Lose Weight Now

Have been using for about two weeks. You have to be open to relaxation and willing to accept suggestion. I chose to customize a program for me, by loading the cd to an mp3 file, then using an audio program to take segments of the audio out. What I ended up with was a custom audio file that I was then able to run in an endless loop. I did not want it waking me at the end of every 30 minute session. I have two programs from Glenn Harold that I ran end to end, then loaded it to an mp3 player and set it to repeat so that as long as I wanted I could use the program... namely at night while sleeping. Normally as one sleeps there are periods of twilight sleep where we are most suggestable. This is how I use it. You are never in a deep trance, and when awake are totally aware of your suroundings. When the alarm goes off in the a.m. I wake normally. As far as the program itself goes, it is good. You get used to the british accent after a while, but is a little distracting in the beginning. Have been using my adjusted program for two weeks and have lost ten pounds, without exercise or doing anything artificial. I find that I tend to eat a little less and get full faster. Seems I lose patience sitting at the table too long, especialy if there is a lot of food. I wanted to see if the self hypnosis worked on its own merit before adding in an exercise program. My goal is to lose 1 pound a week. I have a lot to lose, but have not been sucessful in the long term with other programs I have tried. Every expert I talked to indicates that the bottom line is that it is all in the head. So, what better way to adjust than to change how I think about food and how I eat. So far so good.

This is the first time I've bought a hypnosis CD. I read a book on self-hypnosis some 30+ years ago and dabbled a bit with it, but now that I need to lose 50+ lbs (I lost 75 lbs 7 years ago, but have gained most of it back), I haven't been able to sustain the concentration to do it. So I got this CD, the Mind Over Platter CD by Rosa Smith-Montanaro, and a general health-oriented CD from the Beverly Hills Hypnosis series. I also got the book, Monsters and Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis? by Heller and Steele.This one is the first CD that I listened to.The music that starts and ends the sessions is kind of 70's hokey, but is not present for most of the session. The speaker has an accent (maybe Australian or South African?), which is slightly distracting but nothing I couldn't get used to. There were a couple of places where I didn't understand what he was saying, but one of them I figured out, and the other was one of the "subliminal" suggestions that I recognized on the CD insert afterwards. In either case, on future listenings inability to understand wouldn't be an issue.My biggest problems were 1) I found his visualization path didn't match my own (for example, he suggested seeing yourself in a mirror, whereupon I saw myself naked or in my underwear; then he added "in your nice new outfit", which of course clashed with my own image); 2) for some reason, I found myself arguing with him in my thoughts - I can't remember even about what; and 3) his voice made me feel sluggish and heavy -- exactly the opposite of what I know works for me when losing weight.I did finish the session awake and alert and with no desire to eat, but I've been getting some of that over the course of the last week just in anticipation of the CDs' arrival. Plus, I've only listened to the CD once, since I so much preferred the Mind Over Platter CD.

I, too, am deriving assistance in losing weight from this hypnosis CD. I find things I do automatically changing, even the kind of groceries I buy and the way I prepare food, too. Very worth the money. The reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is that his accent is hard to understand at times as he just mangles words, and I found it distracting that I had to kind of wonder what he had just said instead of being able to absorb the message he was trying to deliver. There are some words I just cannot get no matter how many times I listen to this CD. But it's an excellent tool, nevertheless. I would advise him to take elocution lessons, though.

I am 70 years old with almost 150 lbs. to lose. I lost 33 lbs. with a popular diet program last year, but my hunger kicked in and I gained about 10 lbs back in three months. Having tried every diet I can find unsuccessfully, I was desparate to find something to curb the hunger. The constant insatiable hunger is the main reason I did not resume the latest program. I was even rejected for gastric surgery due to previous other surgeries and my age. I know the source of the hunger is in my head but couldn't find any way to stop it.I had purchased this cd several years ago but put it away as I didn't believe in hypnosis, but as I was so desparate, I found it last week, put it on and lo and behold, after one session, my appetite has been curbed to a great degree. I lost 1-1/2 lbs. in one day. I am no longer able to just binge on anything I can find to stop the constant hunger. I eat a few bites and am satisfied for quite a while. I use the cd once a day to reinforce what he is programming into my subconscious.I am so impressed that I ordered 3 more of his cd's on finances, etc. Hope I am as successful with them. I love his voice and accent and find them very soothing.

This started out really well---until I fell asleep---twice! I don't know if it's just me or what, but I fell asleep while listening to this. The advice Harrold gives to lie down and relax while listening to the CD is probably not the way to go for me. I am going to try it just sitting in a chair in a relaxed position and hopefully I won't fall asleep next time.

I love Glenn Harrold as he uses a hypnotising effect, especially using headphones. I haven't found this one has worked at all for me yet, but then I haven't listened to it every day. I keep it in my laptop, intending to listen every day. On the negative side, because you need to be relaxed for it to sink in if you like, then in the middle of the day, you may not have the time this cd takes to sit down and completely switch off, rather your likely to fall asleep. Its exactly the same format as the SLEEP CD I have of his, but that works a treat for me. I like his voice and the fact it does on a long time, as others I've tried only last a short time. However, you won't need to listen to it all everytime.

I purchased this CD only about 10 days ago. Initially, what was the immediate benefit to myself was the relaxing mode of the CD. However, slowly but surely the weight control emphasis emerged. As a stubborn, life time over indulger of food, this is the first time that a gentle nudge appears in my mind each time I eat. I find myself reaching for the healthier alternative food, which is a great start. The other equally important factor is, that I feel as if the invisible chains of the diet regime have been thrown off. Now, in my life, I have the freedom to eat without fretting, as I have somehow gained a sense of control and I know I will not overeat. For myself, it is important to listen to the whole CD every day, as it is the mainstay of my eventual weight loss. I intend to listen and keep listening to the powerful words of Glenn, for ever and a day or for how long it takes to shed my excess weight.

I used to be a huge fan of Glenn's work but recently I've been noticing that none of his hypnosis seems to have much of an effect on me...I have about 8 of his CD's. It's occured to me that they're all rather vague. Whilst he talks in very positive terms and is encouraging, he doesn't give any specific instructions. I think a personalised session with him might be amazing, but to cover everyone's needs on mass doesn't seem to be working. I think I was a fan of his work because I love his story about beating all the odds and succeeding in life, but sadly that doesn't make the hypnosis work (for me anyway).

I've been listening to this CD every day for the last ten days and have finally started to shift some weight. The sweet treats I was hooked on no longer seem so interesting and I'm finding myself automatically choosing smaller, healthier meals. I found a similar CD by Glenn Harrold very helpful last summer (Look Young Live Longer) but it was a library copy and I had to return it - after a while I did find the effect wore off so I bought my own copy. I'm listening to Lose Weight Now every day and will keep on listening regularly until I reach my target weight.

Excellent CD. Never done hypnotherapy before but have not touched chocolate in the week I have been using it. Also, have self esteem and self confidence CDs. Found myself acting different at work. Much more confident.Must say, everytime I think about something fattening to eat I have little voice in my head telling me to go for the health option. Also, fall asleep while listening makes no difference, and I sleep like a baby and feel really relaxed. Was on sleeping tablets prior to this
