Well done Bob :-) I am struggling with the last digit at 26, hope to achieve 25 in the next few months .

To be fair 25.1 but I will live with that. Lightest I have been for about five years.

Does warfarin do something beyond blood thinning?

Warfarin doesn't thin blood it is an anticoagulant.

Yes of course. I was speaking casually.

Okay, I'll rephrase it:

Does Warfarin do something positive beyond anticoagulation? From your post it sounded like the Warfarin was at least partially responsible for the improvement of your BMI.
