[QUOTE=PorscheGAL;10785260]Wow! Curious: Did it change your BP or Cholesterol enough to come off the meds?

Unfortunately no but not sure that's a bad thing. My cardiologist has stated that today's statins and BP meds are so good and not to be concerned with long-term use. I'm on and always have been on low doses (i.e. 20mg) of Simvastatin and Lisinopril.

Not on meds at the beginning of my journey and not watching my diet, my total cholesterol was 254 (LDL 168 HDL 35) and my triglycerides were 253 - Not Good. BP was 150/90

Today with OTF (6 days/week) and on meds I'm at total cholesterol of 142 (LDL 82 HDL 47). Tri's are down to 63 and BP is 128/72

No more snoring without the CPAP but I sleep so good with it that I'm staying on it. Latest sleep study showed apnea. Was obviously much with the excess weight. Waist has gone from 38-40 to 34.
