My doctor recommended HMR to me after I'd lost about 100 pounds on my own (with some unpleasant health effects) and stalled. I couldn't lose any more with all of the usual weight loss programs available, so I decided that it was time to find a medical solution to what was undoubtedly a medical problem for me.

Choosing to join an HMR decision-free diet program was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only did I lose the weight I needed to lose, I learned the skills I needed to keep the weight off for the rest of my life. How do I know? Because I've now kept off the full 200 pounds since 2003 - 8 years and counting! I draw on the skills I learned in the HMR Maintenance course every single day. I cannot even begin to convey how valuable the information I received in those 18 months was and how much the education I received has shaped the choices I make and my health management ever since.

I blog about the choices I make every day to keep off those 200 pounds on my weight management blog: Keeping Off 200

HMR helped me become the person I always wanted to be, the person I knew was inside of me all along. I've gained confidence, happiness, contentment and immense satisfaction from the changes I made in my body and habits through the skills I learned with HMR.
