Can finding joy in healthy habits help you keep the weight off?

This study tested whether a new behavioral program called 'Fun First' could help people maintain weight loss better than a standard program like Weight Watchers. Over 300 adults with obesity and elevated blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of the two 12-month programs and followed for 3 years. The main goal was to see if focusing on enjoying healthy behaviors (like eating well and being active) before trying to lose weight leads to more people keeping a significant amount of weight off long-term.
