BEHAVIORAL

Face-to-face (FTF)

FTF will meet with a health educator in person and will track progress using pen and paper records for both physical activity and diet.

BEHAVIORAL

Technology (TECH)

TECH groups will receive the intervention using an iPad with the FaceTimeTM application for video meetings with a health educator and will track progress using the Lose it! application for both physical activity and diet.
