    Has anyone ever tried hypnosis for weight loss or motivation?

      I did but all I was left with was an incredible urge to *kitten* whenever I heard a car horn honk.

      From mayoclinic.org:
      Weight loss is usually best achieved with diet and exercise. If you've tried diet and exercise but are still struggling to meet your weight-loss goal, talk to your health care provider about other options or lifestyle changes that you can make. Don't rely on weight-loss hypnosis alone because it's unlikely to lead to significant weight loss.

      http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/expert-answers/weight-loss-hypnosis/faq-20058291

      It is unlikely to have any real effect on weight loss, and any effect that it may have is probably a placebo. I would save my money and skip the hypnosis and just log all of my food on MFP and eat at a deficit.

      I would never spend money on hypnosis..
      However my cousin in law started hypnosis about three or four years ago and has been at maintenance. She lost ~150lb. She looks great, but even in maintenance she is not allowed certain things still...I also do not know all of what she did in addition to hypnosis... For me, though, I like being able to enjoy anything as long as it fits my calories! :)

      Thanks, I was having problems with motivation and thought it was an option but I think I'll save my money. I've had a great week and been really motivated so hopefully I can just continue on that track
