Roy has now lost 75 pounds with the HMR® Program for Weight Management at Intelligent Health Center.
Read his story below...
I started HMR in August 2009 when I was sent here by my heart specialist, Dr. Niazi, from Emory Clinic. I was 244 lbs and was on the verge of a heart attack. My diabetes was out of control, I was taking massive doses of insulin every day and the numbers kept increasing. My A1C test was in the 8+ range and I had already lost sight in my left eye from my diabetes. I also had a problem walking; I could barely walk my 10 year old daughter to the bus stop half a block from my house. After beginning the HMR program I started walking slowly with 10-15 minutes a day. I have now built up to 60 minutes of speed walking every day.
I have lost 74.6 lbs and my goal is 80 lbs so I am almost there! I am taking significantly less insulin and my latest A1C was 6.0 (goal of under 7.0), my Triglyceride level was at 111 (goal of less than 150) and my Cholesterol level is below 100 (a goal of 200). I have also been taken off some of my blood pressure medication and my dosages were significantly reduced.
I feel great about myself and I have thrown out my old XX Large clothing. I now fit into medium slacks and shorts. I plan to go swimming this summer because I can finally find a bathing suit that fits. I can now go to the amusement park with my daughters and enjoy going on the rides.
One more important subject is Phase 2. Unlike other commercialized programs, this program teaches you to eat right and keep the weight off. Other quick weight loss programs do not discuss with you what needs to be done to keep the pounds off after the program is completed.
I am feeling 1000% better and I have a new lease on life. I feel good about myself and I thank everyone at the Intelligent Health Center for their support. They have put together a great program and provide the necessary support to get the job done. Don't think about it, just do it...it will help you have a healthier life!!
Thank you for your invaluable support,
Roy
