I was a size 24. I was an obese child and have always had weight problems. I tried more diets than I can count, but I’d lose the weight and gain it back. I felt like I was twice my age and I was exhausted. I went to my physician and I was told that if I kept up with my unhealthy habits I would be a candidate for a heart attack within the next 5-10 years. She told me that unless I did something about my weight, she would have to refer me to a bariatric surgeon.

If I had kept going at the rate I was, I would have physically done some irreversible things to my body. My weight was not creeping up…it was galloping!

With HMR® I have changed my entire life. I have new friends, I go to the gym, everything has changed. HMR eliminated my decision-making. I didn’t have a history of good decision-making around food, so I was glad to have HMR make them for me! I still eat a tremendous amount. I’ve just learned to change what I’m eating. I can see myself in HMR classes and using meal replacements ten years from now. I need the support and the skills they offer.

I’m a realist. I’m going to need the accountability that HMR gives me for a long time. Now that I lost the weight I bought an entirely new wardrobe. I couldn’t stop shopping. I was so thrilled not to go into the plus-size section of the department stores. I’m living my life as a healthy person now, and nothing is more important than that.

"Now, the world is my oyster!"

For many dieters, weight loss is temporary. Results not representative of all dieters in the program.
