Summary

More and more Americans are becoming overweight. The rates of overweight are especially high in rural areas of the country. Until now, there has been little access to weight management programs in rural areas. This study will examine ways to help individuals from rural counties to manage weight and improve fitness. To do this, three doses of lifestyle treatment (Low, Moderate and High)will be compared to an education control condition. Our principal hypothesis is that both the Moderate and High conditions will have greater weight loss at two years than either the Low or Control conditions.
