HMR Program Helps Dieter Lose Over 100 Pounds and Save Thousands of Dollars

(July 2009)

Since losing so much weight, Sam has also been able to take on home repairs and painting he previously had to hire out.  He estimates he saved $1,500 last year on such chores, plus $30.00 each week by mowing his own lawn. 

According to Anita Kinne, RN, Director of Nursing for HMR, stories like Sam’s are not that uncommon with dieters in the HMR program.  “Because HMR emphasizes healthy lifestyle changes, such as how to eat more fruits and vegetables, and how to get more daily physical activity, many patients are able to get healthier, reduce their medications, and most importantly, improve their quality of life.”

Adds Kinne, “These data show that real lifestyle change and medically significant weight loss are possible with the HMR Program for Weight Management.  Losing weight and practicing and sustaining healthier lifestyle behaviors is one of the most cost effective, if not the most cost effective thing you can do to reduce your current and future medical expenses.”
