in Introduce Yourself
Hello!

I have lost 175 pounds in the last 14 months via the HMR decision free program. Now starting the biggest challenge, to transition my eating habits for the long term. Looking to use My Fitness Pal as for food and activity tracking.

    Update.

    Now nearly three months into maintaining. Doing well, staying at goal weight. Keeping food diary, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, white fish and chicken.

    Dawned on me the other day, I have never really had a goal of maintaining a certain weight before. I have been dieting to lose weight, or not dieting and gaining. This is a new way of life foe me.

    Update. Since September have maintained in the 190-195 range. Tracking and calorie counting everything I eat. Eating at least 10 servings of fruits\vegetables a day, plus mostly chicken and fish for meats. Feeling good!

    That is great! I cannot seem to maintain either. I am always losing or gaining. This time once I reach my goal I plan to track what I eat to maintain

    What is the HMR decision free program

    Google HMR diet and you will find the HMR web site. There you will find a locator to find sources that administer the program. I have been on all the programs over many years. HMR is different in that they REALLY understand what it takes to lose and keep it off. They have differing programs - disician free is a medically supervised program targeting large weight loss quickly, and changing the habits that got one to where they needed to lose a lot of weight. No pills, no fads, etc. Packaged foods,

    Update:

    Now just over two years since reaching goal weight and have continually maintained under goal weight. Would have never believed I would like this much weight, much less keep it off. Seriously life changing.

    I count everything in my fitness pal. Hit the gym three days a week for an hour of cardio and strength work. Calorie balance daily, meaning if I am over by a few hundred calories one day, I reduce by that same amount the next day.
