1 year weight loss, kit 1
I ordered HERS 1 year ago. I lost 7 lbs. from 5/10/25-waiting for my Kit 1 to arrive. I've never posted my statistics before, because I find them embarrassing to have weighed so much. I'm 64, 5'11', SW 352 lbs. CW 224 lbs. I lost the remaining 121 lbs. (128# total) while using HERS, keeping a calorie deficit (approx. 1200 calories), drinking as much water as recommended, and logging everything I ate in the Myfitnesspal app. It keeps me accountable. I've always been overweight. My husband passed away 2 years ago, after a 2-year fight with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). I ate my grief, eating anything that would not bite me back for a year, & really packed on more pounds. I did not start any exercising until Jan 1, 2026, & now I ride my exercise bike 3 times a week for 45-60 mins.
In March 2025 I had asked my Dr. if he would put me on Contrave (that was all my ins. would pay), but he had no experience with it, & wasn't comfortable with me being on it. So I found HERS online, which is very close to the same as Contrave. At my last checkups, my Dr could not believe the progress, and is a believer in HERS now. Sadly, since they no longer have the Kits 1-6, it's a moot point.
Since I live alone now, I eat healthy and do not keep tempting treats, only healthy. I'm plateauing & the food noise is back. But I am very happy with how HERS helped me. I hope this might help someone if they might be trying to decide to try a weight loss program. I was that person for a few months myself, but I am so glad I took the chance & I would 1000% do it again!
