Summary

This study looks at whether a stepped-care digital health program can help adults with obesity maintain at least 5% weight loss for a year. Participants first lose weight through a 16-week diet and group counseling. Those who succeed are then randomly assigned to usual care, self-monitoring with a smart scale and texts, or a stepped program that increases support if weight is regained. The goal is to find better ways to keep weight off long-term.
