About this trial
The purpose of this research study is to pilot test five different, group based and remotely delivered programs designed to support healthy eating and regular physical activity. Each group will contain information and support for healthy eating and physical activity. Groups may also include support to 1) eat with more awareness of hunger and fullness, 2) improve how people think and feel about their bodies, and/or 3) identify ways to be physically active that are more enjoyable. Each group will include a unique combination of these components and the goal is to assess overall satisfaction and engagement with each of the programs.
