    I did HMR about 5 years ago, but I was under a doctor's care. Are you just using the shakes or are you eating food as well?

    The first 3 days are tough, but once you get beyond that, It's pretty easy and you feel amazing.

    Good luck.

    I am doing HMR. I LOVE it. I have been successful before on it and then quit maintenance (or what they now call Phase 2). I am trying to take it slower and make it more of a lifestyle change than a quick fix. I am doing the shakes only but once in awhile incorporate an entree or cereal. I am doing 5+5 now as I am a vegetarian and I get sick of the same meat free entrees over and over. The 800 shakes are so creamy and filling they really push out gap foods.

    It's a diet plan managed out of a medical clinic (home base in Boston). I am in Rochester, MN and ours is based out of our local medical center. The plan has 2 phases, weight loss and maintenance. During the weightloss phase you have several options some are medically supervised and you get a prescription for the food you eat. The plan I did in weighloss phase was healthy solutions where you eat 3 of their delicious shakes each day plus 2 of their entrees along with 5 fruits and vegetables. You can eat more than that of those foods each day you just can't eat less. During maintenance to maintain your loss there is a minimum in smaller amounts of shakes/entrees and they help you work lean proteins/whole grains back into your diet. You can still lose weight in maintenance too and they will continue to help with that if you chose to continue losing.

    I started with HMR here in Virginia Beach in Aug 2009. I lost 35 pounds and cut my percent body fat in half. I still use the products and have at least one, usually two meal replacments a day. However, what i had to figure out was that physical activity is KEY to keeping the weight off. I had a summer job that kept me on my bike 5 nights a week all summer. Once that was over I slowly started gaining a few pounds. From Sept through Dec I gained about 10 lbs. I took me that long to make the connection since I was still eating the shakes and entrees. I've refocusing my efforts, significantly increased my physical activity and along with my food journal, I am heading back down. I also started attending the Phase 2 classes again to reinforce what I learned, but mostly because I need to be accountable to someone and this helps me focus my efforts.

    It's the easiest thing I've ever done and really not that expensive if you realize how much you save on shopping and eating out. I have always been on the Healthy Solutions plan (3 shakes + 2 entrees + 5 servings of fruits/vegetables) and the cost of the HMR products and classes worked out to about $15/day. Add in fruits/vegetables and no resturant costs and we saved money. Since their motto is "More is Better" I was never hungry. Still hungry? Have another Shake or entree. Or another serving a of fruits/veggies. Or a BenFit bar (4 great flavors!).

    Question - did anyone on the program not like the shakes? I heard people in my class complain about the shakes and then realized they were drinking them plain! I've never had a plain vanilla or chocolate shake. Mixing them with fruit, pudding mixes, jello, coffee flavoring or extracts makes for endless combinations. A few of my favorites are the White Chocolate Pear (Van shake, 1 cup pears and 1 T sugar-free fat-free White Choc pudding) and another is Blueberry Cheescake (Van Shake, 1 cup fozen blueberries and 1 T sugar-free fat-free cheescake pudding). Pina Colada and Almond Joy are also very good. Check out the recipes at http://www.twb4u.com/shakes-smoothies.asp for both Decison Free and Healthy Solutions. If you have shake or entree recipes I'd love to see them.
