Summary

This study is testing whether adding a simple mental exercise called WOOP can help Veterans with obesity lose more weight. WOOP is a 4-step technique that uses positive imagery to build motivation. Researchers are comparing the standard VA telephone weight-loss program (MOVE!) to the same program plus the WOOP technique to see which leads to better weight loss over 12 months.
