WLFL

So Greg and I are doing this diet for 3 months called Weight Loss for Life.  It is through a company called HMR and it is a medically supervised, super-low calorie diet.

Here's what the SW Washington Medical Center site says about it:

The name says it all. PeaceHealth Southwest's Weight Loss for Life (HMR®) program is a clinically proven, medical weight loss program that helps you take off the extra weight for good.

Weight Loss for Life's comprehensive programs provide:

   Weight loss results that exceed any other ongoing weight loss program
Options for everyone—from our clinic program with medical supervision to our do-it-yourself diet kits – all with superior results and program support
Delicious, nutritionally balanced foods
Affordable diets with meal costs lower than most people's food budgets
Support tools to make your diet easier and recipes to increase variety
An easy-to-follow, practical approach that teaches life-long skills for a healthy diet, physical activity, and overall health

PeaceHealth Southwest's Weight Loss for Life program is a licensed partnership with Health Management Resources® (HMR), the leader in clinically proven, medical weight loss programs. HMR's programs are based on extensive scientific research and are widely recognized for their successful outcomes. To date, more than 900,000 dieters have chosen HMR to lose weight and gain greater health. You can too.

We are now 6 weeks into the 13 week "quick start" part of the diet.  Greg has lost 31 pounds and I have lost 20.  Not bad for 5 weeks of work.  Don't get me wrong, it has been work!   We opted for the decision free diet where we can have a minimum of 2 entrees and 3 shakes a day.  The food is pretty good, but you can only eat their food - nothing else.  NOTHING else.  So far, we've managed, but I'm missing food in general.

More info to come as the weeks unfold.
