Weight Loss Guru

 This a fantastic video with trainer Craig Ballantyne. It graphically shows that you can not out train a bad diet when it comes to losing weight.

 What do you think of this video? 

Today has been a FABULOUS DAY..... I went to town with my daughter and grandaughter and was delighted to see all the summer sales had started.... like all of us I do like a bargain..... and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DONKEYS YEARS I TRIED CLOTHES ON IN A CHANGING ROOM!!!!!!!! 

This is not a huge thing for most people but when I started  petecohen.tv on Day 1 i was hardly able to sqeeze myself into a very generous size 36!!!! I had to buy 2nd had clothes online, as nothing in the high street went anywere near me, and I spent most of my life in baggy nightshirts hardly able to leave the house as i was nearly 28 stone on a 5'3 frame, riddled with arthiritis and recovering from major cancer surgery too, so every day I was in so much pain i didnt know where to put myself!!! I would drive out at midnight to do banking in the nightsave so I didnt get the micky taken out of me, or crawl around a supermarket hanging over the trolly for support just to pick u a few essentials, but done all my shopping online...... So TODAY.... THIS WONDERFUL DAY...... I SHOPPED SOLID FOR 4 HOURS, DIDNT HAVE TO SIT DOWN ONCE....... I GOT INTO A SIZE 22 FROM BHS A SHOP I WOULD NEVER HAVE DREAMT OF EVER BUYING IN.... I CAME AWAY FROM ANN HARVEYS WITH 2 CARRIER BAGS FULL OF SIZE 22'S........... AND BRIGHT BRIGHT LOVELY SUMMER COLOURS, NOT THE BLACKS AND BROWNS FROM PRE petecohen.tv........

I stlll have a long way to go , I will be 5 stone lighter, by my birthday in February, and then i will be a size 16 which is the size that dreams were only made of before I joined Pete and his merry band of bloggers.

Today my daughter and grandaughter got tired before I did, and virtually dragged me back to the school screaming and shouting that i had more shopping to do !!!!

So if anyone is wobbling, or weebling or struggling take faith from this entry, and its simple as can be ....... dont just lose weight, become EXCEPTIONAL at losing weight, be as EXCEPTIONAL at losing weight as you are at loving your family and caring for them, or as you are in your relationship and loving your partner, or your work, apply that steely determination that nothing and no one will get in your way of being the best you can be....... and all your dreams will come true as mine are on a daily basis.

Thankyou Pete, my friend and hero, thankyou bloggers for always being there, This is the ONLY weight loss system you will ever have to do ever ever again.

Loads of love and a very happy size 22 Sue here in Norfolk

I really want to share something with you that is truly fascinating.

Please take some time to listen William Li as he presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases.

The crucial first and best step is  eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game. Many of society’s most devastating diseases -- cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, to name a few -- share a common denominator: faulty angiogenesis, the body’s growth of new capillary blood vessels.

William Li is the co-founded the Angiogenesis Foundation and in his own words;

"Imagine that one medical advancement held the promise to conquer cancer, perhaps within your lifetime … the potential to also end more than 70 of life's most threatening conditions, affecting one billion people worldwide. This is the promise of angiogenesis, the first medical revolution of the 21st century."

Every knows that there is global problem with obesity and this issues is proving to be a global disaster. 

I picked up a copy of the Daily Mail on Friday as the headline was "The Junk Food Generation". The article said;

"A shocking picture of the way children are gorging themselves on sweets, chocolates and snacks was revealed yesterday. They are getting fat almost twice as quickly as American youngsters as they eat double the amount of sugary and savoury treats."

More than one in three British children aged five to thirteen are already overweight or obese. This figure is predicted to soar to a rate of 2.1 per cent a year through to 2014, far higher than the 1.3 per cent annual rise expected for the United States. By 2014, some 38.6 per cent of the UK children - a total of 2.5 million will be to heavy. 

 This really suggests the British Governments efforts to turn back the tide of obesity are failing. This opens a huge debate on what should be done to change this situation.

I want to know your thoughts, feelings and opinions as to what should be done. Please watch the short film below about this problem and then let us know your comments.  

Please take 21:53 seconds to watch this film as it could save your life.

 Hi there 

I have posted a special film for you that I have just made from my trip to the Spanish City of Barcelona.

I really did see some great things and felt inspired by what I saw. The Spanish have a great way of living, they appreciate so much of what many of us we have forgotten, like eating good food and taking the time to talk to each. 

Please watch the film and make any comments you have. 

Many thanks
