What Is The Point Of No Return Program?
Think About It As "The Opposite Of A Diet Pill." Here Is What We Mean:
By Jackie Wicks, PEERtrainer Co-Founder
It seems like we are a nation of professional dieters. Most people find that comment kind of funny- but it is true if you think about it.
We all know how to lose weight, yet we continually gain it back. We are experts at crash dieting to fit into a suit or dress for a wedding (pictures!!) Yet we cannot get to a place where we feel in permanent control.
PEERtrainer has built a program that is designed to both answer this question as well as solve this problem.
There are excellent ideas out there, in bits and pieces, all over the place. The problem is that there is so much conflicting information, as well as companies insisting that their way is the only approach.
How many times have you gone "on a diet" and found some success in the first weeks. Then you fell off and feeling frustrated and angry at yourself for "failing?"
How many times have you found an idea or approach that seems to really "work for you" but were gradually talked out of it by friends, family or co-workers in some way?
Our simple, yet radical idea, has been to put the great ideas all together, and then surround you with community support and interaction so you don't feel like you are isolated and alone.
The PEERtrainer Point Of No Return program teaches you the true fundamentals of permanent weight loss over a 12 week period.
We are seeing this resonate for people primarily because we approach the different challenges involved in losing weight as simply problems to solve. We see over and over that when people view problems from this perspective, they become less overwhelmed almost immediately.In a steady, step by step manner that helps you incorporate these "building blocks" over time.
In a way that respects the fact that you have limited time and energy.
Immerses you in a concept called "Diet Fusion" that breaks down the silos of advice and helps you identify the combination of approaches that will work for you.
In a way that understands that we are all really different, and that one size fits all approaches generally do not work. If they did, you would not still be reading this!
The reality, however, is that most people do not have the time and energy to put all the pieces together themselves. We also observe that most desperately want new information, new ideas and new approaches. You understand that you need to do new things to get a new result.
Yet we all possess the ability and desire to do things the right way.We all secretly want that "magic pill" or "magic bullet." We are naturally drawn to easy fixes.
Many of us, often at the advice of doctors we trust, take actual pills or other stop-gap solutions.
We are keenly aware that "magic pill" approaches often create short term gain, but longer term simply manufacture frustration and anger, that builds and embeds itself. Over time this destroys our sense that we can do anything differently.
And we all know that there are fundamentals and formulas at the root of any success in life.
Here is some of what you will learn over the 12 week period:
How to identify the specific foods that personally give you energy- not just the foods that people say are "good for you."
How to stop night eating, emotional eating and mindless eating in its tracks
How to master portion control
How to say no to a friend
How to create and sustain motivation- even if you're starting from scratch
How to keep others from sabotaging your food choices. You won't confuse "being polite" with making bad food choices any more.
How to set a weight loss goal that you not only want, but that you also completely EXPECT to happen. This is a key factor in success that most people skip over.
How to identify exactly where your self-sabotage triggers are so you get out of your own way.
How to eat out at restaurants without compromising your plan.
How to create a shopping list you can take to the grocery store so you're buying the foods you need for optimal energy and better results.
How to develop the patience and persistence necessary to get to your end goal. How to develop an exercise program that you love. No more looking at exercise as a chore or a bore. If you already work out, how to take your fitness to the next level. How to get out of your own way by letting your negative thinking and beliefs sabotage your efforts. How to be more optimistic about life and feel better about yourself. How to get into your best state so you have a tool that helps you make the right food choices- again and again. How to really orient your mind for the long haul so that this time truly is different.
We seek to literally take you to what we call the "Point Of No Return" - the point where you have developed the skills and confidence to feel like you can meet your goals or get back on track without any feeling of frustration.
There is a strong therapeutic element to this program, and the quality and depth of this program is such that it would be cost prohibitive for most people to get it in person and on their own. Because we deliver the program over the internet we are able to deliver the three months for $97.
But we don't allow you to pay the full amount until after you have completed the program. Our model is that we charge a nominal fee for the first full month--$1. We then split the remainder into three monthly payments. The last payment is not billed until after the program ends.
Right now close to 80% of people who start the first month decide to continue. This is the ultimate testimonial for the program. This page that you are reading describes the program. But this pricing approach allows the quality of the program to speak for itself.

Week 8 -Comprehensive Mindset Check In- Keeping You On Track
First off this week, we do a comprehensive mindset check in. In our experience, a lot of people start to lose their focus about 8 weeks into a new diet program, so we make sure you're still thinking in the right way to get the results you're after. Then we have an interview with Yoga expert Jill Miller. Jill teaches internationally, is the creator of several Yoga DVD's and instructional program, and her unique approach to Yoga, Yoga Tune-Up is taught at Equinox Health Clubs across the United States.

You'll also get Jill's illustrated guide of the two exercise series she recommends to everybody for overall health and wellness and enjoying it.
Week 9 -Relationships and Food- How To Prevent Others From Sabotaging Your Success
This week we tackle the subject that presents the greatest challenge for many people: how to keep their relationships (whether it's your husband, friends or parents) from sabotaging their healthy eating program.
This is a very empowering session will teach you how to comfortably and easily feel 100% in charge of your food choices. No more subtle sabotage from those around you.

"I really want to thank you and share my excitement. I started the 12 week program with you guys three weeks ago. I bought a scale (as I'd thrown mine out years ago, because I felt it caused more problems, vs. helped me). But I decided to get one and weigh in every Fri., because I am doing everything you guys suggest. I have lost 7# in the past two weeks!!!!!
I am in shock and very encouraged and VERY grateful to you both for your program, this amazing web site, and all the articles, access to unlimited support, and so much hopefulness!
Thank you SO much!"
-Karyn
"I thought this intensive would be all about "just lose the weight, what's the problem?" But it's so much more involved than that for me. Changing how I eat, one tweak at a time, realizing I am sleep-deprived too often and have to change that in order to cut hunger (from trying to get energy from food when I'm tired) and to stop drinking coffee, as well as to try to curb migraines. Exercising so much when I am sleep-deprived was not working for me. I am already feeling better, though. I realized that my real weak spot in the food department is dinner time. I even think the after-dinner time is okay, now. Dinner was always a huge thing when I was a kid, and it's embedded deeply that eating a lot or eating heavy things at dinner is important to feeling good. That's not true, so my job is to convince myself it's not true.
So thanks, Jackie and Joshua. This is turning into a wholistic experience for me. Great info, great coaching!"

"With only 10 pounds to lose, I wasn't sure the program was for me. I didn't think I could get much out of it, but I gave it a shot anyway. Thank goodness!! I've learned new tips and strategies that are helping me stay motivated, stay on track, and get where I want to be. And I love that the calls are weekly - - often enough to keep things in the forefront of my mind, but not so often that I'm overwhelmed with information or feel like it's a chore to keep up. These simple yet effective tools I've been given will stay with me the rest of my life."

"I have enjoyed this coaching program and appreciate all the good information in it... I have learned it is necessary to continually motivate myself throughout my fitness plan. I know I have passed the point of no return and I am enjoying exercising and working through challenging situations without resorting to mindless eating, overeating, or compulsive eating. If I do make a mistake, I can get right back on track.
The program has made a tremendous difference in my plan for success!"
-G.C., Chesapeake, VA
"I really loved week 2. It gave me a lot of hope. I think on a scale from 1 to 10 last week, I was a 1. This week I feel much more hopeful after the coaching session.
The fact that Joshua acknowledged the fact that the goal may be too large, made me realize that my goal was too large at this point. So I've brought my goals down to a manageable amount and now I feel more optimistic. Which means that he was successful in changing a person from being completely hopeless to being really hopeful.
It feels like you both care about the people listening to you and you both have an amazingly comfortable style. Really great talk! You were both amazing."
J.D., Washington, DC
"Thank you both for coming up with this idea. Having a program in place makes all the difference in the world - for the same reasons PEERtrainer is an important component to the weight loss journey - it holds you accountable, it reminds you on a regular basis that you have committed yourself to a goal, and it's just one more piece of evidence you can use in favour of your pro-active self and say, "Look! I'm DOING something about this (not just wishing that I was)."

"I really love that I can listen to the calls when it's convenient for me. I can also listen as many times as I want for reinforcement. It makes a huge difference."
C.K., Daytona Beach, FL
"I am really enjoying the coaching you're providing. It is a nicely sequenced breakdown of how to think about breaking destructive habits, etc that I haven't had in such incremental and understandable bits before."
-Recent Participant
"The coaching calls enhance my motivation as well. I appreciate every bit of information you and Joshua provide, it all works together to help me motivate myself. In the past, I would just give up because I did not know the proper way to lose weight and keep it off. Now, I know I will be successful, because I am learning these skills and they will last a lifetime. It is amazing to me that I just could not figure it out all those years, but I am glad that I am learning it now. My goal is to turn 60 and be at my most fit, healthiest, and happiest that I have ever been regardless of what the scale or mirror might show. But with that goal in mind, I am sure that the scale and mirror will show great results!"
