Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of clinical trial is to test a novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises in overweight adults with moderate to high levels of internalized weight bias. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1) Can participants lose significant weight loss and 2) significantly reduce internalized weight bias. Participants will take part in a 12 week novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises using videoconferencing software.

The goal of clinical trial is to test a novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises in overweight adults with moderate to high levels of internalized weight bias. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1) Can participants lose significant weight loss and 2) significantly reduce internalized weight bias. Participants will take part in a 12-week novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises using videoconferencing software. The weight loss approach will be modeled after the Diabetes Prevention Program and the approach utilized to reduce internalized weight bias will be Kristen Neff's self-compassion intervention. Each weekly session will utilize Webex videoconferencing software and last approximately 60-90 minutes.
