Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Weight loss and self-compassion
Participants will receive a 15-week behavioral weight loss program which teaches strategies for changing diet and exercise behaviors. This will consist of a combination of group and individual sessions. Group classes will be delivered remotely via a video-conferencing platform. This will be followed by an 8-week mindfulness-based self-compassion program which combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion as a means for improving emotional resilience, well-being, and weight control.
Behavioral weight loss program
Using a combination of individual (\~1x/month) and group-based (\~3x/month) meetings, participants will be taught behavioral approaches for changing diet and exercise behaviors. This intervention will be 15 weeks in duration and will be delivered remotely using a video-conferencing platform.
Self-compassion
This 8-week, group-based program will help train individuals on how to handle difficult emotions with greater ease, how to transform difficult relationships, and how to motivate and encourage oneself, rather than being self-critical.
