40. Public health approach to prevent obesity effectiveness of programs for weight loss via lifestyle change (controlled energy intake, increased physical activity) is highly variable and infrequent result in sustainable weight loss
Long term weight loss difficult to achieve Multiple interventions needed including Behaviour therapy Small weight reductions (5% to 10%) associated with health benefits

Unexpected
. Regular self-monitoring has been consistently demonstrated as an effective behavior change strategy (23), however, adherence wanes over time. To overcome adherence challenges, we created a dynamic, graphically rich, high usability self-monitoring tool that permitted tracking of individual progress and displayed the average performance for other program participants (see Figure 1 ).
We chose self-monitoring metrics that would limit complexity, relying primarily on dichotomous response options.
Participants randomized to the web-based intervention would demonstrate greater weight losses compared to those in usual care
We observed a larger reduction in BMI among intervention participants), relative to those randomized to usual care; mean difference:). We did not find any group differences for change in (mean difference), (mean difference:), or (mean difference:). We observed no gender differences in change for any of the body weight or secondary outcomes.
Majority of intervention participants met the website login goal through week 9 Over 40% continued to meet the login goal through week 12.
Figure 3 shows the association between website login quartile and weight loss in the intervention group ( P for trend = 0.0007). Compared to the lowest quartile of website logins, those in the highest quartile showed greater weight loss (mean difference:-4.16 kg; 95% CI -1.47, -6.84). Differences in weight loss were also observed between quartiles two and four (mean difference: -4.87; 95% CI -2.56, -7.17).
