Yes I am overweight. Since my wife and I have rather different approaches to losing weight, we tend to have difficulties in achieving and maintaining results. Ironically, my last fairly successful campaign was just before I got a twisted loop in my gut which required emergency surgery (and temporarily lost me another 15lbs). My blood pressure, which had previously been controlled to around the upper limit of high normal, soared to very high, and refused to come down even after I was otherwise recovered, although eventually control was regained. Even having now regained most of the lost weight, I have like you blood pressure that averages in the ideal range, but with some morning episodes of very low blood pressure and/or low pulse rate. Hence the visit to the cardiologist since it is not apparent which drug or drug combination is responsible for the dips. This effect developed well before my present session of NBE so is presumably unconnected.

I'm currently trying to lose weight again; there are lots of other benefits. Possibly with the help of PM, I hope to move a little way across the barrel to hourglass body shape spectrum.


"Conventional wisdom is an oxymoron" Is that heresy?
