Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Self-Directed
In this group, the study staff will meet with you once at the beginning of the study to give you written information about weight management.
Self-control weight loss
Coach Directed Behavioral Weight Loss
The Remote Lifestyle Coaching intervention is based on the Call Center Directed intervention to help you loss weight
Coach Directed Behavioral Weight Loss
Behavioral-based telephonic coaching with web-based support to promote healthy lifestyle and weight loss in overweight and obese adults.The goal of this intervention is to achieve at least 5% weight loss in the first six months of the intervention and maintain these improvements through month twelve by meeting dietary and exercise goals
Metformin
This group will be given the study drug called Metformin. Metformin comes in tablet form that you take with meals
Metformin
Participants will receive metformin, an oral medication for type 2 diabetes.Participants randomized to the metformin intervention will receive metformin up to 2,000 mg per day.Dosing can be flexible, two or three times per day with meals as tolerated for 12 months.
