Measure
WIC E-Moms
Participants enrolled in the WIC E-Moms group will receive a personalized dietary prescription to promote weight loss and arrive at pregravid weight by 6 months postpartum. Our weight loss intervention will incorporate standard WIC nutritional advice and will encouraged 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity activity, which is about 3,000 - 4,000 steps/day above baseline, as recommended for maintenance of healthy weight. Each participant will be assigned a trained weight management counselor who will provide frequent recommendations and advice and support at least once per week.
WIC Moms
Participants in WIC Moms will receive standardized advice and services for postpartum nutrition and weight management through their nominated WIC clinic. Participants in the control group will not receive a dietary prescription or personalized weight management services from the Pennington Biomedical study team.
