When I Was 9 Years Old My
Father Died Of A Heart Attack

It was the worst moment of my life. It devastated me, my mother and my 6 year old brother.

He was the center of our world.

Even at 9 years old.  I knew his weight, health and lifestyle were factors.

He was obese, a smoker and worked nonstop (he owned a muffler shop). 

I swore I'd never go down that path. 

10 years later. I was 50 pounds overweight. Binge drinking regularly. Eating out of control.  I felt terrible. 

It was around this time I remember looking in a mirror at myself. Thinking about my father and the path I was on. 

At that moment I made a commitment to myself...

I was NOT going to make my kids go through what I went through.
I had to make a change. 

And then something crazy happened.

I was at Babson College working on a Finance Degree. And they had a hypnotist perform. His name was Jerry Valley. 

I didn't know it then. But that hypnosis demonstration would lead to me become one of the top weight loss coaches in the world.

I saw with my own eyes how powerful hypnosis and the mind were.

I began studying everything about hypnosis and the mind I could find.

I quickly learned how to control my behaviors by "programming" my mind. 

With this new ability I began eating better. Stopped drinking. Started doing yoga. And dropped 50 pounds.


It was a complete "inside-out" transformation. All because I learned how to run my own mind.

I got certified as a Master Hypnotist and NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) Trainer and Yoga Instructor. Opened an office and began working with people.

My specialty was weight mastery. 

I tell you my story because I want you to know why your weight and health is so important to me. 

This isn't just about looking better. 

This is about life and death to me. 

It's about being there for the most important people in your life.  

Weight loss is boring


The truth is weight loss is boring. 

Becoming sexier. More confident. Younger looking. Is not. 

Make this about becoming the real you. 

Powerful. Successful. Admired. 

A role model. An example of what can be. 

People will listen to you and seek your advice.

You'll experience more pleasure than you have in years. 

You'll uncover strength you never knew existed. 

You'll have adventures you never dreamed possible. 

Life will be exciting. Life will be fun. 

You'll wake up motivated. Eager to see what the day will bring. 

You'll glide through your day. With grace and calm. 

You'll run towards challenges and overcome them quickly.

You'll exude a fierce resolve that people will look up too. 

People will be attracted to your youthful energy.

You'll have fun shopping for clothes. And love wearing them. 

You'll smile when you see yourself in pictures. 

You'll laugh more (and probably louder).

Your body will be strong.

You'll move comfortably and have stamina. 

You'll walk with your head held high. 

You'll be more attractive inside and out. 

You'll act younger than your age. 

You'll feel lighter. 

Life will become easier. 

You'll love looking at yourself in pictures. 

Your relationships will fill you with love.

Life will be what you always wanted it to be. 

You'll be happy. Full of joy. 

You will love your body. 

The Toughest Job In Weight Loss


While most in the industry are telling you WHAT to do.

I've been showing people HOW to get themselves to do it.

I've done over 3,000 private weight loss coaching calls.

Thousands of conversations about binges. Overeating. Bad choices. Lack of motivation. Shame. Guilt.

It doesn't take long to recognize the same problems showing up over and over.

I tried so many different strategies and approaches. Some worked. Most didn't.

But, eventually I found the ones that always seemed to make an impact. Regardless of the situation. And I built on those. 

Those solutions turned into a "system" that was getting my clients amazing results. Consistently.

Turns out you need 3 things to master your weight, once and for all...

  • The right mindset - how you habitually think and feel
  • The right meals - how you habitually eat
  • The right lifestyle - how you habitually live
  • Get these three things right and the extra weight falls off your body. For good.

    This approach is creating amazing results.

    There was only one problem. I wasn't able to reach enough people. My private coaching packages start at $5,000 and those who needed it the most, weren't getting it.

    That's why I started The Thrive Program.

    When you know what to do and can get yourself to do it consistently. You can control your weight.

    I will show you how in this program.

    There are no shortcuts. But there is a path. 

    You need a new approach.  

    One that will create different results. 

    This is NOT about weight loss. It's about weight mastery (and mastery takes time).

    Imagine if instead of just winging it with your weight loss. You actually made a strategic decision to commit a year to mastering the 3 areas that control your weight (mindset, meal planning and lifestyle) , once and for all

    Crazy I know. What’s crazier is I’ve never even seen a weight loss program that was a year. As far as I know this is the only one (might be why 70% of the population is overweight).

    Give yourself the time you need.

    Stop looking for shortcuts. Commit to doing the work.

    Master your weight and move on.

    Before You Decide To Join

    This isn’t for everyone. 

    So let me get all the potential sticking points out of the way up front. 

    If your main goal is to lose weight as fast as possible this isn't for you (you may like the HCG diet).

    This is a one year program. It's a long term, strategic solution to mastering your weight. 

    It's like college for weight mastery. 

    If you don’t enjoy learning, this isn't for you. Because you're going to be learning a lot. 

    There is a lot of material. You're going to have to commit 1-2 hours a week to watching the trainings and at least 15 minutes a day to get incredible results. 

    If you don't have the time to commit right now, do not join. Just like you wouldn't get good results in college if you couldn't make the classes or study. The same applies here.

    You may not lose weight right away. Or you may. This program is about permanent weight loss not instant weight loss. 

    You can’t be negative. If you join the program we’re going to be spending a lot of time together. You’re going to be frustrated and annoyed sometimes. Don’t take it out on me and the other members. Negativity is the fastest way to bring yourself and everyone else down. 

    You have to be solution oriented. I want you to come to me with your problems and challenges. But we’re going to focus exclusively on solving them. 

    The Fine Print

    You can quit any time you want. There are no refunds. There are no contracts.

    However I would strongly suggest you make a year long commitment right at the start. 

    Why?

    Because you’re going to have ups. But you’re also going to have downs. There is a good chance in the past when you have had downs you quit. You may find this is a recurring pattern for you. 

    It needs to change if you’re going to get the results you truly want. 

    Showing up when you don’t want to is the easiest and fastest way to break through to the next level. 

    Where will you be one year from now?

    Stop looking for shortcuts and quick fixes. Commit yourself to mastering this area of your life. 

    You can do this. 

    Imagine how incredible it would feel to be free of the weight. Not just physically. But mentally and emotionally as well. To not have to think about it ever again. 

    To look in the mirror and be excited to show off how good you look. 

    To have the energy to play with kids or grandkids.

    To have a comfortable body. 

    To feel proud of yourself. 

    You're going to learn how to think differently. 

    You're going to learn how to feel differently. 

    You're going to learn how to behave differently. 

    And your body is going to look different.

    This is your chance to do it different.

    Tracy Shares How She Got Into
    The Best Shape Of Her Life 

    Carol Finally Takes Control of Her Weight!

    Connie Dropped 18 pounds and Her Husband Reversed Type 2 Diabetes. 

    What problems were you hoping to solve when you ordered PYT? 

    "I had been at a sedentary desk job for several years, and my husband's health had drastically declined, so we no longer enjoyed our long bike rides or hiking, fishing, even walking at the lake. Stress was taking its toll on me. 

    As a result, I'd put on a good bit of weight that made me feel like my clothes were strangling me. I wanted to "resurface" to let my real self back out into the world. I wanted to show up as the confident, athletic, energized and happy person I was before I allowed circumstances overwhelm me."

    What attracted you to the PYT program?

    "I was attracted to the program's proclaimed benefits: To take control of my emotions and state-of-being by leveraging psychology, self-hypnosis and NLP to emerge as the person I envisioned myself to be."

    What part of PYT did you find most useful - at least at the start?

    "The First 5 LBS was a game-changer for me! Once I completed that, weight loss and controlling my food cravings became relatively easy, because I knew I had the power to shed excess weight."

    What specific feature(s) do you enjoy most about PYT?

    "I enjoy the easy steps of PYT that teach me how to control of my eating by feeling good about myself. I now have the ability to make healthy food choices, most of the time. I enjoy learning the mental tricks to keep me on track, the easy-to-understand reasoning behind my behaviors, the self-hypnosis patterns to use when needed, and the PYT focus on enjoying life."

    What results have you achieved through the program?

    "Actually, as I went through the program, it helped my husband, as well. Together we quickly learned to focus on enjoying tastier good-for-you foods and not craving salt, sugar and fat. He actually reversed his type 2 diabetes. I shed 18 pounds and am going to achieve my target weight before the end of 2019. My waist no longer curves out and my clothes fit more comfortably. Most importantly, I've learned to be aware of stress levels that can trigger cravings, enabling me to easily maintain a relaxed state of feeling good and more in control."

    What was your biggest hesitation about ordering?

    "I didn't hesitate. Once I reviewed the PYT approach and methodology, I knew it was the right program for me. It gave me the tools I needed to be in control and attain results."

    If your best friend was on the fence about joining, what would you tell them?

    "I would say, first off, that when you realize you're not where you want to be, DO something about it! Take care of yourself by signing up for PYT. The cost is minimal compared to potential psychological and medical costs of not changing your lifestyle. The PYT program is FUN, educational, supportive and puts you in charge. Come on in "you'll enjoy it!"

    “I’ve tried every diet program out there. The few times I got good results it didn’t last and I would be right back to my original weight. After working with Jim I have dropped over 70 pounds, but the amazing thing was how easy it was. It’s like it just happened automatically

    - Peter Putnam, Walpole, NH

    “I recently completed your Program Yourself Thin course, and I must say, I have had wonderful results so far. I have lost almost 40 lbs, and now walk more or less regularly 2X a day; walking about 8 miles a day in two sessions (on top of taking Jujitsu 2X/week, yoga and a strength and stretch class). Had you told me 3 months ago I would be doing all this on a regular basis (or even once in awhile), I would have told you you were NUTS. I have about 90 pounds to go to my goal weight, and can actually visualize myself finishing this .I have never been able to get all my ducks in a row for serious weight loss before this, and I am very pleased.

    - Tammy M

    “65 Pounds gone. This is how everyone is going to create the body they want. It makes so much sense. Just a few of the things I learned changed my entire life. Everyone should learn this stuff. It is amazing how much happier I am living the way I do now. I was at a point where I didn’t know what to do, I had tried all the diets and nothing was working. I feel like I’m free, I had never realized how much food was controlling my life. I am grateful to have found this course and taken action. Being thin is one of the most exciting adventures I’ve ever been on.”​

    -M Pellino, Montreal, Canada

    “I’m glad to finally see something real about weight loss. It’s been a long time coming and I hope you stick around for a long time to come.​

    -PJ, Columbus, Ohio

    “Amazing. 35 pounds in 3 months. The most success I’ve had ever, and the best part is that it was so easy. I’ve lost weight before, but it was always so stressful because I knew in the back of my mind that I wouldn’t be able to keep up the diet and that it wouldn’t last.This time it feels completely natural and automatic. I am literally a new person. I really do think, act, and respond like a thin person, which is amazing because I had been overweight since before I was a teenager. Your program made it so clear for me and I want you to know that it has changed my life.”

    - Anne, La Jolla, CA

    Jim, each week I learn something that makes it a little easier to ‘grow’ myself smaller! Thanks for the support!

    - Sharon, House Springs,MO

    “Jim, I writing to keep up my part of our bargain. “Program Yourself Thin” has changed my life by 40 pounds. And this is coming from a total skeptic. I got to admit I didn’t know if I believed at first, but I figured “what the hell, there’s a guarantee”, I’m so glad I did. Having this new body is great, but it is nothing compared to how I feel now. I used to be avoid going out because I felt no confidence, but now I just enjoy myself. It is so much better. And another thing that is so cool, is how people are always coming up to me and asking how I did it. The attention is really fun. Thank you, Jim”​

    Mark A, Portland, OR

    Thank you Jim for making this program. I’m happy to report that because of Program Yourself Thin I’ve never felt so much confidence in my body. I had trouble believing you at first that you could be fat and confident, but I could. And once I began feeling good about myself the weight came off easily and stayed off. 26 Pounds of it! Your approach to change is amazing because it’s so easy and it’s so effective.

    - Kathryn, Baker, ID

    Hi Jim, You couldn’t imagine what I’m learning from you – not only your weight loss course, which is excellent – but also in the area of customer satisfaction! I must say that letting go of my old habits and beliefs is a totally new experience for me. I used the Atkins diet to lose weight, and what i did was totally counter productive. Now i don’t even really like peanuts that much anymore. How’s that for a change. Damn, i even have problems calling my old habits ‘eating’ now, as the word now has a totally new meaning for me since i started using your program So, long story short, thank you thank you thank you thank you! And thank you again!​

    - Peter, Delft, Holland

    It’s not about the food, it’s about what’s going on in your head. Jim’s programs get at what it really takes to change. The audio programs are a great investment you can use over and over to help yourself get and stay on track for better health.​

    - Caryn, Arlington, VA

    Right away, your methods have helped me achieve greater relaxation and better sleep. I find myself wanting salads and fruit and vegetables more and more and junk food less and less. Thanks!​

    - L Houston, TX

    As one of your first clients I lost 45 lbs. that was three years ago. I can’t begin to tell you how much of a difference it has made in my life. Much gratitude.​

    -Janice, W. Sprfld, MA

    I have had so many a-ha moments from reading your e-zine! It always has helpful, practical ways to change the way I think about myself and food. Keep up the great work!​

    - Alisa, Grapevine, TX

    As someone who tried everything I can tell you first hand that this is by far the best approach there is to losign weight for good. You know the coolest part is that I didn’t lose a lot at first, but because of your course it didn’t matter, and I continued eating well. And I’m now 38 pounds lighter! And have stayed at the same weight for the last year. Thank you Jim.​

    - Teresa, Burlington, VT

    I’ve struggled my whole life with weight. And for the first time I can say that I feel in control, not in a stressful willpower way, but in a natural way. And with this new approach I’ve lost 23 pounds! Thank you, Jim, your program really works.​

    - Mike Grasso, SD

    The Program Yourself Thin course is really amazing and lives up to its promises. Having you, Jim, coaching and teaching weekly is really the key to success. Thanks so much and I look forward to continuing this process with you.

    - Angie, Keene, NH

    ​I’m down 17.5 pounds since I started your program. The ongoing support is very helpful. I don’t feel like I’m on a diet at all.

    - Will, BlueSprings, MO

    ​​You give great insight and blow the sensationalists out of the water. With your information and support and my effort I’ve lost 50 pounds to date. My goal is getting closer, Thanks.

    - Anthony, Edmonton, Canada
