Today I start weight reduction

Today is the day I start weight reduction regimen. I just got on the scale and to my surprise the scale is tipping at 295lbs. My God almost 300lbs! Its amazing how fast ones weight can accumulate. As a result of consistant stress and my increased weight my blood pressure has been approximately 168/110 which is very high. The Doctor started me Norvasic 5 mg although it was not working until I doubled the dosage. Basically I now take two 5mgs of Norvasic. My blood pressure is now 125/83 normal. I will start exercising everyday by walking 3 miles and eating more vegetables and fruits. I'll get up early morning and start my exercise regimen and monitor my weight and B/P on a daily basis.
