Weight Loss Strategy

The purpose of the study was to describe participants’ experience of daily weighing and to explore factors influencing adherence to daily weighing among individuals who were successful in losing weight during a behavioral weight loss intervention. Participants completed a 12-month weight loss intervention study that included daily self-weighing using a Wi-Fi scale. Individuals were eligible to participate regardless of their frequency of self-weighing. The sample ( N = 30) was predominantly female (83.3%) and White (83.3%) with a mean age of 52.9 ± 8.0 years and mean body mass index of 33.8 ± 4.7 kg/m2. Five main themes emerged: reasons for daily weighing (e.g., feel motivated, being in control), reasons for not weighing daily (e.g., interruption of routine), factors that facilitated weighing, recommendations for others about daily weighing, and suggestions for future weight loss programs. Our results identified several positive aspects to daily self-weighing, which can be used to promote adherence to this important weight loss strategy.

Tangible Rewards

Emerging adults are less likely to participate in and more likely to drop out of behavioral weight loss programs. Thirty-five female emerging adults who dropped out of a behavioral weight loss program, Weight Loss For Life, completed an online survey. Main reasons for dropout relate to insufficient behavioral skills and unique characteristics of emerging adults, especially when in college (e.g., citing working and getting good grades to be more important than losing weight). Most desired >50% of program online, having virtual groups, and using small groups to model desirable behaviors. Around $140 and $180 seemed sufficient to them to encourage participation in all scheduled treatment sessions and reaching overall weight loss goal, respectively. Future behavioral weight loss programs for emerging adults may consider helping develop time management and task management, decision-making that focuses on longer term outcomes, and immediate tangible rewards similar to what college students typically receive after they complete each class assignment.

Lower Adherence

Introduction: Obesity is a primary risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and weight loss is a common recommendation for adults with OSA. However, we previously found that adults with OSA lost less weight than those without OSA during a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention. The potential mechanisms underlying the blunted weight loss among those with OSA are currently unclear; however, one potential explanation may be lower adherence to the intervention and its prescribed behaviors. Purpose: These analyses examined whether measures of adherence to a behavioral weight loss intervention differed between adults with and without OSA. Methods: The sample was comprised of adults who were overweight or obese (N=114; 50.4±10.5 y, body mass index [BMI]: 34.0±4.6 kg/m 2 ; 90.4% female, 82.5% white) who participated in a 12-mo behavioral weight loss intervention study. Participants wore a home sleep testing device (ResMed ApneaLink Plus) for one night at baseline (BL), 6 mo (6M), and 12 mo (12M). Those with an apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 were categorized as having OSA. Adherence to the intervention was assessed by: 1) attendance at group intervention sessions over 12 mo; 2) frequency of meeting daily caloric intake goals over 12 mo; 3) objectively-measured changes from BL in physical activity (steps/day, sedentary time, moderate-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]). Linear mixed models estimated the impact of OSA on these measures of intervention adherence following adjustment for sex, age, race, marital status, smoking status, and baseline BMI, while considering participant to be a random effect. Results: About half (52%) of the participants had OSA at BL, while 41 % had OSA at 6M. Attendance at group sessions did not differ between those with and without OSA over 12 mo (74.5 vs. 75.7%; P=.72). However, adults with OSA met their caloric intake goal less frequently than those without OSA (25.2 vs. 34.8%; P=.006), and adults with OSA increased their steps/day (+378.3 vs. 1060.1; P=.047) and MVPA min/day (+2.1 vs. +6.4; P=.056) less than those without OSA. Reductions in sedentary behavior (min/day) did not differ between those with and without OSA (-7.1 vs. -9.1; P=.81). Conclusions: These data suggest that the blunted weight loss observed among adults with OSA may be at least partially attributable to lower levels of adherence to prescribed goals for caloric intake and physical activity. Additional strategies (e.g., OSA screening and treatment referral, supplemental sessions on diet and MVPA) may be needed to achieve improved adherence to the lifestyle behaviors that lead to weight loss among adults with OSA.

Intent To Treat

Emerging adults are at high risk of obesity but behavioral weight loss programs do not meet their needs. Emerging adults ( N = 52, age = 22.3 ± 2 years, body mass index = 34.2 ± 5.5 kg/m2, 46.2% non-Hispanic White) were randomly assigned to one of three behavioral weight loss programs adapted based on formative work: face-to-face behavioral weight loss, web-based behavioral weight loss, or web plus optional community sessions (Hybrid). Assessments occurred at 0 and 3 months. Engagement and self-monitoring were highest in Hybrid. Intent-to-treat weight losses were −2.8 ± 2.9 percent in face-to-face behavioral weight loss, −2.2 ± 4.5 percent in web-based behavioral weight loss, and 4.8 ± 4.9 percent in Hybrid. Percent achieving ⩾5 percent weight loss was highest in Hybrid (63%). Findings suggest potential for adapted behavioral weight loss to promote engagement and weight loss in emerging adults.
