petecohen.tv Weight Loss Challenge 2009

Read about Annie's amazing weight loss success...


Hi there, and welcome to this special New Year Weight Loss Challenge 2009 that helps to celebrate the 20-year mark for me in my work; helping people get slimmer, fitter and healthier.

This challenge will run for six months, to July 2009. This is not only an optimum amount of time to lose a considerable amount of weight but, more importantly, to break the habits that will prevent your weight coming back on.

 

My Programme - petecohen.tv

My weight loss programme is not just about weight loss but also about getting stronger, fitter and healthier. It's also about you conquering the dieting trap so you no longer have unhealthy issues with food and your weight.

As you probably know, the main part of my programme is a 21-day series of video-coaching sessions. Yet the Challenge is for six months, so we strongly encourage you to go through the programme a least three of four times. There is so much material in the 21 days and you, like many others who have been through the programme numerous times, will find that you learn new things every time you go through it.

There are nine tools in the programme and after six months you might have used them all and perhaps even developed your own.

Over a hundred members started the programme at Day 1 together on the 5th of Jan, since then more and more new members are signing up every day and taking part.

REMEMBER, you can start whenever you want!
But it’s essential to start when:
 

  1. You are more than familiar with the programme
  2. When you know what tools you are going to use

Weighting for Summer

Hi there everyone.

I have come up with a new survey to find out about how people's weight affects their summer holidays.
http://www.petecohen.tv/go/weight-loss-questionnaire/

I would really appreciate you taking the short bit of time that it takes to fill it in. We will be colating the results at the end of the month and be sharing them with you all.

Please could you ask anyone you know who wants to lose weight, even if it's just a few pounds to fill in the questionnaire.
Thank you so much.
:)

 

Money Money Money

Does it make the world go round?
Is it the root of all evil?
Can it not buy you love?

One thing certainly is for sure: Too many of us are in debt!

Commercialism and consumerism have become the alters that we all kneel to and increasing personal debt is price we now pay. It is estimated that our personal debt is increasing by  £1 million every four minutes!

Such is our urge to spend on the latest gadgets, exotic holidays, ideal homes and those ‘must have’ shoes, thousands of us are looking at a debt sentence of 77 years before we’re back in the black.  According to research giants Mintel, UK consumer spending has hit the £1 trillion mark for the first time. From this evidence it would appear that we are happy living in debt, whilst toiling hard to pay off our mortgages, loans and credit cards. Yet the dramatic increase in personal bankruptcies and the high rise in those seeking counseling for debt suggests the contrary.

Let's examine your relationship to money and finances.

I'm not setting out to give you tips on how to reduce your debt or increase your income as there are numerous books and television programs dedicated to such issues. Instead I will focus on your attitudes towards money, wealth, debt and abundance. My aim is to facilitate a change in the way you think and feel about money. This shift in consciousness can help manifest a change in your actions, which in return will provide a change in your rewards.



M is for MONEY

I can’t take HIS money
I can’t print MY OWN money
I have to work for money, why don’t I just lay down and die?

Homer Simpson



Some people see money only as energy, it’s neither good nor bad, it is neutral. The economic world attributes a value to it and as a society we place a value upon it. As an energy it follows a path that we lay down for it, if we allow a flow it will create more, if we let the flow stagnate, then so does our financial health.

Without money the western world would not survive and so it follows that the more money you have the more choices you will have in life. Below I have listed some statements relating to money, read through them and note how many resonate with you.

How many of the following resonate with you?


•    A penny saved is a penny earned
•    Money only comes from hard work
•    Money doesn’t grow on trees
•    Save some for a rainy day
•    Money is the root of all evil
•    My parents were poor, and I will be poor
•    Money goes out faster than it comes in
•    Rich people are crooks
•    I will never get a good job
•    I will never make any money

If any rang true for you, they may well be getting the way of you reaching prosperity. REMEMBER: you only manifest in your life what you consciously think about and focus on.

Now your task is to question where those beliefs came from and why you still choose to hold on to them.
