Some vital statistics

To give anyone who reads this an idea of where I am right now, I am 5'6" tall, with a medium frame.

On July 5th, I weighed 256.6 pounds. This morning (July 25th), I weighed 246.6 pounds. I've 10 lbs, or 3.9% of my body weight, in 20 days. That's a respectable loss of 1/2 pound a day.

My blood pressure in June was measured as high as 172/128 (was sent to the hospital for that) and as low as 138/85 (high end of normal). I'd like to get my BP down to 120/70 but with my family's history of hypertension, that is ambitious. My resting heart rate is anywhere from 90bpm when I'm perfectly calm to 120 bpm when I'm anxious.

I have asthma, and I also smoke. Half a lifetime ago, I didn't smoke, wore a size 4-6 and didn't really have a problem with my asthma. My goal is to quit smoking at some point, probably when the stress of the breakup has subsided, and to get my asthma under control. I'm tired of wheezing all the time.
