO LONGER NEED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that after almost 20 years I would not have hypertenstion.
Thank you for giving me the knowledge and support to accomplish this. I was happy when I bought a size 6 jeans the other day, I was thrilled when I saw my BMI normal for the first time since 1989 but neither compared to feeling I had today when my doctor said, “stop taking your B/P medication”, so thank you, thank you, thank you.
