Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to test the effect of a new three-month behavioral weight loss program among adult men. Weight will be measured at three and six months post randomization. The intervention will be compared to a wait-list control group. Participants will be 112 overweight and obese men (18-65) living in the Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham area. The behavioral intervention tested will be delivered online with two face-to-face group meetings. Intervention content will be delivered via email and online. It is hypothesized that men randomized to the REFIT intervention will lose more weight at 3 months than men randomized to the wait-list group.

This arm will receive the REFIT intervention immediately after randomization.
This arm will receive a modified version of the REFIT program after the 6-month assessment.
The intervention will include 2 face-to-face group meetings, weekly check-in sessions, weekly tailored feedback, and weekly lessons focused on specific weight loss behaviors. All participants will be encouraged increase their physical activity to approximately 250 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week.
