Just an idea about support with goals

A few months back, someone in the fitness industry, ran this idea by me. It's a weight loss support idea, with the elements of T.O.P.S http://www.tops.org/default.aspx using a sponsor who checks on you/you check in with them. Including the Family as well... spouse, girlfriend, mom, whoever... Something like smoke enders or Alanon. You pay an upfront fee, for initial consultation for meal planning, exercise regiment, etc. Then a monthly fee to to keep with it, follow ups etc. Basically someone who calls to give you support to stay away from the buffet, give you the atta boy for exercising 5 days or 3 hrs for the week. Calling the spouse, and saying, Your trucker is doing great ! Keep encouraging them, or He/She is having a rough time sticking with it, keep encouraging them, tell them how much they mean to you..etc.
This was presented as a multi level thing where a person reaches the goal and recruits others to begin, who reach goal and recruit others, and everyone makes money like Amway, or Mary Kay.... i don't really care for that aspect, since i don't really see my self as a salesperson.
But i really like the support idea, esp. T.O.P.S, but being on the road make doing the meetings difficult, and having the support of someone who knows the road life seems like it would generate the most success.
This hits home this week, with the news of a friend, who would do good for a couple weeks and drop weight and start to walk so, but fall back into feeling bad and falling back into the habits again until something scared him again. Now he's gone. And i think about myself and others who mean to do better but give in to the corndog, since you want to get to Tulsa/Kingman/where ever before you run out of hours.... then promise tomorrow you will do better, but tomorrow you want to get to XXXXtown/burg and grab a shower so you do it again.....
What i'm asking is for ideas, opinions and suggestions........ Cuz

 

Ideas ? suggestions ? death threats ?

 

To the top, again
