Deciding that it is time to lose weight is an overwhelming task at best.  Knowing that you want to lose weight and taking action are two very different things.  So, now that you’ve decided, what happens next?  How do you know which professionals to have on your team?  Do you need a weight loss coach?  How do you decide which weight loss coach is the best for you?

The best thing is to know what you want and how you are willing to achieve it.  Set some goals for yourself.  Think about not only how much weight you want to lose, but also what are you willing to invest.  Be sure to consider the methods the coach will use.  Do they prefer health foods, a special diet, or prescription drugs?  How intense is their program?  What is their scheduling like?  Are they easy to reach, and do they return phone calls quickly?  How many times per week can you meet with them?  Is there any extra cost associated with extra visits?

You’re going to be spending a lot of time with your weight loss coach.  So, select a coach that is personable and fits well with your own personality.  Make sure that they are certified and are going to work towards your goals, not just promote their program.

Check into their success rate.  How long have they have been a weight loss coach?  What do their past clients have to say about them and the program they use?

Most diet centers and weight loss coaches will offer a free consultation.  So, interview each prospective coach.  Meet with them personally and make sure that you feel comfortable in the facility.  That way you can determine if they and their program will be a good fit for you.

Most of all once you select a weight loss coach be sure you follow their advice.  Stick to the plan that you choose and contact your coach if you’re struggling.  This will help to ensure that you are successful in achieving your weight loss goals.
