Summary

Internet-based weight control programs have been shown effective in producing weight loss, but in-person delivery of behavioral weight control produces significantly greater weight loss than on-line delivery of the same program. Motivational Interviewing has been shown to increase weight loss when delivered as an adjunct to in-person weight loss programs but has not been examined in conjunction with web-based obesity treatment. Therefore, the overall goal of this project is to determine if the addition of on-line Motivational Interviewing to a web-based group behavioral obesity treatment program will augment weight loss outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Contingent MI

Participants will attend weekly behavioral internet meetings. They may or may not receive Motivational Interviewing depending on their class attendance.

BEHAVIORAL

Internet Obesity Treatment

Participants will engage in self monitoring, will receive skills training to help cope with environmental triggers, and will receive nutrition advice.

BEHAVIORAL

Internet Obesity Treatment with MI

In addition to weekly group meetings, self-monitoring through recording calorie and fat intake daily as well as exercise, participants will meet one-on-one with an MI counselor on-line in order to augment an individual's motivation to change behavior.
