How to Win Your Office’s Biggest Loser Challenge
I drive my girlfriend to work every Friday morning so that we can avoid traffic later in the day when going to our band practice. This morning, I heard something on the radio that gave me the idea for this post. They were discussing ways to win the “Biggest Loser” challenge at the office.
They discussed such things as how to bulk up so you weighed your max at the weigh-in, yet still be able to quickly lose those extra pounds. One guy proudly shared how he drank regular Pepsi instead of diet, ate generally fattening foods and laid around doing nothing before weighing in. One lady, one of the radio personalities on the show, shared her devious strategy: eating extra-salty foods the couple days before, then eating the physically heaviest stuff she could find on the morning of the weigh-in, combined with drinking a ton of water.
Apparently that strategy gained her an extra 8 or 9 pounds, which were quickly shed, being mostly water weight.
This time of year is–pardon the pun–big for challenges and contests like this. Who can lose the most weight? Who can quit smoking for the longest time? Who can stop procrastinating longest? Who can stick to their exercise plan for more than 3 weeks?
Who can keep their resolution the best and longest?
As a hypnotist, I have the real answer to all those questions. The way to truly keep your resolutions, the way to most easily win the office “Biggest Loser” challenge, is not to cheat, but to use hypnosis. Whether you use a real, live hypnotist or a good quality audio CD or mp3, hypnosis is the key.
Tom Nicoli, a hypnotist on the East Coast, once did a challenge on Dateline, if I remember right. They had one person assigned to him, one person doing a diet and another doing exercise. The challenge ran for a few months and at the end, they discovered that Tom Nicoli and his hypnotic approach made for the easiest and most effortless weight loss experience. The guy he was working with didn’t have to work hard, didn’t have to sacrifice and suffer and battle temptation. He just … lost weight.
He also kept it off the best.
I don’t have a weight loss CD or mp3 yet, but I will soon. In the meanwhile, you can call or email to schedule an appointment and free consultation for a live session. Also, you can check out some excellent audio products from Wendi Friesen and Cal Banyan.
Wouldn’t you rather truly win at keeping your resolutions than do some cheating to win a short term contest at work or school? If so, do consider hypnosis and take action now. It’s easy, it’s fun and works.
I’ve got to run now, but look for my next post where I’ll share some easy self-hypnotic techniques you can use to help with your resolutions in general.
EDIT: Tom Nicoli responded to my post in the comments below and pointed out that I’d neglected to link to him and his products after I mentioned the power of his program. He does a great job (as evidenced by the Dateline Challenge he took part in, with six people each trying a different diet or program; not the three I remembered), and has been rated as the best of the best by Shape magazine. Feel free to take a look at Tom Nicoli’s weight loss CDs and peruse his site.
Hi – Yes, I was the hypnotist on the Dateline NBC’s Ultimate Diet Challenge. It was done over 10 months. There were 6 people, each with a different approach to “dieting” such as Atkins, Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, etc. I was given a pastry chef to work with an as you wrote, he did very well and without the struggle the other’s went through. Read it all here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3841501/
I am curious as to why you mentioin Banyan, who doesn’t have hypnosis CDs and Wendi. Why not mention my hypnosis weight loss CDs, which were rated the best of the best in Shape magazine by Harvard Medical School hypnosis instructor Jean Fain? People in 35 countries have had great results with my audio programs.

Thank you for the comment and clarifying the details on the Dateline challenge, Tom. I was in a hurry when I wrote the post, as I needed to get out the door to pick my girlfriend up so we could get to band practice. I forgot what your website was at the time, or I would have included it; fortunately, you have taken care of that oversight in this comment.
As to why Wendi and Cal Banyan, I know Wendi personally, and she has a great program for losing weight; Cal has self-hypnosis CDs as well, but I couldn’t find his weight loss one in the short time I had, so I linked to his catalog instead.
Now that I’m back home and have the time, I’ll add the link to your program.

Knowing that I am in the company of most respected experts, I am throwing my hat in the ring because I have a program, packed with everything needed to come to our senses about exercise and weight control. I, like Tom Nicoli, know that Hypnotic CD’s are for sure the route to go. But imagine if you had a total program that included a Self-Hypnosis Audio CD, a Video DVD Activation Routine Program, plus a non-hypnotic CD that you would use ongoing. A program to catapult you into achieving your ideal body weight and shape … your ideal in your mind, body and spirit. Now that would pack a powerful punch to bring us to our senses about health, happiness and fitness! So I say it is time …Time to begin your “Mental Training for Effective Exercise & Weight Control.” – A program that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to your health and fitness.
This self-hypnosis, audio recording CD and DVD Activation Routine Program uses positive and powerful suggestions embedded throughout the CD that address your exercise and weight control needs. These same suggestions appear on the DVD in audio/visual format. This DVD is a Powerful Activation Routine Program that is designed to be used on a daily basis, in conjunction with the CD “Mental Training for Effective Exercise and Weight Control”. Listen to the CD daily. Allow yourself to settle down and settle into your most comfortable position, relaxing fully, so your subconscious mind can be appropriately opened to the messages you are about to experience. Then each time you view the video, you will activate all the positive and powerful messages contained in your self-hypnosis CD at a subconscious level. Watch the DVD while exercising for a more powerful impact. As a bonus, individuals may listen to the non-hypnotic CD while driving or exercising to reinforce the messages within.
There is no other Program of this kind at this time. This program includes daily Thought Meter tips to all who use it for reinforcement of their exercise and weight control goals. Listen to the CD daily. Allow yourself to settle down and settle into your most comfortable position, relaxing fully, so your subconscious mind can be appropriately opened to the messages you are about to experience. Then each time you view the video, you will activate all the positive and powerful messages contained in your self-hypnosis CD at a subconscious level. Watch the DVD while exercising for a more powerful impact. Hear and see excerpts of this program on http://www.theselfcenter.com. Then feel free to start your exercise and weight control program.
Mental Training for Effective Exercise and Weight Control…a knock-out of a program!
