BACKGROUND: Relapse is high in lifestyle interventions involving behavioural change and weight loss maintenance. The purpose of lifestyle self-management interventions offered at Healthy Life Centres (HLCs) is to empower the participants, leading to self-management and improved health. Exploring beneficial self-management support and user involvement in HLCs is critical for quality, improving effectiveness and guiding approaches to lifestyle change support in overweight and obesity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore how persons afflicted by overweight or obesity attending lifestyle interventions in Norwegian HLCs experience beneficial self-management support and user involvement. METHOD: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 service users (5 men and 8 women). Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: One main theme was identified: regaining self-esteem and dignity through active involvement and long-term self-worth support in partnership with others. This main theme comprised four themes: (a) self-efficacy through active involvement and better perceived health, (b) valued through health-care professionals (HPs) acknowledgement, equality and individualized support, (c) increased motivation and self-belief through fellowship and peer support; and (d) maintenance of lifestyle change through accessibility and long-term support. CONCLUSION: Service users' active involvement, acknowledgement and long-term self-worth support from HPs and peers seem to support self-management and user involvement and may be some of the successful ingredients to lifestyle change. However, prolonged follow-up support is needed. A collectivistic and long-term perspective can integrate the importance of significant others and shared responsibility
