Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 65. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Participant between the ages of 18-65 years.
• Participant with a BMI (Body Mass Index > 30.0 kg/m2)
• Have access and use email a minimum of 2-days per week.

You may not qualify if…

• Participant is not pregnant or lactating: Weight loss is not recommended for pregnant women and extra energy requirements are essential for fetal development (Butte, Wong, Treuth, Ellis, \& O'Brian Smith, 2004; Durnin, 1991).
• Participant is not currently participating in any structured/self-help weight loss program. The elimination of individuals actively participating in a current weight loss program will reduce the potential of a carry-over effect from these weight loss modalities (Fife-Shaw, 2006).
• Participant has not attempted weight loss in the past 3 months. Same as number two.
