“…However, it appears that it is crucial to continue self-monitoring throughout a 6-month behavioral weight control program, as consistent self-monitoring continued to distinguish those individuals who achieved a clinically significant weight loss from those who did not, in the latter weeks of the program (i.e., Weeks 9 through 24). Thus, consistent with findings from paper-and-pencil self-monitoring (Boutelle & Kirschenbaum, 1998; Burke et al, 2008; Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group, 2004; Helsel et al, 2007; Streit et al, 1991; West et al, 2007), online self-monitoring overall throughout a program was strongly associated with weight loss outcomes.…”

“…A key, commonly measured outcome of self-regulation—self-monitoring—consistently predicts weight loss outcomes in both in-person (Boutelle & Kirschenbaum, 1998; Burke et al, 2008; Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group, 2004; Helsel, Jakicic, & Otto, 2007; Streit, Stevens, Stevens, & Rossner, 1991; West, Gore, DiLillo, Greene, & Bursac, 2007) and online behavioral weight loss programs (Burke et al, 2011; Cussler et al, 2008; Gold, Burke, Pintauro, Buzzell, & Harvey-Berino, 2007; Tate, Jackvony, & Wing, 2006; Tate, Wing, & Winett, 2001). Online weight control technologies could reduce barriers to behavioral weight control treatment, by providing increased ease and convenience of self-monitoring.…”

Objectives Online weight control technologies could reduce barriers to treatment, including increased ease and convenience of self-monitoring. Self-monitoring consistently predicts outcomes in behavioral weight loss programs; however, little is known about patterns of self-monitoring associated with success. Methods The current study examines 161 participants (93% female; 31% African-American; mean BMI=35.7±5.7) randomized to a 6-month online behavioral weight control program which offered weekly group “chat” sessions and online self-monitoring. Self-monitoring log-ins were continuously monitored electronically during treatment and examined in association with weight change and demographics. Weekend and weekday log-ins were examined separately and length of periods of continuous self-monitoring were examined. Results We found that 91% of participants logged in to the self-monitoring webpage at least once. Over 6 months, these participants monitored on an average of 28% of weekdays and 17% of weekend days, with most log-ins earlier in the program. Women were less likely to log-in, and there were trends for greater self-monitoring by older participants. Race, education and marital status were not significant predictors of self-monitoring. Both weekday and weekend log-ins were significant independent predictors of weight loss. Patterns of consistent self-monitoring emerged early for participants who went on to achieve greater than a five percent weight loss. Conclusions Patterns of online self-monitoring were strongly associated with weight loss outcomes. These results suggest a specific focus on consistent self-monitoring early in a behavioral weight control program might be beneficial for achieving clinically significant weight losses.

“…Behavioral adherence. Session attendance and number of days of self-monitoring records were used as an index of adherence to the treatment program (Streit, Stevens, Stevens, & Rossner, 1991). Adherence to the exercise prescription was assessed by evaluating participants' daily exercise logs, which included time and date, activity completed, and duration.…”

Twenty-four obese women were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 group treatments: behavioral choice treatment (BCT) or traditional behavioral treatment (TBT). BCT uses decision theory to promote moderate behavior change that can be comfortably, and therefore permanently, maintained. Groups completed a moderate-intensity walking program and obtained feedback from computerized eating dairies. The TBT group evidenced greater weight loss at posttreatment. However, the TBT group also evidenced a trend to regain weight, whereas the BCT group continued a slow weight loss during follow-up. Exercise followed a similar pattern. Both groups decreased in restraint and increased in self-esteem.

“…The self-monitoring records were visually inspected and reviewed by a group leader at each treatment session. The number of days on which self-monitoring records were completed during the year of treatment was used as an index of adherence to the behavioral treatment program (Streit, Stevens, Stevens, & Rossner, 1991).

This study examined the effects of 2 aerobic exercise regimens on exercise participation, fitness, eating patterns, treatment adherence, and weight change in 49 obese women undergoing a year-long behavioral weight loss program. Participants were assigned randomly to weight loss treatment plus either group- or home-based exercise. All participants were instructed to complete a moderate-intensity walking program (30 min/day, 5 days/week). Group exercise participants were provided with 3 supervised group exercise sessions per week for the first 26 weeks and with 2 sessions per week thereafter. Home exercise participants were instructed to complete all exercise in their home environment. After 6 months, both conditions displayed significant improvements in exercise participation, fitness, eating patterns, and weight loss. At 12 months, the home-based program showed superior performance to the group condition in exercise participation and treatment adherence; at 15 months, participants in the home program demonstrated significantly greater weight losses than those in the group program.
