Experts will tell you losing weight isn't just about your body. It is also about your mind. In Omaha there's an innovative idea that is producing stunning results. Some people say they are using emotional exercise, to take off the pounds.
It is yoga, with a twist. A version called Hyp-Yoga that is helping people take off the pounds.
"Yoga is absolutely the reason I look the way I do," says Jen Krider. She is a true success story. In six months of using the program, she lost 76 pounds. And she is not the only person watching the weight fly off.
"I immediately lost ten pounds the first session, then five pounds the second session," says Pam Shrader.
Carly Cummings founded the program. "People think the problem is in their hips, but it's really in their head," she says. Cummings focuses her yoga program on the eating spurred by emotions and stress, using visualization and hypnosis.
The hypnosis part of Hyp-Yoga creates suggestions in your subconscious to help you curb cravings. That way, instead of reaching for that can of pop, you choose water.
"I've given up french fries and don't even crave them," says Shrader. "I gave up diet coke and don't even crave it."
The system is so successful, other studios are now adopting it. As people see results, they tell us it helps them make good choices more deliberately, and more consciously.
"The tradeoff is really easy for me now," says Jen Krider.
Cumings says, "You need to keep and sustain your weight loss and change your life pattern, so just being physical in class is great but you need to be able to take that off your mat and back into the rest of your life."
Anyone who has fought this battle knows the easier a program is to fit in your life, the greater your chances of sticking with it.
"They weren't unrealistic, they were easy to incorporate into every day living," says one student of the program. "For me this allows me to eat real food and live a real life."
The program leader tells us people typically lose ten to fifteen pounds in an eight week session.
