The Use of the Internet to Facilitate Weight Loss and Maintenance.

This project is assessing the effectiveness of using the Internet as a tool to facilitate the maintenance of weight lost in a behavioral weight control program. Participants attend a standard behavioral weight control intervention via Interactive Television and after 6 months are randomly assigned to one of three groups; a control group, an in-person weight maintenance group and a maintenance group that meets over the Internet. This research project is being conducted in Vermont.
