I'm thinking about weight loss (again). I've done this before and had relative levels of success. I've done Weight Watchers and LA Weightloss. Now I'm ready to try something new, something a little drastic. I'm at my heaviest (non-pregnant) weight. I would like to lose weight, but I suffer from impatience. I don't want to wait a year or two to see the results. I want something that will work fast enough to keep my interest and motivation.
The HMR diet is run through my local health care clinic and involves mostly liquid replacement meals. It promises fast results and no decisions to make for the first 13 weeks. It is medically supervised. I'm attending an orientation session for it tomorrow and I will know more at that time. Right now I have just been doing multiple web searches for information. There is a serious lack of what I am looking for: Real people sharing their HMR diet experiences. So maybe I will try.
This brings up new questions for myself. Do I post with absolute honestly? Height, Weight, BMI, Measurements? If I did that, I would not necessarily want to share that information with friends and family. (I guess absolute strangers are OK though.) Do I play coy with the numbers just so I can let my friends and family read the blog? Hmmm. What about pictures? I would love to post some before, progress, and after shots. Again, maybe I wouldn't want to share the pictures that would be most motivating to me. (The ones where I look the worst.)
For now, I will continue to research and contemplate.

Hi,
Good luck with your process. I work for HMR. I am not here to give you my perspective but to point you to what you are looking for: hearing from others on the program.
I have found bloggers who share about their HMR dieting experience, by going on Google Alerts or IceRocket or BlogPulse. Read their comments and you'll get a range of experiences.
Good luck, no matter what you choose!!
