Losing Weight, Gaining Strength Together

Ray and Vicki Lohr

Ray and Vicki Lohr and Lee and Lisa Karsner each joined the Health Management Resources (HMR) program at Baptist East Milestone looking for change, and in turn gained much more than they lost in pounds.

About a year ago, Ray and Vicki began the HMR program after Ray overheard a patient discussing his 65-pound weight loss success through the medically-based weight management plan.

After a second visit from the patient, Ray decided it was time to invest in the program himself. But first he had to convince his wife of 25 years, Vicki, to join him in the attempt.

In February of 2011, Ray and Vicki began Phase 1 of the HMR program, which provides lifestyle education, a structured diet, nutritious food and personalized attention during weekly in-person meetings. Costing an average of just $12 a day, the meal plan features shakes, hot cereal, pudding, soup, energy bars and various entrees, all of which end up saving many people an average of $29 that theyre no longer spending on groceries.

Theyre very handy for lunch, Vicki said of the HMR entrees. They dont have to be refrigerated and you heat them up in a minute. Ive never been hungry and thats why it can work. Because if I was hungry, I wouldnt do it.

In over a years time, Ray has lost a total of 115 pounds, and Vicki 50 on the program. No longer attending meetings at Baptist East Milestone, the couple have continued to follow Phase 2 of the diet, while incorporating exercise into their weekly routine.

Planning has been key for Ray and Vicki, who prepare many of their meals a day or two in advance. But accountability may be the biggest motivating factor as theyve begun their journey to weight loss.

I dont think we would have been this successful (had we not done this together), said Vicki. I think were much closer and more supportive, and we do more things together.
