This pilot study tests whether a 10-week behavioral program can help people maintain weight loss after stopping GLP-1 or other anti-obesity medications. The program includes medically tailored meals, a YMCA membership, and a meditation component. Researchers will follow 64 participants for 6 months to see if the approach is feasible and acceptable.
