 Well Done Jane! You have won the PCTV Member of the Month award for August

Jane is a very worthy winner as she has embraced PCTV and got so much out of it. I have been apart of her journey since she joined back in December 08. She has written a 191 journal entries and has offered so much care and support for others.In her own words;

"Pete's programme has given me the self confidence to carry on to a healthy and fit future. I have found a new respect for myself and would recommend this programme to everyone who wants to be slim, fit and healthy"

Her weight loss is obvoiusly fantastic but what I most admire about Jane is that she struggled in the begining but never gave up. She wobbled but didn't fall down and she is living proof that if we want something enough we can achieve it. I am very proud of Jane and what she has achieved. She is an inspiration to us all.

 Live online course with Pete

NEXT 8-WEEK LIVE ONLINE WITH PETE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 09!

Now it’s possible to go one step further and for you to be coached in person, by me, over the internet in real time!

Technological advancements now make this possible and anyone with a broadband Internet connection and a browser can log onto the Internet and take part in my LIVE eight week weight loss coaching programme.

Next year these courses will cost £250. But for only £100, you can join me on the first of these courses, starting on:

Tuesday 29th September at 8.pm

In terms of getting set up, all you’ll need is a Web Cam so that you can be part of the experience. If you haven’t got one, you’ll need to get one. They are easy to find and you can pick one up fairly cheaply. The software we will be using will allow you to ask questions in real time and will let me respond to these during the session.

As many of you know, I have run weight loss groups for years and helped many people get slimmer, fitter and healthier.

I loved doing these but they were always limited to people who lived near venues and were inaccessible to people from different parts of the country and world.

This is why I developed petecohen.tv – as it was the next best thing. It continues to be such a joy for me to be a part of people’s continued success.

Our new service

In January we will be launching a new PCTV programme where we will be running eight-week courses on-line for a select number of people. These courses will run in real time and will deliver a personal touch by offering group coaching. 
  
These courses will cost £250. We do, however, have a one time only exclusive offer for you. For just £100, you can join me on the first of these courses, starting on Tuesday 29th September at 8.pm. This offer is only available until the end of August, so sign up soon. This will be a larger group and will run for one hour each week for eight weeks. It will start the week after the Exceptional Weight Loss Athlete Challenge finishes.

What will you get out of this?

It’s a great opportunity to be coached by me in person and for you to receive a real personal touch. It’s a great chance for your specific needs to be addressed and resolved over the 8 weeks. There will be a focus on breaking the habits that have held you back and helping you create ones that not only help you lose weight but, more importantly, keep it off.
 
There will also be new tools and techniques for you to use as well as opportunities for you to get to know others and develop a stronger supportive network.

What do I need?

Hardware (audio)

If you don't have an inbuilt microphone on your computer then you might want to consider getting a headset to ensure a better quality experience.  USB sets provide the best audio quality (especially Plantronics and Logitech). We recommend USB headsets rather than analogue as they can interfere with sound cards but also have 2 jacks which can cause confusion for end users. Whilst a good quality headset is recommended there are other things that can be adjusted to ensure their full performance. You can pick any of these up fairly cheaply. 
 

Hardware (Video)

If you don't have an inbuilt camera on your computer then we suggest a web camera.

Hi everyone

Hi everyone

I have a great pod-cast for you to listen to. Here I am interviewing World Number One Snooker player, Ronnie O'Sullivan.

I spent two years working with Ronnie and it was some of the most rewarding work I have done to date. Ronnie is nicknamed "The Rocket" due to his rapid playing style. He has been world champion on three occasions and is considered by many fans, critics and fellow professionals as the most naturally talented player in the history of the game.

In this interview we discuss Ronnie's approach to health fitness and weight loss and also discuss the components it takes to be successful and a winner in what ever you do.

Please let us know what you think of this pod-cast and if you find it useful. I will personally pass on any comment to Ronnie

PLEASE SEND THIS ON TO A FRIEND:

Take care,

Hi everyone

Let me please ask you a question, “What do you think you could achieve in six weeks? Is it possible that you could break some habits and become even healthier, fitter and slimmer?”

Petecohen.tv has gone from strength to strength and we now have more and more success stories and a great community of bloggers who are all positively supporting each other.

I know that people can achieve so much in this time frame and are likely to do it, if they do it with others, and are supported along the way.

What this will involve is getting as many people to start the programme from day one on Monday 15th of June and to go through the 21 days twice. I would encourage you to blog as much as you can using your on-line journal, as you allow yourself to support and be supported by others.

For more details listen to this short pod-cast below

Lets make this Summer special, where we are all feel better about ourselves, have more energy and look great. I personally dare you to do this, whether you’ve never completed the whole programme or you’ve been through it lots of time. Even if you don’t want to follow the 21 days, you could still decide some tools to use and just go for it.

So the question is, "Are you up for it?"

If you are and you are not already a member of petecohen.tv then click here to visit the site and sign up. If you are member just activate your calendar to start on the Monday the 15th of June. 

Take care and lets all have a go

Pete

Hi everyone,

I have a very special pod-cast for you to listen to. In this one I interview psychotherapist, Richard Curen. Richard is someone I know very well as he is my brother.

We discuss the complex subject of human behaviour and look to shed some light on why we think, feel and act in certain ways. We talk about  how we are not set in stone and how we can break habits and patterns and  change for the better.

Richard is the director of Respond, a national charity working with people with learning difficulties who are the victims or perpetrators of abuse. To find out more about the charity click here.

If you find this pod-cast useful then please make some comments below and I will pass them on to Richard.

Take good care 

Pete

Hi there

The member of the month this month is Sue. She has been on the programme since June 2008 and her journey is all  inspiring. 

She has provided loads of support and motivation to others and has written over 160 blog entries! You can see and read these for yourself here:  http://weightlossjournals.petecohen.tv/index.cfm/Suefromcoast

Sue has lost  5 and a half stone, and a total of 48 inches from her bust waist and hips, and dropped 4 dress sizes. Sue still wants to lose a considerable amount of weight and I am sure this is will happen. Her weight loss is only one part of what she has achieved and I have included some extracts from one of her most recent blog entries for you to see just how far she has come.

What has this programme meant to me?
Date: 12 May 2009
By: Suefromcoast

Today I was thinking how my life has changed in the 10 months since i joined this programme. For newcomers to the programme if you look back on my first entries you will see the serious state i was in, and the problems i had to even get to Petes seminar in the first place, but i was driven to go , and my word am i so glad i did !!! as i was virtually housebound, crippled by arthritis, weight and surgery pain, and my self esteem and selfworth was so low i had difficulty dragging my almost 28 stone body out of bed every day!!!

Firstly and most importantly i can say hand on heart I have not had one binge, when i was binging uncontrollably sometimes several times daily right up untill I started the programme, I now like me, I now believe i am worth being nice to, i believe I deserve a better life and I have found patience to know it will take me a while, but i didnt get to that size overnight, so i am happy with my 2-3lb loss weekly, where before if i didnt loose half a stone i would get fed up and binge for england.

i was working in a stressful business, fromhome by phone as i am not able to do a physical job, but i had 2 successful businesses..... working day and night to provide financial help for my family...... i didnt need to do that to feel loved, they love me dearly and wanted me to take life easier, this programme has given me that confidence to sell 1 business, and i love this easier lifestyle.

I have the confidence to go out and do much more, I now cope when people stare and snigger and point, i just imagine Pete and all my online friends with me and i hold my head up and smile!!!

My grandson has lost almost 3 stone, his amazing transformation has been well written about, but its all thanks to petecohen.tv as i raved on so much he couldnt help but listen and take notice !!! Thankgod he did, as he is incredible and so happy now.

I have made several lifelong friends from the bloggers who were there for me in the beginning, i talk to them weekly and i know we will always be intouch.

I have never once been lonely since joining petecohen.tv.... i have been known to blogg at 3am and how great to know you can log on 24/7 and be amongst friends who all understand.

i have been able to come to terms with the traumatic cancer journey i went on, i kept it all in for 3 years , and this amazing programme and you amazing bloggers has allowed me to express those feelings and get rid of them.
I booked a limo to take my blogging friends around london when we attended last octobers seminar..... it was a suprise, their faces will stay with me and we all have those memories.

I dont go through life apologising for who i am anymore.... you amazing bloggers have always made me feel so special, and Pete, well Pete is one of lifes heros, he has always been there for me, from my first day right the way through till now... you dont meet many really really special people in a lifetime, but Pete is definately one and i thank god so much his amazing team who encouraged me to make that journey to see Pete live.

This programme is so much more than about weightloss, its about life changing processes that help us find who we should be, after stumbling from one diet disaster and self destructive behaviour issue to another, Its taken me to 57 years of age to be happy with who i am today.... that journey i made to see Pete in London was the hardest but the best journey of my life.

Thankyou Pete and thankyou all you amazing people
Sue xxxx
