Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to verify that web based follow up intervention after a classic multidisciplinary face-to-face obesity treatment will reinforced nutrition and exercise self-efficacy, improve drop out rate and advance sustainability after weight loss of obese women.

Research Questions and Hypotheses

* How does a web based follow up intervention change self-efficacy of women participating in an obesity intervention?
* How does a web based follow up intervention affect the drop out rate of women participating in an obesity intervention?
* How does a web based follow up intervention influence sustainability of women participating in an obesity intervention?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Internet

Participants of this intervention group get follow up support via Internet.

They have access to new inputs biweekly consisting of

* Thematic inputs and instructions (e.g. advice on shopping, cooking, regular exercise on daily routine, motivation and more)
* assignments promoting self-awareness and introspection
* spreadsheets promoting self-monitoring

News and updates (e.g. recipes, gymnastic classes, meetings of self support groups and more) will be available each month.

Tailored feedback of their behaviour will be given by documentation on spreadsheets.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Follow Up Support

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

inputs will be based on elements derived from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and awareness training

Printed Manual

Participants of this intervention group get follow up support via a printed manual.

The manual consist of all the same inputs as are available to the Internet follow up group.

* Thematic inputs and instructions (e.g. advice on shopping, cooking, regular exercise on daily routine, motivation and more)
* assignments promoting self-awareness and introspection
* spreadsheets promoting self-monitoring

All inputs will be given at once at the beginning of the follow up intervention, only news and updates (e.g. recipes, gymnastic classes, meetings of self support groups and more) will be sent per mail each month.

There is no tailored feedback of their behaviour as the paper-pencil documentation on spreadsheets can't be monitored by the psychologists.
