The Impact

The experience and role of self-monitoring in self-directed weight loss attempts may be distinctly different from that within formal interventions, and has yet to be fully explored. We systematically reviewed qualitative studies to examine experiences of self-monitoring as an aid to self-directed weight loss. Thematic synthesis was used to construct descriptive and analytical themes from the available data. In all, 22 studies (681 participants) were included, in which the uses of self-monitoring ranged from an aid to increase adherence to a tool for facilitating analysis. Self-monitoring also influenced and was influenced by self-perception and emotions. Feelings of shame were linked with abandonment of efforts. Findings highlight the centrality of interpretation of self-monitored data, the implications this interpretation has on sense of self, and the impact of broader discourses. Explicitly framing self-monitoring as a positive tool with which to aid analysis may encourage helpful use of this technique.

Introduction: Excess body weight, is a worldwide health problem. Social support may play a central role during weight loss processes; however, this relationship has not been clearly established. Objective: To determine the role of social support in adult women´s weight loss. Methods: We conducted a systematic review searching four databases: PubMed, Ebsco Medline with full text, PsycINFO, and Web of Science; and including articles that were 1) related to at least one of the research question; 2) intervention studies aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the familiar social support component in weight loss; 3) the population of the study was adult women between 18 and 65 years. Results: Ten studies relating family social support to weight loss: only a few of them have shown an association between weight loss and family social support, and none of the studies found an association between family social support and BMI; involving family members in weight loss programs seems to have some positive effect but the results are mixed. Limitations: Studies used different definitions and measures to evaluate family social support; some of them were excluded because they did not differentiate in their analysis between men and women. Conclusions: It seems to be a positive effect between social support and weight loss in women, but more studies are necessary to draw solid conclusions.
