Weight loss

1. Participants will be prescribed a reduced calorie diet and asked to track their diet three days per week using the online USDA MyPlate SuperTracker. This record will be accessed by the RD in order to provide diet recommendations sent by email. 2. Participants will be given an exercise prescription, and encouraged to walk briskly with a provided pedometer or exercise at the campus Recreation Center every day. Participants will be asked to record the number of steps and other physical activity in a log book. 3. Participants will meet with the research staff every other week to measure weight, waist and hip circumference, and record the steps from the pedometer. 4. Participants will be encouraged to breastfeed their baby and provided with resources for pumping breast milk at work.
