I have a similar story. My blood pressure spiked last fall just as I began the diet, and for a month I had readings between 145/95 and 140/90 fairly regularly. Within 3-4 months after beginning this WOE, after I had lost 30 pounds or so, I experienced a dramatic drop and started getting readings around 125/80. I started jogging, and now that I have lost 60 pounds and jog 3 miles 3 times per week, my BP readings are usually 120/70 and my resting pulse rate is nearing 60. I haven't felt this good since my early 20's.
