Summary

Background: Previous studies report 0.4-1.5kg of weight gain during the holiday season, which may contribute to annual weight gain.

Purpose: To test whether daily self-weighing (DSW) can prevent holiday weight gain.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that daily self-weighing would effectively prevent weight and fat gain, and that individuals with overweight and obesity would respond most favorably to DSW.
