"So many great things have happened to me because of HMR and my weight loss…I’m looking forward to living out a long and healthy life!"
HMR has been a blessing to me. They have given me my future! Starting the program at age 25, and weighing 421.7 pounds, I never thought that I would have much of a future. I was single, unhealthy, and didn’t seem to care about myself or the other people around me. HMR changed that. They have a program that is so easy to follow. I think that is one of the reasons that I was so successful in getting the weight off. HMR is a no-decisions diet. You know exactly what you have to do and, as long as you listen to your health educator and follow the program, the weight will just fall off. I obviously noticed a difference in my health and how it started to improve while I was on the program but I also noticed that my attitude on everything started to change. I was a happier person who was looking forward to my future. It was great! So many great things have happened to me because of HMR and my weight loss. I am engaged to the woman of my dreams, I am planning to run a half marathon, and I am looking forward to starting a family and living out a long and healthy life! These are all things that I never would’ve thought would be possible 4 years ago. The best part is that not only did HMR help me lose the weight but they are also helping me maintain my weight loss. HMR’s maintenance program is great. The accountability I get from going to a weekly class and interacting with other people is priceless. They help you to get through any challenges that you have in your life as well as certain times of the year such as the holiday season. I am definitely a “lifer” when it comes to the HMR Maintenance program. After all, if it wasn’t for my health educator and HMR I wouldn’t be here today! Thank you HMR!
