Cohort
For your discussion this week go around your cohort and generate a reasonable stake or goal to help them stay motivated! Remember to calibrate to each persons comfort level. Somone may need a marathon to motivate fitness while simply being able to walk with their kids every weekend is stakes enough for another person.
After you have generated your stakes hold each other accountable and take the steps to make sure you can't go back!
