Objectives We examined whether adding behavioral weight loss strategies could improve the outcomes of a community weight loss campaignMethods Shape Up RI is a 12 week online team based program for health improvement in Rhode Island In study 1 we randomly assigned participants to the standard Shape Up RI program or to the program plus video lessons on weight loss In study 2 we randomly assigned participants to the standard program or to the program plus video lessons daily self monitoring of weight eating and exercise and computer generated feedbackResults Adding video lessons alone (study 1) did not result in significantly improved weight loss (2 0 +/- 2 8 kg vs 1 4 +/- 2 9 kg P= 15) However when the video lessons were supplemented with self monitoring and feedback (study 2) the average weight loss more than doubled (3 5 +/- 3 8 kg vs 1 4 +/- 2 7 kg P< 01) and the proportion of individuals achieving a weight loss of 5% or more tripled (40 5% vs 13 2% P< 01) Participants in study 2 submitted self monitoring records on 78% of days and adherence was significantly related to outcomeConclusions Adding behavioral strategies to community campaigns may improve weight loss outcomes with minimal additional cost (Am J Public Health 2010 100 2513-2519 doi 10 2105/AJPH 2009 183616)
