Is there such thing as a book club but for learning about weight loss and fitness? I have this wish for a group of 5-6 people trying to lose weight who have similar challenges (e.g. working moms, substance recovery, menopause, job stressors) who meet once a month to report their progress, then discuss a chosen book/strategy/topic content. Here's how I would format the meeting:
- Meet LIVE over Zoom or In-Person with regularity
- Report Each person gets 1-3 minutes to neutrally report their current experience in meeting their goals, whether it's progress, setbacks, stalls. Unlike some weight loss communities there would be NO judgment, NO excuses, NO advice, NO encouragement, NO celebrations. Just a simple update like a scientist in the middle of an experiment, maybe noting factors but not making conclusions. Neutrality is key so no one feels like their efforts are good or bad
- Discuss the content: Discuss what worked, what seems unrealistic, how it could be adapted and any other standout points. Use the content as a jumping off point to organically fall into troubleshooting, expressing frustrations, offering affirmation, celebrating, strategizing and committing to new approaches, and all the other issues we have around our bodies and weight loss. And, like other bookclubs, if you didn't finish, you still get to come.
- Like a book club, you wouldn't stop meeting when someone reaches their goal. There is no end-point in fitness. Like a book club, you'd keep meeting to enrich yourselves and others on the best content for fitness advice, and to build social connections and support.
Do such groups in this format exist out there? It has to be live, like a book club. Does anyone else wish for such a group?
