Brief summary

To assess the feasibility to translate an automated weight loss message intervention to a weight loss clinic population. Aim 1: To assess feasibility of translating the intervention in a clinic for patients who recently completed a structured weight loss program. Aim 2: To assess the ability to capture a trajectory of self-reported weight over 6 months through an automated intervention.

Detailed description

At baseline the investigators will collect demographic information such as, their age, weight, education. When participants complete their respective program at the DFC they will receive a daily weight loss sustaining text message at 8:00 A.M. for 60 days.

Thereafter, they will receive an automated message monthly for 18 months asking them to self-report their weight.
