Hi All,
So we're on our 4th cycle now. I reduced the ASRB2 period for my wife to 3 days (except this last one I extended to 4 just to change what days it was playing for ease of use since 4+3 = 7 the days weren't going to vary).
I've continued to drop some weight. Not as rapidly now, I assume that means I'm approaching my ideal, which makes sense, since I was content with my weight where it was and now at least 2-3 lbs lighter average, I wouldn't want to lose more than another pound or two, max. I have noticed my physique changing in a (in my opinion) not favorable way, i.e. waist staying more or less the same (though it dropped a half inch or so) while everything else, chest, arms, etc. have also dropped some. I'm quite lean in arms and chest, so this tends to mean I lost some muscle mass (at least in my way of figuring). And who doesn't want to lose belly fat? Even a little makes you look better, if other things stay the same. I've just kind of shrunk in all dimensions...
I'm a clear success, then for the Appetite Suppressant...
Now my wife (for whom I purchased the sub) is having a different experience. Her weight, after about a month is only dropped maybe a pound or two, average. Her attitude is still good, it's enough for her to feel that it might be having an effect, though the trend had already begun downward before actually listening to the sub (TID?).
I'm wondering if breaking the rules a little might give her a little push? Like spinning a loop during the day while she's at her desk? Running 6 loops rather than 5, etc.? Shortening the ASRB2 definitely seems to have improved things noticeably.
She can be difficult to influence via suggestion. In some ways she responds quickly to suggestions on other things she is downright rigid (I've worked with her in hypnosis, that's how I have discovered this-- some hypnotic suggestions simply don't take, while others work right out of the box).
Thoughts, Shannon?

This am I had a new low, my wife's weight on the other hand had rebounded a bit (back up). I thought it had slowed down for me. I suppose, I may be eating a little less than when I was heavier, but not really noticing it. I have noticed I feel a good bit more 'flexible' when it comes to eating. Like when my wife says, "do you want this big piece or this one that's a little smaller..." I say, "surprise me" or "whichever". So maybe that is partially at least the effect of the sub. Now that I think of it, we had a birthday party for my son-in-law on Sunday at my house. He brought lots of good quality beer and pizza from a local brew-pub (now takeout only). I had two pieces of pizza and stopped, not cause I tried, nor because I was full. Then a little later I went back to try a third kind of pizza (he brought 5 kinds all sounded yummy to me) and took only a half piece. That was my main meal on Sunday. So maybe I'm easily influenced on the amounts that I eat. That is how I normally lose weight when I feel I've gotten too high. I just eat 80% of whatever I would normally eat. But that is conscious. This was completely unconscious. Should I chalk that up to the sub?
