It all started in the fall of 2007. I had finally had enough of feeling heavy and depressed and decided I was going to join the HMR program. So I did and I did it 110% I had also been trying to conceive for about 7 years with no success. It was a rough time. Once I started on HMR I immediately felt in control and powerful because I was doing something good for me. Once I started to see results, it was a rush of super positive emotions from then on. The weight seemed to just melt off. After losing the first 20 pounds, I switched into maintenance and lost an additional 15 pounds. The in-clinic classes were key for me. My instructor Roz kept me motivated and accountable. I was able to reach my goal and maintained it as well. I then got the biggest surprise ever! I was able to conceive, and I am convinced that the weight-loss was the reason. I have HMR to thank for helping me achieve the body I had always wanted and for the amazing miracle of a child.
