Weight Loss Coaching

Coaches are taught that people can know what to do, but if there is no action then there is no forward movement.

I've been at fatsecret for a year and I've observed a few things.

1. The people who post continually and participate in more than one group + challenges are more likely to lose

2. People who log into fatsecret more than once a week are most likely to lose weight or at least, not gain more, than those who only log in once or twice a month.

3. Loging in appears to help people avoid cheating and keep on goal.

4. People who log in their food and exercise are most likely to succeed in the long-term. This may be due to the fact that they are less likely to quit.

So true - I am one who needs to start logging in my intake again. Once I was on Atkins and had no appetite and ate like 800 calories - which I know was not good, at it was the last time I had journaled and someone saw it like eight months later and messaged me and freaked out about my intake - not looking at the date! lol.

Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions about calorie intake. My doctor said that I was 'good' on 500 calories. I was eating about 6 - 8 cups of food a day. I ate healthy foods and no carbs. He said that my hair wasn't falling out, my nails were good. I had energy. He didn't suggest that I eat that low all the time, but he said my body would tell me when to increase the calories.

I do find journaling keeps me from eating less...

I just came back on to this site today and found your group. So, I'm a 'newbie'! I really like what you said about Coaching above.
Thanks!!

Hi everyone! Im new to the site and I hope it helps me to learn some self control. I dont have a support system and everyone around me seems to not care that I am putting forth the effort to become healthy. Cant wait to start seeing some progress.
