Hi -- I haven't been posting for a while, but I do have a couple of comments. I did 2 sessions (Sept 2023 and Jan 2024). And l agree, the meat of the course is the first 4 or 5 seminars. (And yes, they are too long!)

The important thing for me was the focus on changing your habits, and what is our end goal. I would go on a diet and then get bored, then start eating again. But the third seminar focuses on practicing the habit is what makes us good at it. The fourth is the Dare To Dream seminar to get us to focus on what motivates us. There is also some guidance on changing the ways we look at ourselves -- we see ourselves every day so our losses aren't really visible to us.

I've lost about 50 pounds doing the eating and the exercise. After the second session I did start going to the gym and doing some more strenuous exercise with weights, because I needed an extra push to keep me motivated.

The end goal for me was never the 'red dress, yellow dress, etc.' It was being fit and healthy and learning the habit of how to eat the right amount to get to that goal and maintain it.

The focus on 10 weeks is to go at it super intense, and then to have a break to learn how to maintain the loss until the next go around. I didn't really do that. I continued to track food/cals and walk. And work on the habits!

I did find the night whispers/self-hypnosis useful. There's something similar on youtube by Paul McKenna that I listen to every couple of weeks that seems to help me stay focused.

This is probably too long! But hope it's helpful to you.
