I too was on BP meds for six years but am now off of them. A 35# weight loss, a focused diet, and regular exercise works wonders toward lowering the body's workload and increasing efficiencies.
People that have not seen me for a while ask me how I've done it. "Diet and exercise." Most people believe there must be a Silver Bullet, but there isn't.
Loosing weight is kinda like bodywork on a car. The first part is pretty easy, but getting the last % takes proportionally a ton more work. For me simply dieting/restricting caloric intake does not work. I have to exercise regularly and have a reasonable diet to make it work.
