I had a miraculous weight loss experience 5 years ago. I worked with a massage therapist who specialized in biofeedback and pain management. I had weekly hour and a half massage, she used guided imagery, telling me to image a goal, and image people asking me amazed how i'd reached this goal in 3 months time. My goal was weight loss. My baby was 5, it was time to let that weight go. I know I don't want any more children so time to let go of that weight. At any rate, I lost 30-40 lbs in 3 months, and people stood amazed asking me how I did it...

I know massage isn't an option for many. I also know many people don't even like it, being massaged. But I have to say I swear by it for the reason of my weight loss back then.

Now I'm on lithium and up to possibly 180 lbs, I don't even dare step on the scale. I'm 5'7", and my goal is to lose 30-40 lbs again. I want to fit in my clothes, ya know? I haven't had extra money for about 3 years. But business is picking up and I'm getting more and more stable mentally, my children are more stable mentally, so I've been able to work more. I think I'm going to invest in the massage therapy again, I really hope the same lady still does it.
