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%...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether pre- postoperative increases in physical activity (PA) are associated with weight loss and health-related quality life (HRQoL) following bariatric surgery. Participants were 199 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery patients. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) used categorize participants into three groups according their preoperative /1-year PA level: (i) Inactive/Active (<200-min/week/>or=200-min/week), (ii)...
Objective: The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) was established in 1993 to examine the characteristics of those who are successful at weight loss: individuals maintaining a 13.6‐kg loss for >1 year. size registry has increased substantially since early descriptions this group decade ago. purpose study describe detail weekly physical activity habits NWCR members, relationship between amount and demographic characteristics, determine if changes parameters have occurred over time....
Few studies have examined predictors of weight regain after significant losses. This prospective study behavioral and psychological in 261 successful losers who completed an 18-month trial prevention that compared a control condition with self-regulation interventions delivered face-to-face or via the Internet. Linear mixed effect models were used to examine regain, both as main effects interactions treatment group. Decreases physical activity related across all 3 groups, increased frequency...
Acute exercise suppresses ad libitum energy intake, but little is known about the effects of on food reward brain regions. After an overnight fast, 30 (17 men, 13 women), healthy, habitually active (age = 22.2 ± 0.7 yr, body mass index 23.6 0.4 kg/m 2 , V̇o 2peak 44.2 1.5 ml·kg −1 ·min ) individuals completed 60 min a cycle ergometer or rest (no-exercise) in counterbalanced, crossover fashion. each condition, blood oxygen level-dependent responses to high-energy food, low-energy and control...
<h3>Importance</h3> Postpartum weight retention increases lifetime risk of obesity and related morbidity. Few effective interventions exist for multicultural, low-income women. <h3>Objective</h3> To test whether an internet-based loss program in addition to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program Women, Infants, Children (WIC program) postpartum women could produce greater than WIC alone over 12 months. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A 12-month, cluster randomized, assessor-blind,...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to prospectively examine the effect state stay‐at‐home mandates on weight US adults by BMI over 3 months during COVID‐19. Methods completed an online questionnaire containing demographics, weight, physical activity, sedentary time, fruit/vegetable intake, depressive symptoms, stress, and sleep at baseline (May 2020) after (August 2020). Results Participants gained 0.6 kg (76.7‐77.3 kg, p = 0.002). A total 26% those with obesity > 2 compared...
Introduction In pregnancy, people with obesity or excess adiposity are prone to gestational weight gain (GWG) and have the highest risks for multiple maternal morbidities. Epidemiological studies suggest that lowest incidence of adverse infant outcomes occurs GWG lower than current recommendations (<5 kg) maintenance, resulting in fat mass loss, those obesity. Data from randomised clinical trials needed evaluate efficacy a loss intervention on pregnancy outcomes. The objective this...
<h3>Background</h3> Despite considerable professional consensus that modest weight losses of 5% to 10% are successful for reducing the comorbid conditions associated with obesity, obese patients often desire 2 3 times greater than this. Examining ways reduce disparities between treatment expectations and subsequent outcomes, this study evaluated role physical characteristics, setting, mood in patients' evaluations outcomes. <h3>Methods</h3> This was conducted a university outpatient loss...
