I have tried and been successful many times at losing weight. Regrettably, it never stayed away too long. This is my 10th try to lose it and keep it off. The HMR program was life changing. Suddenly I did not have to worry about what to choose among life's too many options. Choose a box, make a shake. How easy is that? Over the period of time, as I watched the weight come off, I learned how to eat real food, make appropriate choices, and keep the weight off. I now have maintained the weight loss for 7 months! Longer than I had in the past. My friends can not believe the amount of weight I lost, nor can they believe that I eat so much. This program never lets you get hungry. If you are hungry, you are not working the program correctly. I found that if I make the plan, work the plan, live the plan, I stay healthy eat the right foods, exercise and finally enjoying life again. I am always planning for the next day, my meals at work, and any trips I take. I found out if I cut my veggies, wash the fruit, and prepare for the week or a trip or just a golf outing, success is easy! HMR gave me a life again.
