You’re ready to do what it takes to reach your weight loss goals. If you’ve just joined HMR, or are thinking about joining, you’re probably excited to get started and wondering exactly what to expect. What happens next? Here’s what the first few weeks will look like as you take on the challenge of changing your thinking, your habits and your relationship with food.


Getting Ready:  

---

Woohoo! Your first shipment is on its way!
Watch for your shipping confirmation and welcome email letting you know when you can expect your HMR foods to arrive.

Go mobile.​
Set up your HMR profile in the mobile app tracker—a great first step to start setting yourself up for success!

Meet your HMR Health Coach. 
Time to sign up for weekly group phone sessions with your HMR Coach! You’ll start setting personal goals, hearing tips from fellow members and putting your action plan in place right away.

Hit the produce aisle!
You’ll want to stock up on your favorite fruits and veggies so you’re ready to meet your minimums and eat at least 5 servings every day.

Remove temptation.
Follow the guidelines in your program manual for creating a supportive home environment by clearing your cabinets of any foods not on the program.

Ready. Set. Go!
Plan your DAY 1. We’ll send you some helpful Quick Start videos that will answer a lot of your questions and help you start. Remember planning and preparing is key to success on the HMR Program.

Your First Week:  

---

Get used to eating your minimums.
New members are always surprised at how much food you get to eat in a day—3 HMR Shakes + 2 HMR Entrees + 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.

Stick to the program.​
It’s important to stay 100% on the plan, especially at the beginning. Research shows that early commitment is a reliable predictor of losing the most weight and having the best long-term success¹.

Plan. Plan. Plan.
Now that you’ve accomplished week 1, week 2 is all about continuing to do the necessary prep work so you can stick to your plans.

Talk to your coach.
Keep a running list of things to talk to your coach about. Your group members are also a treasure trove of practical tips for common challenges.

Week 2 and Beyond:  

---

Weekends are tough.
Especially the first few! Give yourself permission to eat more HMR foods, fruits and vegetables when you need to. This is the perfect time to start assembling your traveling emergency stash of HMR foods, so you never get caught hungry away from home.

Start experimenting.​
Now that you’re getting the hang of eating on the program, you will start having some fun with how you mix in your 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Now’s a great time to be adventurous in the produce department!

Join the community.​
Connect with other HMR members in our private HMR Diet Community Support Facebook Group for even more support, motivation and helpful strategies from, Health coaches and other members on the same journey. 

  
 

 

Remember why you’re doing this. You got serious about your weight loss goals for a reason. Keep that reason in mind. And now that you know what to expect, you can start working toward your goals today!
