Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the relationship of physical activity to quality of life and psychological functioning among adults with severe obesity (BMI\>40) and 2) evaluate the effects of activity monitoring on changes in physical activity during a 6-week intervention interval.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALPhone/zoom calls
Participants will complete weekly follow-up phone/zoom calls with a member of the research team. The phone/zoom calls will typically last 30-60 minutes. Participants will discuss barriers to activity and goals for upcoming weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary time | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will wear activity monitors for the duration of the study. Sedentary time is operationalized as any recorded waking time spent sitting or lying down. |
| Sit to stand transitions | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will wear activity monitors for the duration of the study. The monitors will keep track of every time a participant goes from sitting to standing and vice versa. |
| Self-report physical activity | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will complete the Modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form |
| Physical function | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will complete a 60-foot walk test and 30-second chair stand test. |
| Health Related Quality of life | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will complete the Medical Outcomes Survey, Short Form-36 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perceived stress | Change from baseline to 6 weeks | Participants will complete the Perceived Stress Scale |
