Please share with me any good or bad experience about loosing weight with hypnosis. I'm trying to get rid of 13 pounds and I'm wondering if it works or not, and if works if I don't need to loose to many pounds.

Thanks,

E.

Many many years ago, I went to one of those group hypnosis sessions. It didn't work at all. Back in 2003, my mother had a friend at work whose father started listening to a hypnosis tape for weight loss and he was having really great success with it. The name of the tape is Lose Weight Through Self-Hypnosis by Harold Bloomfield and Vetesse Sirah. I ordered it thru Amazon and I lost 13 pounds effortlessly while listening to it. I listened to side 1 only once and from then on, I only listened to side 2 (I didn't really like side 1) and I had to take 30 minutes out of my day, every day, for several weeks, to listen to it, but the effects were great for me and long lasting. My hunger level went way down, water started tasting really great and I had less cravings for foods that were high calorie and more cravings for vegetables. I was also more motivated to exercise and actually felt guilty when I didn't exercise. Even after I stopped listening to the tape, the effects lasted a long time. I was able to lose an additional 40 pounds on WW as well and it was so weird hearing people at the meetings talk about having to struggle not to eat too much when I found it so easy. I found the best way to listen to the tape was on a walkman with headphones when I knew I wouldn't have any distractions. Also, I had to be sitting up because I would always fall asleep when I layed down. I'm hoping to start using the tape again because I got pregnant in 2004 and gained all my weight back. I hope it works as good this time as it did the last. Just fyi, I also bought Health Journeys: A Meditation to Help You with Weight Loss by Belleruth Naparstek to listen to on CD and Slim Forever for Females: Subliminal Self-Help by Audio Activation to listen to in the car, but I bought these later and didn't listen to them as frequently or regularly so I can't really say if they helped as much or not. The good thing about the CD by Belleruth Naparstek was it was supposed to work even if you did fall asleep so I usually listened to that one when I layed down for bed and the one for the car was nice because it was just subliminal. No talking. Just music and waves and sounds so I wasn't really concentrating on it when I was driving. I guess the most important thing I found wth regard to the hypnosis tape was consistency. If I didn't listen to it almost every day for several (at least 3 or 4) weeks, I didn't get the same effect. I've tried restarting it several times. I am finding it much harder to find that extra 30 minutes now than I did before my last child. Wonder why? ;-) Good luck!

Hi E.,

I will tell you that if you only need to lose 13 lbs, you do not need a hypnotherapist. I saw one from June to last month and she helped me out a bunch. I have lost about 30 lbs. (need to lose about 20 more) and it was pricey, but if you only need to lose 13 lbs., you can do that on you own for free!! I was happy, but I am still continuing to listen to my DVD's even though my sessions are over with.

You need to drink TONS OF WATER!! In fact, she really just helped me with my mind set and mind change. I exercise 6 days a week with 3 days w/ weights and I drink tons of water and make better food choices.

Begin by drinking 1- 16 oz glass of water before each meal, 1 -16 oz water during your meal and another 16 oz glass afterwards. It will make a huge difference and you will notice it right away. I drink 30 oz at each meal sitting (yes, 3 times) and never finish anything on my plate! Water keeps you full and feeling full all the time!! This helps tremendously!!

Good Luck,

G. B.

I'm not sure about hypnosis other then I had a friend who left there and spent $15.00 on herself at Luby's. Although I've heard for some people it does work. I am on "Isagenix" and it is awesome! There is a 9 or 30 day program and you see great results in both. If you have any questions call me and maybe I can help. ###-###-#### I know it stinks when you try everything and nothing seems to help!! Good Luck!!! S.

I have no idea if hypnosis works to lose weight?? I just wanted to share with you that I lost 10 lbs using Arbonne's Figure 8 Weight loss system. It was easy and fast...took about a week and a half and I have kept it off for about 8 months. You can learn more about it at www.arbonne.com or www.gofigure8.com

Good luck!
