Jim M’s Story
Walking 200 yards left me winded. My triglyceride level was over 300. The Metformin that I was taking to manage my diabetes was at the highest level and my blood sugar still wasn’t well controlled. I was far from the skinny kid of my youth and the likelihood of ever seeing that person again seemed only a fantasy. I got to the point in my life that I was resolved to the fact that I was not going to lose weight which caused me to spiral even further into a depressive state.
I got to the point that I really didn’t care any longer. However, when a friend of mine died due to his weight, I finally decided to come to the HMR Program at Maryland Healthy Weighs. I did not believe that it would work but I made a decision to give it a try. A week after I made my decision, my primary care doctor called and gave me grief because of my blood test results. This sealed my decision to stick with HMR.
Now I am no longer taking diabetic medications and my triglyceride level is around 70. I lost over 60 pounds in six months in Phase 1 and have maintained that weight loss over the past eight months in Phase 2. I get compliments all of the time and feel great. Did I mention that I’m wearing my 16 year old’s hand-me-downs…and actually wearing sizes that I wore in high school! HMR, you have given me a new lease on life – Thank you!!
