| | | Yeah, that is one that makes it hard to loose weight and keeps fluid on the body. Doc said I should loose about 10 pounds in the first week of reduced med. Also said wished he had my BP 110/70!

| | That is fantastic! Oh, I hope to be able to cut some of my meds in the near future! Right now I am in a slump so I don't see it happening too soon. Keep up the good work, that is an inspiration to all of us!

| | Did not realize how much fluid I was retaining. Cut back the Avandia yesterday and have really lost a lot of fluid already. Thanks for the encouraging words.

| | | Janlaton, I'm really curious about the weight loss. Would you let us know in a few days about the percent of body weight you lose, or perhaps the actual weight lost? |

| | | Excellent! Bet you feel so good. Feel proud and keep up the good work. I bet you'll feel better when you have lost that retained water.
