Chuck Bent, HMR Director

When asked in 2010 if I wanted to be a Health Coach, I responded: "And Help people lose weight?  I couldn't think of anything I would rather do More!"

When I joined the HMR program in 2007 as a client, I was 100 lbs heavier, could barely climb one or two flights of stairs, and if I tried to "exercise" and walked two miles, I was done for the rest of the day.  I had tried to lose weight on my own, but with all the misinformation out there - instead of losing weight I kept gaining.  Consequently, the doctor kept increasing my medications, and I was becoming less and less healthy. 

HMR Chuck Meeting 2021

Twelve months after joining the HMR program I was down 80 lbs and actually competed in a 4.4 mile stair race. I finished 27th in my age group out of 1500 runners.  My annual lab work is now "flawless" and my doctor is more pleased than ever. Now, helping others regain their health, reduce or eliminate their medications, and improve their quality-of-life, is my passion, is our passion, and is what all of our Health Educators do! 

The HMR Weight Loss program was just named by U.S. News and World Report as a Top Diet for 2015 and has two to three times more documented weight loss than any other weight-loss program.  Our Goal with HMR is to get the weight off as quickly as possible, get the client to their goal weight, and then teach them how to stay there for the rest of their life.  Most of us have all lost that same 30 or 40 lbs over and over again.  But our goal here at Milestone is to teach our clients about long-term healthy habits and Life Style Change. 

Our weekly classes are fun, motivating, and engaging.  Clients share successes, challenges, recipes, and strategies while learning about proper nutrition, portion control, exercise, label reading, and tips for long-term success.
