Reduced Intensity Behavioral Weight Loss + Peer Health Coach
Reduced Intensity Behavioral Weight Loss + Peer Health Coach
Participants will receive a 12-month reduced intensity group behavioral weight loss program. During weeks that there are no group meetings, participants will be coached by peers (i.e., other members of their weight loss group).
Reduced Intensity Behavioral Weight Loss + Mentor Health Coach
Reduced Intensity Behavioral Weight Loss + Mentor Health Coach
Participants will receive a 12-month reduced intensity group behavioral weight loss program. During weeks that there are no group meetings, participants will be coached by a mentor (i.e., successful weight loser).
