Meet Tim, an inspiration for everyone trying to lose weight

Meet Tim

Our Facebook fans may remember Tim, a patient at our Chelmsford practice and a participant in The HMR Program for Weight Management^TM at Harvard Vanguard.  We featured Tim back in August.  At the time, he had lost a total of 117 pounds, just 19 weeks into the program.  We had shown him holding a 50-pound bushel of corn, which weighed less than half of the total weight he had already lost. 

Many people have since asked, “How’s the guy with the corn doing?” so we thought we’d give you an update. 

Tim recently returned from a cruise with his daughter. They had taken a cruise just 6 months before he began the HMR program, but this time it was a much different vacation.  Tim ran 5 miles every morning, arranged to have fruit and water in his room and brought his HMR cereal and shakes.  “Oh, I did it all,” said Tim.  “I surfed, climbed the rock wall and zip-lined.  My 16-year-old daughter couldn’t keep up with me.”

Tim returned to the clinic from his cruise with a 3.8 pound weight loss!  How many people can say they had a vacation and lost weight?  Now, less than 1 year since he started the HMR program, Tim has lost a total of 188 pounds, almost 50% of his initial body weight upon starting the program!

He continues to amaze us every week and is an incredible inspiration to so many.  We are so proud of him and all of his accomplishments.  His most recent response was, “It was easy.  A piece of cake.  I haven’t had a piece of cake in a year, but it was a piece of cake.”  Clearly, Tim has worked very hard every day in the program and has taken back control of his life.
