Hi Shari,
Good luck with the doctor's appointment. My blood pressure has been declining fairly rapidly with this way of eating and the weight loss, and I hope yours does the same. At my last doctor's appointment before I started Atkins they wanted to put me on blood pressure medication, but I held off and I've been able to bring it down on my own. It was 117/74 on Monday, a figure I am very proud of.
I don't know whether or not you can get below 300 pounds by April. It sounds fast to me, but everyone is different. Just don't set yourself up for too much disappointment if you fail. I think that it is preferable to be pleasantly surprised when you succeed. That's why I always set low, easily obtainable, goals for myself.
