Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a worksite diet and exercise program on weight loss in postpartum women
Detailed Description:
This project is a research study investigating the effects of a worksite diet and exercise intervention on weight loss in overweight postpartum women Weight loss programs have been shown to be effective in reducing postpartum weight retention However high attrition rates in these studies suggest that the added responsibility of a new infant at home and returning to work may limit a womans ability to follow a diet plan and exercise regularly We hope that by offering a weight loss program at the workplace we can increase participant retention and maximize weight loss in this population Our primary aim is to promote weight loss while preserving lean body mass during the 12 week intervention Secondary aims include increasing cardiovascular fitness from baseline and improving cardiovascular biomarkers including total LDL and HDL cholesterol triglycerides glucose insulin and markers of inflammation and metabolism
