Congratulations! That's great news. The same thing happened to my brother-in-law (The Doctor). He saw how much weight I was losing on Atkins that he decided to give it a try (he already knew and understood the basic theory of the diet and agreed with it). He has now been on the diet for about 2 months and doing great. He has been on Blood pressure meds for years. His wife (my sister) checks his B/P daily. If he misses a day his B/P goes through the roof. Well they were on vacation and forgot to pack his meds. When my sister checked his B/P it was staying down and has remained that way ever since.
There are just so many more benifits from eating the way than just losing weight.
