Behavioral Weight Loss Maintenance + Healthy Thinking
Contingent upon participants losing 5% of body weight or more in Phase I (weight loss) of this trial, participants will receive a 4-month behavioral weight maintenance intervention consisting of 7 sessions that focus on evidence-based weight management strategies focused on diet, exercise, and behavioral skills. In this treatment, participants will be asked to read short passages related to nutrition and a healthy lifestyle through our study website twice a day for the duration of treatment.

Behavioral Weight Loss Maintenance Treatment + Future Thinking
Contingent upon participants losing 5% of body weight or more in Phase I (weight loss) of this trial, participants will receive a 4-month behavioral weight maintenance intervention consisting of 7 sessions that focus on evidence-based weight management strategies focused on diet, exercise, and behavioral skills. In this treatment, participants will create descriptions of upcoming positive events and will be asked to read short passages through our study website at least twice a day for the duration of treatment.
