Need weight loss help

I was on course losing 85 lbs last year, but the doctor was not happy with my blood pressure hovering around 145/93 and put me on Atenerol. Well, one of the side effects of said drug is rapid weight gain and swelling of the ankles. The doctor changed my prescription, but I still can’t get the weight back off. Got any suggestions?

The only advice I have is the advice you already know:

Weight train regularly with sensible intensity.

Apply ample cardio.

Eat right always… we’re all different and need different nutritional plans.

Try the tuna and water diet.

Use Bomber Blend as a meal replacement once a day… give me high protein, medium good-fats, medium healthy-carbs.

Be strong… in mind, attitude and behavior and discipline.

Be confident and happy (joyful or content) in your training approach.

Pursue, persevere, persist, stick to it and never, never give up.

Be grateful for every challenge (this one often gets sneers of contempt).

Consider another doctor if you’ve lost confidence in this one because weight and blood pressure are substantial issues.

Go… Godspeed… Dave
