Weight Loss Success Story - Jerry IsbellHello, my name is Jerry Isbell and I'm from Gahanna, Ohio. I fly airplanes for a living. It's a very good job for me but not a good job when you're trying to lose weight. When I graduated from high school I went into the United States Air force and worked for Uncle Sam for about four years. I was fit and trim when I came out in 1966. I gained weight until practically this year. When I got on the scales one day and saw over 200 lbs that was the day that I made the decision that something absolutely had to be done. I remember the first attempt at a diet was with a soup that we made at home. It actually tasted pretty good. I think it was cabbage soup or something like that. We went ... top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Brett PetroMy name is Brett Petro and I'm from Westerville Ohio and I am a business analyst. I was interested in losing weight for a long time and had been overweight for many years. I saw an advertisement in the local newspaper. I thought, why not, I need to try this. Everything else I've tried has not worked. I've been very impressed with the staff at Positive Changes. All the individuals that I've worked with, whether it be the office staff or my personal hypnotist have been very supportive, suggested how I could do a little better. I really think that they are looking out for me, my health and my well being. When I first started the program at Positive Changes I weighed 266 lbs. I currently weight 185 lbs. I've lost about 8 inches from ... top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Ben AddisonI'm Ben Addison from Columbus Ohio. I have an office job and in 7 months I've lost 55 lbs. I've gone from a 38 waist to a 33 waist and an XL shirt to a medium shirt that I'm wearing today. I've tried other plans including Atkins. I lost a lot of weight but the minute I stop following their plan I gained it all back and then some. With all my traveling for work I said I need to do something. I was tired of constantly riding in taxis rather than walking. I wasn't eating healthy. I would eat the buffets. I would eat the pastries. I would eat all of that processed stuff and it just wasn't good. ... top ^ |

Weight Loss Success Story - Scott & Lisa OlmsteadHi, my name is Lisa Olmstead and I'm 54 years old. Hi, I'm Scott Olmstead and I'm 57 years old. We came to Positive Changes because we wanted to make a difference in our lives. We felt we both needed to lose some weight. We knew a person before that was an avid smoke and smoked all his life that had been hypnotized and had stopped smoking. I came across an article in the newspaper that was for Positive Changes and I knew the success that this other person had and I thought that is something we should try. I went from a size 18 down to a size 6 and I weighted 175 lbs and I weight 124 lbs today. When I walked in the door I was a size 48 waist approaching fast the size 50 waist and I weighted 268 lbs and now I'm at 185 lbs. top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Sylvia HuelsmanHi, I'm Sylvia Huelsman and I'm over 60. I came to Positive Changes because I was tired of losing weight over and over again. What finally brought me here was we had a retirement party for someone I used to work with and we took a picture. When I looked at my picture I thought, oh my goodness, I need to do something drastic. So, I had tried all kinds of other things and I saw the ad for Positive Changes and I decided to give that a try. My background is in education and mental health and both of the things they do here made a lot of sense to me. We had classes. Nutrition classes were very helpful for me. The deep relaxation that we do helps to get what they are trying to teach you into your head. top ^ |

Weight Loss Success Story - Dallas LittleMy name is Dallas Little and I live in Seattle Washington. I am 34 and I am a Sous chef I first heard about Positive Changes on the radio. I was feeling stressed and run down all the time, weighing 430 1bs was taking a toll on me. I was embarrassed; being this big people always looked at me. Having to go on a plane and having to get the seat belt extension was very embarrassing for me. I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and that is when I came to Positive Changes. When I had my first visit with Positive Changes I set a goal to lose 100 lbs in the first year and the next 100 lbs in the second year. This is something my evaluator and I decided I could accomplish. I have lost 195 1bs in 7 months. It's only taken me 7 months to accomplish what I thought would take 2 years!! !!! My pant size has gone from a size 54 to a size 34, even my shoe size has gone from a 13 to a 12 and now the 12's are loose. top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Emily BradyHi, my name is Emily Brady and I'm from Waggaman, Louisiana. After giving birth to my third child, I became content with life. We frequently ate out. I ate when the kids ate and constantly snacked between meals. My complacency caused me to gain a staggering amount of weight in a short period of time. I tried to lose weight with an array of weight-loss fads and diets. I'd deprive myself and pray it would make a difference. It didn't. I'd end up binging on chocolate or snacks. Each time I'd gain back my weight faster than I lost it. top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Karen HaiglerMy name is Karen Haigler, and I live in Hampton, Virginia. I'd tried all kinds of diets, and nothing worked. I'd lose a pound and gain two. I started Positive Changes in December, which as everybody knows is the most difficult month to lose weight. I lost over 10 lbs. during the Christmas holidays and I still went to the parties. I was just amazed. It's nice to no longer feel like the fat mom sitting in the corner. I'm much happier! top ^ |
Weight Loss Success Story - Sonny WagnerMy name is Sonny Wagner, and I'm from Chesapeake, Virginia. I'd been overweight for 20 years. At 360 lbs., I'd reached a point of desperation. I'm amazed by how easy hypnosis made my weight loss, because I'd tried a multitude of diets that didn't work. I would initially lose weight, but always gained the weight back plus more. With Positive Changes, my weight came off at an average of 12 lbs. a month. I took off a total of 170 lbs.! Diets made me feel out of control, but hypnosis put me back in control. It helped me eliminate my food cravings and old eating habits. I know my weight loss will last. If I can do it, anyone can! top ^ |

Stop Smoking Success Story - Carolyn DanielMy name is Carolyn Daniel. I started smoking when I was 12 years old. I smoked at least a pack a day, sometimes more if my day was stressful. I spent years trapped by my smoking habit. Then I found Positive Changes and quit smoking in one day, with no cravings or withdrawal! I feel as if I'd never even been a smoker. The changes I've made are priceless. Positive Changes is the best investment I've made in years, and even if the program had cost twice as much, it would have been worth it. With the price of cigarettes, I will have paid for my program at Positive Changes and then I will be making money! top ^ |

Weight Loss Success Story - Sherrie WoodMy name is Sherrie Wood and I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am a retired realtor and a widow with a daughter and a granddaughter. I used to be overweight and stressed. I thought my dreams of weight loss were hopeless. Then I went to Positive Changes and lost 42 lbs.! I could barely squeeze into a tight size 20 but now I wear a slim 10. Even my feet lost weight. Best of all, I've kept my weight off. I feel vibrant. I know I'll never have a weight problem again, and it feels so good to be free of my weight. The fee for the program was reasonable—you'd pay more for diet pills you have to order again 30 days later. My doctor says I look wonderful. He even sent me a note saying how outstanding my health is. My blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is at an incredible level for my age. My doctor still marvels that, after 5 years, my weight hasn't come back. top ^ |

Fox 12 News - Positive Changes Hypnosis of BoiseLook into my eyes, well not exactly. Unlike those stereotypes hypnosis keeps you in control. And one woman we talked to said it changed her life because she now has a life. I would end up just sitting in front of the T.V. or lying in bed not wanting to get out of bed even some days. Kelly Moore has very few pictures of what she looked like for years. Five foot one and 210 lbs at her heaviest. Having a hard time breathing just doing minor things throughout the day. The Kelly you see here today is a healthy eater and an avid skier. I'm up to Bogus soon as my daughter leaves for school I'm heading up the mountains. PCH of Boise top ^ |
