Measure
Control
Participants in the control condition will be given written information at the baseline visit from the NIH website "Aim for a Healthy Weight" to provide a basic understanding of weight loss and access to basic online resources, but will not participate in group weight loss sessions with peer leaders.
Weight Loss Groups
Participants in this arm will receive peer-led facilitation within groups using an adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program. Weight loss Groups: The intervention will consist of 12 weekly one-hour weight loss sessions led by successful volunteer peers. Participants are provided with a modified version of the Diabetes Prevention Program manual and are mentored by peer leaders at weight loss sessions.
