That;s the general agreement, lost fat, gained muscle. As for the high blood pressure, As I read into it, it does all kinds of really bad shit to your entire body, setting you up for all sorts of other organ problems. So get that under control.
One thing I did was buy one of those battery powered automatic blood pressure cuffs at the drugstore. Once I realized that I needed to special order the larger cuff for it, as my arm was too big for the standard cuff, which led to error reading substantially higher than they actually were. I was able to get my BP every day. and the tihing has a USB port, so I can download the readings to my computer. This allowed me to keep really good track of it and let me be able to call into the office and have the medication adjusted with a phone call instead of waiting a full month and the next office visit. well worth the money.
