Online Behavioral Weight Loss for Sexual Minority Women

This study is testing an online behavioral weight loss program called "Rx Weight Loss" for sexual minority women. It also includes new components designed to help with specific challenges this group faces, such as minority stress, social support, and negative body image. The goal is to see if these additions improve weight loss. You may be able to join if you are a woman, identify as a sexual minority (like lesbian or bisexual), are between 18 and 70 years old, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 25 and 50, and are interested in losing weight. The study will measure changes in weight and how many participants lose 5% or more of their initial weight after 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
