Weight Loss Program Progress & Barriers Survey
Tracks how people in a weight loss program, coaching service, or health app are actually progressing — what's getting in their way, where they're putting effort, and which support features they'd value most — with an AI follow-up that reconstructs the last time they fell off track and what would have changed the outcome. Built for programs and coaches optimizing retention and results.

Q10
AI Interview
Reconstruct the most recent time the respondent fell off track with their eating or exercise plan: what triggered it, what they actually did in the moment, and what happened afterward. Anchor on whichever obstacle they rated as happening 'often' or 'almost always' in the earlier question, and probe what kind of support would have changed the outcome. If they report high satisfaction with no real setbacks, ask what specifically is working and whether it would hold up during a busier or higher-stress stretch.

That's everything — thank you for sharing where things stand! Your answers feed directly into how we design coaching, meal support, and check-ins to help you (and others) stay on track.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the respondent's most recent time falling off track with eating or exercise, probing what specifically happened and what would have changed the outcome — something static forms can't do
- Uses a matrix question to map how often specific barriers (time, motivation, cost, etc.) get in the way, plus a max-diff to rank which support features would help most vs least
- Adds a constant-sum question to see how respondents actually split effort across areas in a typical week, alongside satisfaction, adherence, and recommend-likelihood scales for a full progress picture
- Every response is automatically quality-scored and rolled into an auto-generated report, so coaches/programs get retention-ready insights without manually reading transcripts
Jotform
Weight Loss Program Participant Intake Form TemplateThis is an intake form for enrolling participants into a weight loss program, not a progress/barriers tracking survey. It's fielding-ready as a static form and benefits from Jotform's large template ecosystem and easy embedding, but it's built for onboarding, not ongoing retention or barrier analysis.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use, customizable form fields for capturing participant intake details
- Easy to embed or share and part of a broad template library
- Likely has a free tier for basic use
Where it falls short
- Static intake form with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe why someone fell off track
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated analytical reports
- Focused on onboarding, not on tracking ongoing progress, barriers, or support preferences over time
Typeform
Medical Weight Loss Consultation Form TemplateA consultation-style intake form for medical weight loss providers to gather patient info before or during a visit, not a recurring progress/barriers survey. It offers Typeform's polished conversational one-question-at-a-time interface, but it's a single fixed form rather than an adaptive interview tool.
What it does well
- Clean, conversational one-question-at-a-time interface
- Good fit for structured medical/clinical consultation intake
- Easy to customize question wording and branding
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up questioning — every respondent gets the same fixed question set
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated reports on responses
- Built for a one-time consultation intake, not ongoing progress, barrier tracking, or retention analysis
