WW
17 wks, 35 pounds

However, there are many different factors that will affect the rate of loss! The last time I did WW, it took me the same amount of time to lose only 22 pounds, and I still couldn't lose the last 2 that I needed to reach goal! This time, I was a lot heavier, so have lost more pounds/week, but am still almost 15 pounds from goal...and my goal is 10 pounds higher than last time! I know as I get closer to goal, it will be all I can to to prevent a gain, never mind see a loss, every week.

Also, the amount and type of exercise will make a difference in how well you loose weight.

As many people have stated, you're better off looking at both plans, and then deciding which will suit your individual personality and preferences the best.

What is HMR, please?

I recently pulled together a bunch of highlights of my HMR experience into two messages posted to USENET. Here is an excerpt about HMR itself, and below are links to the two messages that contain all my descriptions of the experience and what I learned...

|specializing in programs for weight and health management. HMR's staff
|of health care professionals have provided programs for dietitians,
|nurses, psychologists, and exercise physiologists to establish more

|I have no connection with HMR other than being a patient.
