This study is looking into why people from different financial backgrounds have different results from behavioral weight loss programs. Researchers want to understand if daily challenges like stress, or a tendency to focus on immediate needs (called "present bias"), affect how much weight people lose. You could be eligible if you are at least 18 years old, have obesity (a body mass index of 30 or higher), and meet specific criteria for either lower or higher socioeconomic status. The study will involve a behavioral weight loss treatment based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevent T2 program. The main goal is to measure weight change at 2, 4, and 6 months to see what predicts success. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 230 participants.
