• Enables having your specific weight loss challenges worked on.
• Supports you in achieving your weight loss goals.
• Facilitates a community spirit and mutual support.
• Teaches basic EFT. No previous knowledge necessary.

Correcting the imbalance in the body’s electrical system is done by a pattern of tapping, rubbing, or holding different stress reduction points located on the face, upper body, and hands while focusing on a problem or negative emotion.

This process stimulates the energy around the meridian points causing a correction in the imbalance of the energy system and a simultaneous collapse of the negative emotion that the person is “tuned into” at the time.

EFT preparation Look at the short EFT video on this page (upper left) if you are new to EFT.

Keep notes Make a place to keep notes of the things on this list. This can be in your member page blog if you wish and here’s something cool: you can use the privacy settings so no one else can see what you write. You can keep notes in a diary or journal you already use or start one just for the purpose. (The privacy setting link for your blog is on the right side of your page, under welcome and your name.)

But please do make a special place to keep notes. In addition to the basics of your initial weight, measurements and goals, also record thoughts about yourself, your body, any EFT sentences which were very good for you and especially, any which really bothered you.

Weigh yourself Do a program initial weigh in, in the morning, preferably nude, after going to the bathroom. This is your lowest weight of the day. Record this, your starting weight. Try to use a scale you will be able to continue to use through out your weight loss since scales can differ quite a bit.

Don’t weigh yourself After your first weigh in only weigh your self weekly or less. Not at all is fine too if you see you are making some progress. It is very frustrating to watch your food intake carefully, exercise and see no change on the scale. Weight loss averages out over time. You will see loss from week to week, except when you hit a plateau as we virtually always do. Women also have hormonally driven weight fluctuations. Relax! It is going to come off!

Measure yourself Take these measurements and write them down:
neck
women: bust, at the largest part
women: chest just under bust
men: chest at largest part
waist
belly, the largest part
hips, where they are largest
upper arm circumference
wrist
thigh, at the largest part
knee
calf, at the widest part
ankle

Plan your eating program What are you going to eat to help yourself to lose weight? Get help with this if needed. Make food choices which suit your digestion and body type. Please DO NOT make changes which are too sudden or too extreme! Think about what you eat, in what combinations, what you drink, when you eat, how much you eat, how fast you eat and decide on changes where you need them. Write them down.

Plan your physical activity program Do you need to increase your physical activity? Weight loss without exercise gives skinny flab! Join a gym, find a class to take, dust off your exercise tapes, find a TV program to exercise to or make some other plans to begin to increase your physical activity. Mini trampoline is great for home use Make sure you start off gently if you are out of shape!

Get a physical exam Please go see your doctor before beginning this program for a general health exam, baseline blood chemistry, blood pressure check, etc. Tell them of your weight loss plans and ask when you should have your next check up.

Photographs Have new pictures taken of yourself. These are your before shots so do your face and your whole body from the front, back and side. If you have the nerve take swim suit shots as well.

Visualize your success Help your subconscious mind take you to your goal by visualizing your self at your goal weight. Use all your senses! See the image, feel the feelings, odors, the flavors and the sounds which go with reaching your goal!!

Very important: if, when you visualize yourself at your goal weight you feel ANY resistance, discomfort, concern or other negative feelings, including the thoughts “I can’t” or “I’ll never get there” write them down and SEND THEM TO ME by email or posting on my page. These are the resistances which we will release using EFT—and we can only work on what we recognize!

Choose goals Decide on your weight loss and body goals. In addition to a specific amount of weight loss you might want to reach certain measurements. What fat percentage do you want to have? You might also want certain abilities, like being able to run up a flight of stairs easily or reducing medications.

Evaluate your goals It is damaging to your body to lose weight too rapidly and damaging to your motivation to lose weight too slowly. It’s important to find a happy medium. The more weight you have to lose the greater your initial loss generally is, but after the first few weeks everyone should be losing no more than 2 pounds or 1 kilo a week for the heaviest individuals and more like a maximum of 1pound or 500 grams a week for most people. Remember, slower weight loss gives your skin time to shrink to fit your new shape!

If you want to lose 40 pounds or 18 kilos you can expect it to take you about a year. Now don’t get frustrated or upset about this!! If it bothers you to think of working on your weight for a year don’t! Just think of today and perhaps, this week. The time will pass anyway.

Commit to your goals Make a promise to yourself that this time you will stick with your program as long as is necessary to succeed. Let yourself focus on how good it will be to reach your goals and make a solemn commitment. Write down your promise to yourself in your blog, journal or diary.

Congratulate yourself! Isn’t it great we are making this plan and commitment? I am so happy you have decided to join me and am looking forward to my new body—and yours as well. Good for me! Good for you!! Good for us!!!
