My name is Vicki R. I'm from Granite City, Illinois and I've lost 30 pounds with Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic

A long struggle...
I have struggled with weight all my life. I remember when I was in the 6th grade; my doctor put me on my first diet. I didn't have a problem with my weight again until I had my children. With my second son came the onset of many health problems. I was in and out of the hospital, took a lot of medication, and gained weight. I also lost my father who I was very close to. Needless to say I did not want to get out of bed in the morning.

The solution...
I went to get my hair done and in the building was Personal Motivation Hypnosis. I wrote down the phone number thinking I would call because I heard hypnosis worked for people to quit smoking. My husband said he might be interested in trying this. So, I went with him thinking I would do the Free Screening for weight loss. Wow! I thought, "This is for me. I can do this. I can lose weight; I just need the motivation to do so!"

Results...
Immediately after my first session, I felt fantastic. I had already joined a health club and was doing the exercise, but it seemed like I was eating more... Personal Motivation Hypnosis helped me get my priorities in order. At every session I picked up something just for me! I felt great! I thought, "I can do this!"

A new me...
I give a very heartfelt thanks to Personal Motivation for success in motivation that I have been able to achieve. I would not have been able to overcome so many things without their help. It has been one of the easiest things I have ever done just by signing up. Now exercising, drinking water, and thinking thin are a part of my life. After joining the Clinic I have done things that I never thought I would do. The hypnosis also helped motivate in other ways. I am a Realtor. I now have my Broker's License and I am on the Board of Directors for the Greater Gateway Board of Realtors who has close to 1,500 members. I am very active. I have 2 sons -11 and 6 - and they are very active with their father in Boy Scouts. I just went on my first family camp out.. (Something I never thought I would do and neither did my family.)

Free Screening...
I would highly recommend their services. They will help you to gain a new way of life! Call now for a Free Screening. Hypnosis helped me and it can help you.


My name is Cindy R. and I went from a size 10 to a size 6 in seven weeks with hypnosis.

Rubin BeforePain - Weight loss has been an issue and torture in my life for several years. After the child bearing years, the weight has crept up more and more each year. With my children now in their teens, I can no longer use “baby weight” as my excuse. I have tried so many diets through the years and failed with them all. If any were successful, only 5-10 pounds would come off. Disgruntled, I would give up quickly and soon gain all the weight back plus more.

I made the call - Hypnotherapy has always intrigued me, and I decided to try it after my sister-in-law related her success story about quitting smoking so effortlessly. I went in for my interview and was impressed by the staff’s knowledge and professionalism. After my first session, I was amazed at how natural it felt to eat healthy. I didn’t even need to tell myself to stop; I no longer wanted to reach for those sugary comfort foods. Fruits and vegetables had now become my comfort food. The weight came off immediately. The first week I lost 6 pounds. I thought this will be as usual, but the weight continued to come off. The amazing part was not needing will power to continue eating healthy. I just became a person who eats healthy.

Rubin AfterGreat Results - My excitement continued throughout my first six sessions. One day I went shopping with my16-year-old daughter. I was very nervous to try on clothes, as my experiences always left me depressed. I tried on my old size and the clothes were too big, I kept trying smaller sizes and surprisingly, those outfits zipped up easily. When my daughter looked at me and said, “Mom, you look great!”, I knew then that the outfit did look good.

I feel better about myself - I cannot express my gratitude enough for the great changes I’ve experienced from hypnotherapy. A side benefit to my weight loss was a reduction in stress. I find myself better able to stay focused, thus accomplishing my goals with greater ease. As a teacher, who’s also working on her Masters, a mom and a wife, staying focused and prioritizing has been most beneficial. My self-esteem has also changed for the better. I can look in a mirror or my reflection in a window and think I really have changed. I like the way I look! Anyone who knows me well can attest to the fact that I have never believed that before.

Free screening - Hypnotherapy has been a life changing experience for me, thanks to the incredible support and true care and concern of the staff members of the Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic. If hypnosis worked for me, then it will work for you. So call for your free hypnosis screening and start feeling better about yourself today.


I had been aware of the Hypnosis Clinic for at least nine months. I would read the ads, and think “They make it look so easy; it must be a scam”. I had never met anyone who had gone through hypnosis before, but the ads intrigued me. I made my appointment for the free orientation, thinking if nothing comes of it, I’d still have a good story to tell my friends. The short screening convinced me to give hypnosis a try. I had been dieting and “watching calories” all my life. I quickly made my first session for the next week. It was the most enjoyable 60 minutes I’ve ever spent! It was effortless! I felt relaxed and happy! No obsessing about food! I went grocery shopping that same day and couldn’t believe that I had no desire for the foods I used to buy, but I had a strange desire to shop in the produce section. I knew that was a big change for me, and I couldn’t wait to see what else I would do!

My friend asked me how the session went. I told her - it’s a cliché - but hypnosis had honestly changed my life. I started noticing that I was in a much better mood. Nothing seemed to stress me out. I felt like I had gotten my old self back. After a few weeks, my friend said, “Alright - what have they done to you? You’re not the same person!” I feel like I’ve finally fit into my skin (and it’s shrinking!). It’s been 10 weeks now, and I’ve lost
30½ pounds. I have to convince my family I’m not on a diet. I can eat whatever I want. I feel like that’s been the biggest surprise for me.

September 29, 2005 My name is Kathy S. and I’ve lost 50 pounds with hypnosis! Hypnosis for weight loss has changed my mental image of myself. I always thought I was a good person, just not good at weight control. I don’t have to think about that anymore. It has become very easy to eat healthy delicious, healthy foods without giving it any thought. I do think about food but differently than before hypnosis, deciding early in the day what my meal plans are an then setting food thoughts aside. Now I can fill my thoughts with more fun things.

Exercise was at the bottom of my list of priorities. Now I’m walking 2 ½ miles a day - everyday. My energy level has risen greatly. It’s wonderful to want to be busy all day knowing your energy will last that long. In the past my energy would just disappear in the late afternoon and I would use caffeine so as to be able to keep going. No more need for caffeine! I never in my life thought I would enjoy drinking water so much. It truly is the best drink in town.

I haven’t given up all of the foods that I am fond of; I still have them if it is a special occasion. It’s amazing that they don’t taste as good as I remember. Chocolate was a bugaboo for me but now I really do prefer a beautiful piece of fruit. I was stunned when I made a fresh peach pie for company and I served it and didn’t want any. It wasn’t that I was telling myself not to have it - I really didn’t want it. I have learned to prepare foods the healthy way. I am truly enjoying my life and new lifestyle. This is a way of life not a diet - so I don’t have to worry about falling off and getting back on. In one session, I felt I was having trouble before dinner as I was doing some snacking on fresh vegetables, she said “Kathy, I think you have this confused with a diet.” Before my husband got home from work was by far the worst time of day for me. Now I walk instead of wait.

I was wearing a size 20 and not wanting to go shopping for anything new for fear those might not fit. I now am wearing 10/12’s that zip and button with ease. Jeans with a waste band - not part of my wardrobe before.

I’m 60, lost more than 50 in 6 months and the last six months have been so easy. I am keeping that weight off, effortlessly.

I love the way I feel. Successful!!!

I've Lost 66 Ibs. in 7 months!

My life style has changed as a result of self hypnosis. I have been able to lose weight without the pain of hunger and self denial. It has instilled in me the power to eat a more healthy diet. I eat more wholesome foods like; fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and pastas. I drink water with all my meals. I drink at least 6 to 12 glasses of water a day. I have eliminated adding sugars or items with artificial sweeteners. I take the time to read labels and ensure that they are low in fat, less than 20%. I used to walk three times a week for a half hour. I now reward myself with exercise and walk seven days a week for up to an hour a day.

This has been the easiest change to my life I have ever done. I have learned failing to plan is planning to fail. I now plan my meals ahead of time. I have lost 66 lbs. so far and only have 14 more to hit my goal. My doctor is happy to see me finally lose the weight; my wife is thrilled with the change.

I'm happy and satisfied with the results so far and know it is in my control now and for the rest of my life.

Every day is every way. I am getting better and better.

Last January I saw an advertisement to help lose weight with hypnosis. So, I decided to check it out and was very impressed by the program. I knew I needed to lose weight and keep it off. My major problem was that I had a sweet tooth. After only one session I lost all of my cravings for sweets. It is amazing what a person can do with their mind hypnosis is great! The sessions were also great in helping out with other problems! These problems were causing me to overeat and make poor food choices. Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic taught me how to eat smart and exercise. Now I have a regular routine that I keep up with almost every day. So far I have lost 25 pounds and I plan on losing more. The mind is a great thing. Hypnosis helps you use it towards your advantage.

I tried almost every weight-loss program around to lose weight. At first, all of them worked for a minimal time. After a month or so, I quickly got tired of "dieting" and went back to my old habits of eating whatever I wanted.

Eventually, the weight came back on. My hope of ever being a healthy weight disappeared. The more depressed I became, the more weight I gained. It was a vicious cycle.

Then I saw an article in the newspaper about Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic and read some of the testimonials. I was intrigued, so I set up my free screening at the clinic to find out more about subconscious mind, and when given the appropriate suggestions,can curb unhealthy eating habits and establish new, long-term, healthy habits. I decided to try the program. After all, nothing else was helping, and what did I have to lose, but weight.

I've been on the program for 23 weeks and have lost 38 lbs.

I don't really feel like I'm dieting, since everything is really working on a subconscious level. I eat healthy and really want to! I am also walking 2 to 3 miles a day and really want to! My goal is to lose another 35 Ibs and, on this program, I believe I can accomplish this goal.

I don't feel deprived of anything I really want to eat! I exercise regularly and drink 8 glasses of water a day. I feel so much better both physically and mentally. I'm finally getting back to my "old" self. I am looking forward to getting into my "old" clothing size (before the weight gain).

Thank you Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic. You've made all the difference to me and my weight loss!

This has been a life-changing experience for me. In 6 months I have reduced my weight by 24 lbs. And am keeping it off!

My cholesterol has dropped some 20 pts to 150. One more dress size and I will be out of the "Women's Dept."

The relaxation techniques I have learned were totally not what I expected, but they have and are serving me well. It's a safe and comforting feeling to know that I am always in control. While my weight reduction has not been as dramatic as others, it has been a steady process, and it will continue until I reach my goal, and for the first time in my life—I am 70—I am confident I will no longer be playing the "Yo-Yo" game.

I have been more than pleased vvirh the results of attending these sessions. I have been able to reduce my blood pressure medication by 1/2 (with my medical doctor's permission). This savings has really paid for the sessions.

I lost 25 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. In the past I could only stay on a diet about 1 month and then would start feeling deprived & depressed. With the Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic I have gone down a dress size. I bought a medium T-shirt on sale recently, thinking it would not fit, as I wore a large before. Yes, it did fit! This lias been the most effective weight-loss method for inc.

I highly recommend this method.

I have been through the Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic weight loss program, and I have lost 30lbs (see below!) It is now one year later, and I am still at my goal weight.

I find that every once in a while, I slip into my old habits,but by continuing to listen to the motivational CD's it eases me back on track.

I am now able to run 4 miles, which I do 3 times a week. I never thought I could do that.

I have lost 24 lbs. in eight weeks - feel better in health also feel better about myself.

I am going back to the YMCA in January. Plan to lose a lot more weight.

I am sleeping better at night. That was a problem for me - loss of sleep.

After four weeks into the weight-loss program, I find that I no longer have food cravings or require snacks between meals. Also, mealtime is governed more by the clock than hunger pangs.

Thus far, I have shed 8 lbs, even with some bad eating days during visits by family, which required regular meals.

After a stressful summer, I had put on 20 pounds. I had tried diet pills and exercise, but the weight wouldn't come off. In fact, I put on a few more pounds. I would get upset about something and to comfort myself, I would have a Dr. Pepper and a snickers bar. One day while driving to work, and I heard a commercial for Personal Motivation Hypnosis Clinic and thought.what do I have to lose?! I started in February and wondered how good it would work. Well, 20 pounds lighter, I feel so much happier that ALL of my old clothes fit and some are even too big!!!! I can happily say that I haven't had an ounce of chocolate or a Dr. Pepper (once a staple for me) since February and haven't had a craving since! This has been the best investment I have ever made.
