How much would you pay for a weight loss coach

That’s great! Is there a certain technique used such as CBT?

No, just setting macro targets based on planned activity level for each day and providing feedback on food quality. The onus is on me to track what I eat but paying someone and regularly meeting with them holds me accountable.

Thanks!

Is that you OP? If you are trying to think about how to market your skills as a weight loss coach you need to think more about your approach, the type of coaching you are offering, what is your added value. The description above doesn’t really make sense. Being successfully thinner is not a credential to help others, and I don’t see what “related to a professional crowd “ brings.

So, can you tell us more about what would make you a good coach? And if I am wrong and you are seriously asking about hiring that coach, you need to tell us more about why

These are good points. Yes - a coach should have particular skills and perspectives. I tried a program once with a coach and I had a feeling that she had never been overweight herself - didn’t “get me”. I don’t think she understood the demands of my life either and what led me to overeat.

Do pay $500 for 13 week program for the accountability. I don’t do well on my own because I just don’t hold myself accountable. It’s been worth it for me

It would depend on their credentials and what you are getting out of it.

I paid $200/month for an online trainer/coach

She has worked with hundred of clients over the years and had a good record of success. She was a certified personal trainer and trained in counseling.
She gave me nutrition guidance and wrote monthly personalized workout/strength training plans for me.

I think another big benefit to hiring a coach that is often overlooked is the accountability aspect. People tend to stick to a plan better when they have someone to report to.

I would pay this. I need the accountability and motivation.

$7800 a year to talk with someone once a week? How long is each call?

I’d hire a chef or get weekly meal delivery before I hire an uncertified individual.

This. Personal chef, meal delivery, nutritionist or RD. Nutritionist and RD are probably covered by your insurance.

WW is doing away with coaches but they have groups I believe

I have lost 50lbs and kept it off. But instead of charging for my guidance based on my personal experiwnce, I will give it for free: go into therapy and work on your personal happiness and how it relates to your bad relationship with food. Then take baby steps over time to change it.

Don’t you have to be a licensed medical doctor to access her coaching services?
