Weight loss programs evidence considerable variability in treatment outcomes, and weight regain is common, signaling the need for the refinement of effective treatments. This study compared the recently developed Transforming Your Life program to the Diabetes Prevention Program, considered the "Gold Standard" in behavioral weight loss treatment. A total of 98 participants (Transforming Your Life = 51; Diabetes Prevention Program = 47) were randomized to the two weight loss interventions. The Transforming Your Life program and Diabetes Prevention Program produced comparable weight loss and maintenance outcomes. Individuals may benefit from engagement in the Transforming Your Life program, if they are searching for a somewhat novel approach to losing weight other than that offered by the Diabetes Prevention Program
