Staying on track with your weight loss goals can be challenging with everything that you have going on in your life. Whether you are striving for more energy, better health, improved nutrition, or simply feeling better in your clothes, a nutrition accountability coach may be your guiding compass towards reaching your goals.
Understanding the Need for Accountability
Accountability is necessary in order for coaching to be successful. Having an external support system increases your chances of successfully reaching your goals. We all know that change is challenging, whether forming new habits, taking action, or reaching goals.
A coach offers the support, guidance, and motivation to make change more attainable. Without accountability, enthusiasm wanes, leading to abandoned goals. An accountability coach helps sustain motivation and build lasting habits.
Emma’s Story
After years of putting everyone else first, Emma* realized her health had taken a backseat. She struggled to find time for herself as a busy mother and successful entrepreneur. Feeling overwhelmed and out of shape, Emma sought help from an accountability coach. Based on their personality match and her specific goals, Sarah paired Emma with the best accountability coach for her, Victoria.
Victoria's support was unwavering. She helped Emma stay centered and focused on healthy wins despite the incredible disruptions and changes she was experiencing in her life. With enough encouragement, Emma maintained her momentum and exceeded her initial goals.
She became more motivated and realized she could work smarter to make nutrition and movement changes fit seamlessly into her life. Emma reflected, "I am so grateful I found Sarah and the wonderful Coach Victoria. With the Everfit app, it was like having an accountability coach near me constantly.”
What Is an Accountability Coach?
An accountability coach is a professional dedicated to helping you stay focused on your goals. They provide support, motivation, and practical strategies to ensure you follow through on your commitments. Accountability coaches specialize in guiding you through the changes and challenges of achieving long-term goals by focusing on short-term tasks.
Accountability coaches are particularly beneficial for weight loss, nutritional changes, and fitness routines. By working closely with you, they help you overcome obstacles, stay motivated, and make steady progress towards your objectives. An accountability coach acts as your partner in success, offering the structure and encouragement needed to turn your goals and dreams into reality.
The Requirements of Accountability Coaching
Strong with Sarah matched another client, Judy*, with our personal accountability coach, Britt. Judy had tried to lose the extra pounds many times but couldn’t find the motivation to do it alone. She found Strong with Sarah’s program a game-changer. These are the typical requirements of an accountability coach like Britt used to motivate Judy.
Identifying Obstacles
Britt helped the client recognize the hurdles preventing her from losing her last 15 pounds. She identified and addressed these obstacles, and worked with the client to develop strategies to overcome them.
Finding Motivation
Accountability coaches like Britt provide the encouragement and support needed to maintain motivation. This consistent support helps clients stay committed to their goals, even when faced with challenges.
Pinpointing Resistance to Change
Britt’s honesty and education allowed the client to understand where they resisted change. Britt and Judy talked through these challenges together, and Judy overcame their resistance by addressing these areas and making healthier choices.
Checking Progress
Regular check-ins and progress tracking were critical components of Britt’s coaching. By monitoring progress and making necessary adjustments with the Everfit app, the client stayed on course and achieved their weight loss goal.
Cultivating Discipline and Habits
Britt helped the client develop the discipline and healthy habits needed for lasting change. This structured guidance was essential in achieving and maintaining the client’s weight loss goals long-term.
Judy said, “Britt, my accountability coach, provided the support, encouragement, education and honesty every week that I needed to help me power through those last 15 pounds.”
