| Conditions: |
|
Overweight - Obesity |
| Purpose: |
|
This study will examine a contingency management (CM) intervention designed to provide
incentives for losing weight versus participating in a manual-guided behavioral weight loss
intervention alone. Participants in the CM condition will earn the opportunity to win prizes
by losing weight and completing activities that contribute to weight loss, such as keeping
daily food and physical activity diaries, choosing healthy foods, exercising, and using
other weight loss strategies. The investigators will determine if the CM improves weight
loss relative to the usual care manual-guided intervention alone.
