SLOW-BWL
All patients will receive the POWER-remote behavioral weight loss intervention (BWL) and have a behavioral coach for the duration of the 6 month study. During months 1-3, the behavioral coach will call weekly. From months 4-6, the behavioral coach will call monthly. At week 9, those who lose \<5%, designated slow responders, will continue BWL and initiate Contrave (SLOW-BWL). The SLOW-BWL arm will receive at least 16 weeks of Contrave \[as per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended administration\] starting at week 9 and discontinue if ≥5% weight loss is not achieved at month 6. Contrave: Initiate Contrave at 1 tab in morning (AM) for Week 9; then 1 tab in AM and 1 tab in evening (PM) for Week 10; then 2 tab in AM and 1 tab in PM for Week 11; then 2 tab in AM and 2 tab in PM for week 12; then constant dose for months 4-6. Behavioral Weight Loss: 6 months of behavioral weight loss. First 3 months are weekly calls with coach and then transition to monthly calls for months 4-6.
FAST-BWL
All patients will receive the POWER-remote behavioral weight loss intervention (BWL) and have a behavioral coach for the duration of the 6 month study. During months 1-3, the behavioral coach will call weekly. From months 4-6, the behavioral coach will call monthly. At week 9, those who lose ≥5%, designated fast responders, will continue with BWL alone (FAST-BWL) Behavioral Weight Loss: 6 months of behavioral weight loss.
