Objectives: Despite increased interest in the development of individually tailored weight management programs, little is known about what factors proximally predict weight change. Method: The current study investigated proximal (week-to-week) predictors of weight loss and regain in 74 adults during a 3-month, Internet-based behavioral weight loss program followed by a 9-month "maintenance" period (during which no additional intervention was provided). Participants were asked to self-weigh daily using scales that transmitted weight via the cellular network and to answer a brief questionnaire each week querying mood, behaviors, and cognitions hypothesized to be associated with weight loss and regain. Results: Longitudinal multilevel models demonstrated that weight loss during initial intervention was proximally predicted by (a) greater frequency of self-monitoring weight and caloric intake, consistency between eating choices and weight loss goals, and importance of "staying on track" with these goals and (b) less negative mood, boredom with weight control efforts, hunger, and temptation to eat foods "not on plan" (ps
