Jim’s Story
I am fifty years old and have been overweight my entire life. I am a salesman and my job requires me to sit at a desk most of the day. I would get off from work and go home and eat snacks until dinner was ready, then I would sit on the sofa and watch television until it was time to go to bed. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure before my 50th birthday.
My doctor recommended that I visit Maryland Healthy Weighs because I was too young for the health problems I had. I decided to sign up for the HMR Decision Free Diet and see what happened. Boy, am I glad I did! Within 16 weeks of starting the program I have lost 80 pounds and I look and feel amazing! I have been taken off both diabetes medicines and the high blood pressure medicine. My diabetes is completely under control, my blood pressure is perfect and I feel better than I have my entire life. I am walking or riding my bike at least five days a week.
I strongly recommend Maryland Healthy Weighs to anyone that is looking to change their lifestyle. This program is not just about the diet. The support you receive is like no other, I couldn’t have done this without the support of the MHW staff.”
