CONSIDER, COMMIT, CONTINUE

CONSIDER, COMMIT, CONTINUE
I hope you are finding the information I am providing interesting and helpful. I believe that understanding more about the body and its attempts to regulate our energy balance (i.e weight and metabolism) makes it easier to understand the importance of our lifestyle and food choices. I hope you are seeing first-hand that traditional advice can be flawed and that working with your body means healthier choices are easier to make.

But, as I said, it is one thing knowing what you need to do, and another thing actually doing it! As women, we are genetically programmed to nurture - and that usually means putting the needs of others before our own.

That results in our own priorities coming last on the list - and when life is busy, the last things on the list don't ever get done.

So, I want to know how we can change that between us.

How can we turn the THINKING into DOING?

You may have provided answers to some of these questions already - in a live zoom or in the community, as well as before the course actually started. But, now that we are 10 weeks into this live coaching format, I'd be grateful if you could take the time to work through these structured questions to help your understanding, and mine, of how best to keep up the momentum!

I want to know if there is anything I can change to help you stay on track!
Please give your name for accountability. I'm not here to judge, just to help! Any feedback is important and I learn as much from your struggles as from your successes. I can then adapt the programme to help you overcome them.

ARE YOU GIVING THIS 100% COMMITMENT?
How high would you rate your actual level of commitment to the programme so far? Not how high you would like it to be, but how high it actually is! As I said, this is totally non-judgemental - I won't judge you and nor should you judge yourself! Be honest with yourself. We will look at possible reasons behind any struggles with commitment later.*

Live sessions vs recorded sessions
Have you attended all of the live sessions?*

Yes - every one.Most but not allA fewNone
Do you prefer live sessions to pre-recorded sessions or recordings of live sessions?*

Yes - I prefer to attend live sessionsI'm not bothered either way.I prefer recordings.
What is it about the live sessions that you like?
What is it about the recorded sessions that you prefer?
Sometimes missing a live session is totally unavoidable. Sometimes it isn't. What's your honest take on it?*

I only missed sessions due to totally unavoidable reasons where my needs were overshadowed by something far more urgent.I missed some sessions for relatively trivial reasons.I missed some sessions due to late notice of the session time.I don't like attending the live sessions. I find the group thing uncomfortable.Other
What can YOU do to improve your attendance and commitment in the live sessions?
What can I do to encourage attendance in the live sessions? Please tick any that you think may be useful.*

Give more notice of sessions.Stick to one time every week.Change times around.Improve content.Increase Q&A time at the end.Nothing as I would prefer not to have live sessions.Make them compulsory to a greater degree by restricting live recording access other than by request.Make them compulsory to a greater degree by another means that I have suggested below.Nothing - fine as it is.
Please expand on any answers and, if appropriate, add any suggestions for how I can improve the value of live sessions for you or to make you more accountable in terms of attending them.*
Have you watched all of the sessions I have provided, whether live, recordings of live sessions or pre-recorded sessions?*

Yes - every one.Some of them, but not all.
Why haven't you watched all of the sessions? Please tick any that apply.*

I haven't found the content relevant.I have been too busy.I have been ill.I have had other more urgent commitments.There is too much content to take in every week.Other
Please can you expand on your answer/s? Please think carefully through the barriers you have encountered - for your own benefit and so I can help you too, where appropriate.

If you haven't engaged much or at all in the group discussions, why not?*

Not really my thing.Too busy.I don't find it of much interest.I don't like the platform - too confusing or not engaging.Other
Please expand on your answers and give some suggestions for what, if anything, I could do to make it more useful for you. And what YOU need to do to get more value from the community support as well as give support to others.
Workbook and Nourish book
Not everyone is using the workbook regularly, and some aren't using it at all. Maybe I can use my time better to provide different resources? What are your thoughts?*

I haven't used it at all - not my thing.I haven't used it much, if at all, but think it's useful. I just need to make the time.It's a good idea but not quite what I need so I haven't used it much.I find it useful and am using it to guide me through the tasks each week and to record my progress.Other
I currently leave your workbook to you, so you can record whatever you like in it. Would you find it more useful if I were to check it and comment from time to time?*

Yes - it would keep me accountableNo - I would find that intrusive
Please expand on your answers to help me understand if this workbook is helpful for you or not.
Is the Nourish eating guide helpful? Is there anything I can do to make it more useful for you?

Are you finding the content each week too overwhelming or not enough?*

Too much contentJust rightNot enough
Please add any comments you have regarding the content of each session such as whether you would like further clarification, more resources or anything else that I can add to make the content more useful for your weight loss efforts.
I still have several more weeks of content that I want to work through but wonder if it may be too much to take in, given the time we have spent on CGMs, exercise and other content so far. Which of the following options would you find most helpful for your weight loss efforts?*

A. Spend some time on your own consolidating the content so far and then start again after Christmas with some new sessions i.e split the programme into two blocks.B. As option A but with some Q&A support sessions every couple of weeks and some zoom sessions on managing Christmas nutrition as well as continued community support.C. Continue with 2 or 3 more sessions then complete the last few modules after Christmas.D. Complete the final 6 sessions weekly to finish just before Christmas.
Any other thoughts?
Is there anything else that you need to do to fully commit to this programme and to get the most from it?*
Is there anything you would find helpful that I could add to make this programme more useful for you in terms of content, support, resources, accountability or more?*
Your commitments going forward
Do you genuinely want to lose weight and keep it off longterm?*

YesNo
Is this the right time to be tackling your weight?*

Yes. I've put it off for long enough and I am fully committed to this now.No, it's not a great time...but it never is. Now is as good a time as it will ever be as there is always a reason not to. So, I just need to make this a priority.No, it genuinely isn't the right time for me but I will take the information on board and commit properly when I am ready.
What commitments are you going to make to yourself*

I am going to attend all live sessions unless there is a very good reason that I can't.I will ensure I watch every session in the week it becomes available, even if I watch the recorded version.I will engage in the community chat, sharing my ups and downs and encouraging others.I will use the workbook to record my progress and to help me reflect every week.I will put time in my diary each week to focus on this programme and myself.Other
You've spent time considering your commitment to weight loss so far. Which of these best reflects your current thoughts?*

I'm feeling confident that things are changing and I'm excited to continue.I'm taking it slowly but steadily as I feel I am moving forward at a pace that is right for me.I have become a bit complacent but am now ready to get going again.I am struggling to move forward and need some help.I know I have other pressures at the moment and weight loss isn't my priority so I'll review the situation at a later date.
Well done. I hope you found it useful to recommit. Depending on the feelings of the majority, we will continue the course as planned, or have time to consolidate, or something in between!

But please keep an eye out for more live zoom sessions as I am keen to talk to everyone over the next few weeks to ensure everyone who needs support, gets it! Make sure you sign up!
