Abstract Objective: The objectives were to investigate the characteristics associated with frequent self‐weighing and relationship between weight loss maintenance. Research Methods Procedures: Participants ( n = 3003) members of National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) who had lost ≥30 lbs, kept it off for ≥1 year, been administered frequency assessment used this study at baseline (i.e., entry NWCR). Of these, 82% also completed one‐year follow‐up assessment. Results: At baseline, 36.2%...
To determine whether acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABT) would result in greater weight loss than standard (SBT), and effects were moderated by interventionist expertise or participants' susceptibility to eating cues. Recent research suggests that poor long-term weight-control outcomes are due lapses adherence behaviors might be improved enhancing SBT with strategies. Overweight participants (n = 128) randomly assigned 40 weeks of ABT. Both groups produced significant loss, when...
Breast cancer survivors report adverse sexual effects (sexual morbidity) such as disrupted function, distress and body dissatisfaction. However, most studies have failed to evaluate the persistence of these in long-term survivors. The present study comprehensively assessed prevalence predictors sexual/body image problems among three or more years post diagnosis.Eighty-three breast completed surveys a median seven diagnosis. Survey items probed demographic, diagnostic clinical information,...
To evaluate the efficacy, as well potential moderators and mediators, of a revised acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABT) for obesity, relative to standard (SBT). Participants with overweight obesity (n = 190) were randomized 25 sessions ABT or SBT over 1 year. Primary outcome (weight), mediator, moderator measurements taken at baseline, 6 months, and/or 12 weight was also measured every session. assigned attained significantly greater 12-month loss (13.3% ± 0.83%) than did those (9.8%...
Eating disorders are among the most challenging to treat, with even state-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral treatments achieving only modest success. One possible reason for high rate of treatment failure eating is that existing do not attend sufficiently critical aspects disorder such as experiential avoidance, poor awareness, and lack motivation. These variables explicit targets Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). The current study examined efficacy an ACT-based group by examining whether...
Background: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) appears to have some promise as a method of promoting physical activity. Method: This pilot study evaluated the short-term effectiveness brief, physical-activity-focused ACT intervention. Young adult, female participants were randomly assigned an Education (n = 19) or 35) Both interventions consisted 2, 2-hour group sessions. sessions taught skills for mindfulness, values clarification, willingness experience distress in service behavior...
The current study sought to examine executive function (EF) in overweight individuals with and without loss-of-control (LOC) eating.Eighty obese entering a behavioural weight loss trial (n=18) (n=62) LOC eating were administered clinical interview neuropsychological battery designed assess self-regulatory control, planning, delayed discounting working memory.After controlling for age, IQ depression, performed worse on tasks of planning control did not differ performance other tasks.Results...
Deficits in executive function (EF)-including inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, decision-making, and working memory-may be risk or maintenance factors for binge eating disorder (BED). However, there is mixed evidence regarding EF deficits individuals with BED. Significant methodological weaknesses (e.g., use of a single measure, omission relevant covariates) the current literature represent one reason lack consensus.This study compared sample overweight women (n = 31) without 43)...
Adherence to dietary prescriptions is critical for successful weight loss and maintenance. However, research on specific instances of inadherence (lapses) limited, findings regarding the frequency, nature, causes lapses are mixed. Additionally, no studies have examined over course a program. In context reduced calorie diet prescribed as part behavioral treatment, we aimed characterize lapse occurrence, examine frequency across predictors lapses, assess relationship between loss. Adults (n =...
This study compared the psychosocial status and weight loss expectations of women with extreme (class III) obesity who sought bariatric surgery those class I-II enrolled in a research on behavioral control.Before treatment, all participants completed Beck Depression Inventory-II Weight Lifestyle Inventory. latter questionnaire assesses several domains including symptoms depression low self-esteem, history psychiatric complications, current stressors, expectations.Women III obesity, as I-II,...
