Precontemplation
Contemplation
Preparation
Action

The correct answer is: Preparation

The stage of change referred to as Preparation is characterized by the individual taking actionable steps towards their goal. In this case, Jim is actively planning to meet with a health coach, which indicates that he is not only thinking about losing weight but is also preparing to make it a reality. This stage often involves creating specific plans and strategies, such as developing a weight-loss program, which is exactly what Jim is doing. Individuals in the Preparation stage recognize the importance of their goal and are starting to commit to it by gathering information, seeking support, and setting timelines. Jim's intent to meet with a health coach exemplifies this desire to take definitive action towards his weight-loss journey.
