The Journey Begins. . . . . .

In this blog I hope to chronicle my weight loss journey, the highs and the lows, the successes and the trials, as my husband and I start the Health Management Resource (HMR) medically supervised weight loss plan.

If you had asked me 10 years ago if I would ever do something like this, I would have said no, if you asked me 5 years ago, the answer still would have been no, even 1 year ago, the answer would have been no. . . . . but here I am, about to start this new adventure.

We decided to the HMR medically supervised program about 1 & 1/2 months ago. Since then its been a process of doctor appointments and waiting for the class to start. Tonight was the first night! Tomorrow will be the first full day of HMR, boy am I nervous!

When we decided to do the program, I looked for blogs on others experience with HMR, their successes and trials and what they found to get them through (in addition to wanting inspirational stories). Needless to say, there wasn't much 'current' stuff out there. So, I decided to blog about my experience. I hope to keep this blog updated weekly, possibly more. To not only inspire myself, but to help provide inspiration to others who are either embarking upon a similar journey, are in the middle of their journey & those who are in the wings waiting for that 'moment'.

I can't believe I am going to post my stats here, as many friends & acquaintances may come across this blog, but if I want to be an inspiration, it is important to know where I started and where I am going, here goes. . . . ..
