A good week for several reasons.First I went to the doctor and he agreed (based on my blood pressure reducing over the last 2-3 months) that I should try a month without medication. Very positive and hopefully this will lead to a permanent situation.
Also, I have been taking tests for my sleep apnea and so far feel great, I await the results, but I definitely feel better.
Add that to the fact that I have lost a further 3.9 pounds and now I am a smidgen away from losing FIVE stone since I started! Wow!
No other reason for this song than I love it and reminds me of times gone by. Hers' to the little man Mr Bolan, I hope God's looking after you!

Light all the fires,
It's the King of the Rumbling Spires,
Light all the fires,
It's the King and he's coming home.
We're so windy fair
Priestess of my young soul
Mighty eagles pair
On the peace of your hair.
Light all the fires,
It's the King of the Rumbling Spires
Light all the fires,
It's the King and he's coming home.

Hi John, well done, I lost 3 and half pounds last week, total lost now 26lbs. I am going into St Thomas in 2 weeks to be tested for sleep apnea, had the monitor one weekend a few months ago and it showed a few things. I personally think its my weight so hopefully the weight loss will help. You have done so well. Regards Linda
Hi Linda,
I can relate to your concern over sleep apnoea. I have had obstructive sleep apnoea for around 4 years and have been wearing a mask at night for that whole time (and even worse for me carrying the damn thing everywhere I go as I travel a bit). I had a VERY bad diagnosis and I could not do anything (drive, watch TV, read, have a conversation!) without falling asleep (pre-mask). I can tell you now that I have not been using the mask for 11 days and feel fine. This, for me, is amazing, so the chnage iin weight HAS helped me. I also got a V-shaped pillow to allow me to sleep more upright, which also helps.
But my weight loss has made all the difference and indeed this was my number one priority in this life changing program. For me, the BP and the weight came second to the OSA.
So, be reassured that the success you are having in the weight department WILL help in the OSA area too, and take that from a seasoned pro, this IS good news and worth all this effort.
Linda- you too are doing well and I encourage you to make sure you have some goals other than just weight loss, it really helps focus the mind.
Let me know how you get on at the sleep clinic
Good luck
John
