Every year, I
gather 6-10 eager, intelligent folks together and take them step-by-step
through the layers of permanent weight loss, teaching what I learned
as I lost over 70 lbs.
New groups form
when 6-10 people have expressed interest. I rarely advertise these and
much of the time have a waiting list.
Weekly 75-minute teleconference calls for 10 months.
Convenient from anywhere!
All calls are recorded if you must miss one.
(Please read this
only if you are serious about losing weight
permanently
-
that's the only kind of weight loss I teach!)
Lose Weight the Catalyst Way -
Permanently!
"The best money I ever
spent..."
"The group
empowered me in ways I did not expect. It was worth every
minute of it. The best money I ever spent. You'll never be the
same afterwards." -- N.M.
Are you facing yet another year with struggle,guilt and
heartache over your weight? Does your scale haunt you?
Or do you ignore it while unconsciously knowing that's not serving
you well?
Leave the struggle behind and
get to the heart of the matter! Don't allow your goals to
slip further away with each
passing day!
Unfortunately, in our society, a few people are making a great
deal of money selling us a bill of goods about how to solve our
weight problem.
Think about it - never in history has there been more information
as readily available. The pharmaceutical weight loss
industry is proliferating products daily (actually many of the
products are the same, they simply distribute them with different
names to catch our attention again on a regular basis!).
Celebrities hawk diet books with a vengeance. There are more
diets out there than you can possible use.
And
yet, despite the huge database of knowledge and facts available to
us, the obesity rate grows each year.
They
sell diets, diet products, exercise equipment and gym memberships.
Not one of these is the answer to your weight problem. It
wasn't the key to my permanent weight loss of over 70 lbs!
Why
does the percentage of overweight people grow each year?
Clearly, we're looking in the wrong place!
The
elements of diet and exercise represent only a small part
of the environment that allows healthy weight to emerge. I
know, I struggled in the lose-gain mode for almost 30 years!
Now, you don't have to do that anymore. I've
designed the Catalyst Group Coaching for Permanent Weight Loss
program to address ALL OF YOU, the physical aspect, the mental
aspect, the emotional aspect and the spiritual.
*
discover your hidden blocks to weightloss.
* transform
your relationship with food.
* learn
the healthiest way to eat for your lifestyle.
* release
limiting beliefs like "it's hard" or "I can't seem to lose
weight."
* access the most powerful
in-depth program available!
I believe
anxiety, fear and shame around weight gets in the way of sustained
progress toward a weight loss goal. Often, weight becomes a
reason for not living your dreams, sharing your gifts, or
fulfilling your potential. I know this was true for me for a
long time. It shouldn't be so hard!
When I
finally decided to lose weight, I knew I didn't want to do
it over and over again. I wanted to do it for good!
After all, I had lost weight 15 or 20 times, only to have the
weight return. I knew there was something I didn't know.
I went on a quest for the real truth about weight loss. Not
only did I discover why no one tells us about permanent weight
loss, I learned very few people understand it at all.
In the past
eight years, I've educated doctors, bariatric surgeons,
psychiatrists, personal trainers, gym owners, nurses and
nutritionists about permanent weight loss: the science of it, the
mind of it, the heart and soul of it.
We're talking about permanent weight loss!
I've kept my 70
lb. weight loss off since the year 2000 (the medical community marks
permanent weight loss at 5 years)! It's the only type of
weight loss I'm interested in.
Solve the
underlying problem with the way you think and you no longer have
the same roadblocks in your way.
Learn to feed
yourself for fuel and energy, not for numbing feelings or for
unconscious stress relief.
"What a gift..."
"Love
you, the work you do and the magic you access.
What a gift your life was to you so that you could be the gift
that you are to us!
-- Kate
Jones
You have very few
full-length mirrors in your house and make it a point to
focus on yourself from the neck up.
You tell yourself 100
times a day that you have to do something about your weight
but you never do.
You feel sad, angry or
guilty when you think of the excess weight you carry.
You think of yourself as
"on" or "off" a diet at all times. When you're "on",
you feel deprived. When you're "off", you feel guilty
and "bad."
You love food.
Food makes you feel loved and cared for. You don't
think you could live without using it as a coping mechanism.
You tell yourself that
people should love you as you are, no matter how much you
weigh, but you don't love yourself.
You avoid social
occasions, making new friends, dating or intimate
relationships because of your weight.
Your weight is your
universal excuse for many things you are not accomplishing
in life.
You feel your excess
weight is attributable to circumstances around
you: an unhappy marriage, family difficulty, tragic
past occurrences, cruelty you have suffered, stress in the
workplace, etc.
You pretend your weight
doesn't bother you and often act defensive about it.
You never overeat in
public but do so secretly.
You binge eat when
emotions are too hard to handle. Sometimes, you binge
eat without knowing why.
Your weight makes you
feel unlovable or unworthy.
... and the best
one...
You diet over and
over but never keep the weight off.
You wouldn't hire a plumber to handle your legal work....
And yet, most people,
when they want help with weight loss, go to a personal trainer who
has never had to lose weight, a commercial weight loss program run
by a business person only interested in sales and income (who has
never had to lose weight), or a gym where they are more interested
in your contractual fees than whether you use the gym or not.
Studies have shown that
1% of people who lose weight (over 25
lbs.) keep the weight off.*
*University of Colorado's Weight Loss Registry.
Clearly, we're looking
in the wrong place!
I only measure
permanent weight loss (permanent weight loss is defined by the
medical profession as weight loss that is maintained for 5 years)
and my clients from 2001-2003 have a
65% maintenance rate!
That's incredible
news! In 2001, I was just beginning to develop my
program. I fully expect the rates to grow higher with each
passing year since I've developed and perfected my program through
the years.
Doesn't it make sense
to hire a plumber to do plumbing and an attorney to do legal work?
Why would you ever hire someone who had not lost weight
permanently to help you accomplish this mission, which has huge
impact on your health, well-being and happiness?
Being Part of a
Group
If you want to be
successful, you want to ally yourself with other
successful people. Over the years, I've perfected my group
approach to educate, stimulate and encourage you to end addictive
behavior with food and find a new way of living.
Each group is unique
and grows into a supportive entity with its own personality.
I've worked with
bariatric patients who want every possibility of keeping their
weight off (statistics now show over 50% of bypass surgery
patients regain their weight - with many more becoming cross
addicted to other forms of addictive behavior with alcohol, drugs,
sex, gambling, debting, etc.) Bariatric surgery or "stomach
stapling" clearly has not proven to be the answer either.
I've worked with people
who have never attempted weight loss before.
And, I've worked with
those who have struggled valiantly with their weight for 10, 20,
30 years.
You're not
alone! A group is a dynamic endeavor. You'll
feel the support from others and learn from their actions.
This is not, however, simply a support group where you unload your
"junk" – it's a learning and coaching environment
geared toward helping you see the mind games you play and rid
yourself of excuses, sabotage, negative thinking and poor
decision-making.
Nothing could be
easier or more convenient. Coaching takes place via
bridgeline conference call. You'll call a given number each
week and we'll all be linked for the duration of the coaching
session.
You can call from
anywhere (office, home, or while traveling) and you'll be amazed
at how you can really tune in to people when you don't have the
distractions of seeing them. You actually learn to listen
differently!
You can access a
recording of the call if you miss one, so you never have to worry
about missing program content. It is possible to do the
program remotely if the times don't work for your schedule!
You'll have homework
assignments from each call which you'll email to me.
This program has 45
segments - depending on holidays and my vacation schedule, it will
last between 10 and 11 months.
What You Get
Three Hours (Each Month) of Dynamic Programming with Pat
Each section of the program - Physical,
Mental, Emotional, Spiritual - takes you step by step
through the layers that hinder permanent weight loss.
You'll learn more about yourself than you ever thought
possible and you'll learn all the facts I learned as I lost
over 70 lbs.
(Value $7500)
Powerful Exercises, Forms and Worksheets
All worksheets and forms are perfect
for inclusion in a 3-ring binder. At the end of the
course, you have a personal record of your progress plus an
invaluable resource for the future.
(Value $375)
Two Hours (Each Month)
of Laser Coaching In Group Sessions
Each week, Pat will coach 1-2 group
members on specific topics where they are experiencing
difficulty or resistance. Invaluable for the coachee,
perhaps even more enlightening for those who witness the
power of coaching for their classmates.
(Value $3600)
mp3 Recordings of Each
Lesson
You never have to
worry about missing a group meeting. Easy access to
recordings keeps you up-to-date at all times and serves as
another valuable resource too! In fact, if you know
you can't attend every week, this course is perfect for you
because you can follow along remotely!)
(Value $1075)
Class Summaries and
Notes
After each class, you'll receive Call
Notes on that week's lessons. You
don't have to concentrate on taking notes - you'll receive
them via email right after the call!

"I truly feel like a
different person..."
"It
is hard to really document the changes in my life and in
myself since beginning to work with Pat. I truly feel like a
different person. Certainly I look different, and that is
important, but it is the way I feel about myself that is so
different." -- Megan Williamson
"...motivating, exciting
and inspiring..."
Pat Barone
is a unique and wonderful person that is making a difference
in a great many people's lives. Pat has developed a format
for coaching with people who are ready to tackle losing weight
for the last time. In other words, permanent weight loss.
I know anyone who decides to take advantage of this
opportunity will come out of the experience feeling better
about themselves. The groups are done on the phone so you do
not need to show up any place and if you are very busy and/or
travel a great deal you will not have to worry about missing a
call. You can call in from anywhere.
Pat helped
me to see my eating and weight loss from a completely
different perspective than ever before and I have been
successful in losing weight without feeling deprived or being
"on a diet." I participated in her year long group and found
it supportive, nurturing, positive, informative, motivational,
exciting, and inspiring. Each week I looked forward to our
group phone call because I knew I would leave with some great
gift from the universe.
If you are ready to look at how you can lose weight in a
supportive and positive way, I highly recommend that you take
a look at her offerings and join her group. -- Sharon
Schwartz

and
access....
* Accountability,
both from Pat and the group.
* Pat's countless
tips and tools - useful in thousands of situations!
* A source of
strength and motivation like you've never felt before.
Coaching is a powerful tool that could transform your health (and
your future!) quicker than you imagine. What's more,
coaching addresses all of you, so clients often see magical
transformation in other areas of their lives while they work on
their weight.
"I knew I wanted to work
with you!"
"I saw you talking
on "Live at Five" on TV and you hooked me immediately. I knew
I wanted to work with you! I can't believe the changes I've
made... things that seemed so hard for so many years get
really clear when we work together. I'm so grateful for the
changes I've made and for the group." -- D.G.
Do It Now!
I'll tell you from experience, NO ONE IS COMING to do this
job for you.
I
wish that wasn't true - we'd all like to be rescued and whisked
away from the pain we experience - but I often tell my clients:
"I wish I could lose weight
for you,
because I know how and I'm
good at it!
But you have to do the work, that's just how it
works. As you begin to make the deeper changes, you'll see
the perfection and beauty in why life is set up this way.
It's all about learning and we have to do the work of learning
before we can move beyond fat permanently.
The trick is to get out of DENIAL now - forget the promise of some
herb from the Andes, or a pill from the pharmaceutical industry,
or the childhood fairy tale of "WHOOOOOSH! You're skinny!" that we
all hope for every day.
It's a little embarrassing to
admit, but I used to wish I was Samantha on "Bewitched"
and I could twitch my nose and be thin! I spent many a
teenage year wanting this!
Well, we all know it ain't
happening that way, baby!
Fat is there for a reason. Together, you and
I, along with your magnificent group members, will figure out why.
It'll be different for each and every one of you who joins the
group.
You know what you get with one-size-fits-all programs!
One size that DOESN'T fit
you!
One of Pat's size 22 dresses (worn in training session with
stuffing to fill it out).
Think of one-size clothing - haven't we all worn gigantic
tent-like muu-muus before? Ever feel good doing it?
The key is to take the first step!
"I wish I had found it
years ago..."
"I see now
that I dieted for years in vain. I didn't need to change the
food I ate, I needed to change ME. And I have, with the help
of the group. I'll always remember the warmth and caring we
developed as we worked our way through this really thoughtful
and gutsy program! I wish I had found it years ago." --
J.A.
Set the stage for long-term
success - the program lasts 45 sessions, or between 10 and 11
months.
Permanent change and weight loss takes time to develop.
We'll meet weekly except for an occasional week off for scheduling
conflicts or holidays, and, by the end of the year, you will be in
the position to coach yourself through the tough spots.
Your complete commitment.
This is not a time to kick tires and wonder what driving the car
will be like. Or to hold back and pretend you're doing the
work. You need to jump in and be willing. If you do
that, I guarantee you'll be successful. The program is that
powerful!
Accept safety. You are
safe with me and the other group members. We all want
success for everyone. I've coached thousands of people
towards permanent weight loss and I will help you take the risk of
being on the vulnerable road that leads to change that lasts!
Do the work. Come to
every call or listen to the recording of calls you miss. Do
your homework. Occasionally, there will be weeks off to
accommodate my schedule and that's an excellent opportunity to
catch up if you fall behind.
Don't be shy - participate.
Everyone will have the opportunity to be coached in the classes.
Take advantage and volunteer. (Otherwise, I will call on you
for coaching!) Don't be shy, it doesn't pay!
If you need help, ask for it!
Maybe you need some clarification, some support from the group or
a little one-on-one coaching. Just ask and you'll get the
help you need!
"I changed..."
"I changed my weight. I changed my
attitude. I changed my life!" --
S.O.
What
are we really talking about?
Awesome, proven material!
Examples: methods for quickly
identifying and accessing your emotions so you don't eat
unconsciously over them and the mental thought patterns that
lead to negative use of food!
The guidance of a
master-level coach who's been there and done it!
Beyond that, I'm a certified personal trainer, certified
weight management consultant (food programming), and trained
in addiction coaching. I've also taken every
college-level nutrition course I can find and done extensive
research into what makes permanent weight loss happen.
Massive accountability!
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
(These group endeavors take lots of time and coordination -
as my schedule proliferates, who knows how long I'll be able
to do them, or keep the prices this low!)
Connection to a group of like-minded,
wonderful people who will support you.
Materials, forms and systems you can
use for the rest of your life!
"Focus on food and you get
more food..."
"Pat, I loved it
when you said, 'Focus on food and you get more food.' I've
been doing that my whole life! No wonder I didn't get anywhere
on all those fad diets. Thank you so much for pointing me in a
healthier direction." -- L.P.
This program isn't for
everyone! You must apply and be accepted. I need to
know you're ready and willing to take this big step towards health
and happiness!
You're not open and willing to learn a
different way of living with food.
You plan to hold onto the past for the
rest of your life.
You aren't serious about losing the fat
for good.
You prefer to blame others for your
problems.
You are not willing to spend some time
on yourself.
You don't care about your health or the
quality of your life as you get older.
You like living in a painful
co-existence with food, your body and your self.
You want to hold onto diet mentality,
and beat yourself up because it doesn't work.
Furthermore, you want to continue doing this for the rest of
your life
This program is PERFECT for you if...
You are ready to take a chance on
yourself.
You know you're the only one who can do
this.
You want to be held accountable and are
willing to learn from a professional expert.
You understand you are a unique person
and your future relationship with food will be unique.
You crave peace.
You're willing to let go of comparison
and judgment about your weight. (It's not helping
anyway!) It's not about Oprah's path; it's about
yours!
You can support other members in the
group.
You want ease with your body.
Energy, vitality, and excitement about
your life sound great to you!
You know you weren't meant to live life
fat and you can honor that intuition.
Here's your opportunity....
It's decision time! You can get serious
and make this year your best ever, or you can deny,
procrastinate, and reason yourself into doing nothing for another
year. You can continue to go it alone and get mediocre
results or you can access a proven program and my help and get
this done!
"I crushed... the old
negative mental blocks..."
"If I had known
what was possible, with so little deprivation and pain, I'd
have done your class a long time ago Pat. My mind had
made losing weight into a HUGE thing because I'd failed so
many times. You helped me see I hadn't failed, my
methods had. I also crushed, absolutely crushed, the
old negative mental blocks that held me stuck so long.
Thank you for this fabulous program!" -- K.E.
Why You Won't Pay Me
Even Close
to What this Class
is Worth
I started Catalyst Coaching in
the year 2000. Since then, I've coached over 3000 hours with
high profile clients - CEOs, celebrities, actresses and business
leaders. My rates have steadily grown but I realize, as my
private clientele grows, I have less and less time. Yet, one
of my missions is to reach more and more people with the truth
about permanent weight loss.
This group program is an answer
to that dilemma for me. It's a chance for you to access my
experience and talents at a fraction of the cost I charge for
one-on-one coaching.
Make no mistake! We are
talking about your health and your future.
What price would you put on
that? What would you pay for an extra 5, 10, 15 or 20 years
of life? What would it cost to have a better quality
of life for the rest of your life?
Super value pricing!
Cost for the "Catalyst Group Coaching for Permanent
Weight Loss" program is $250 per month if automatically billed for
10 months. The first and last month's fees are charged upon
registration and months 2-9 are automatically charged on the 25th
of the month for each upcoming month. (Example: your
credit card will be automatically charged on Aug. 25 for
September's fees.) You'll also have the expense of your
call, which will be long distance.
This is a savings of more than 75% over
individual coaching rates! If you've always wanted a coach
but have felt you couldn't afford it, this is a tremendous
opportunity for you to work with one of the nation's leaders in
weight loss coaching at truly affordable rates.
Time may be a seductive lover,
but it's not your friend!
Sign up today!
What's your "latte factor"?
We all make excuses when it comes to spending money on
ourselves but many past participants find they save enough money
when they stop using excess food and "reward eating", they easily
pay for the course.
The average "latte factor" is $75 a month! Throw in a
couple restaurant meals and some fast food and you've easily got
$150-200 you didn't have before.
So, funnel that mindless spending into an educational
experience that will last you a lifetime!
Get a new perspective with the help of a professional
weightloss coach who can get you into action. Learn why you
don't have to settle for a number on your scale that doesn't
reflect who you really are!
What are you waiting for?
Do something truly positive for
yourself today!
Want an even better price?
By paying
in 10 monthly payments, the group will cost you $2500, far less
than programs at many spas, wellness centers and "fat farms."
These institutions often charge $7995 for programs that last 3
months, offer far less material and utilize teachers who have
never lost weight permanently!
To give you
further reward for your commitment, you can pay for your entire
group coaching experience in advance, and
save over $600! You'll
pay only $1895!
You may be able to save
further by using your Health Flex Account or taking a
tax deduction if you deduct medical expenses.
Your physician will need to write a prescription directing
you to access a program to aid weight loss. Every
individual's situation is different, so check with your
accountant or Flex Spending Account coordinator regarding
this.
