Summary

In prior research the Mobility and Vitality Lifestyle Program for healthy aging and weight management (MOVE UP) was effective in producing a mean loss of \>= 5% body weight, with increased physical activity and reduced fatigue. This research will pilot a modified and streamlined version to see if it will be similarly effective for caregivers of family members or friends who have dementia, physical and/or developmental issues, or health problems.

Detailed description

The investigators aim to test the feasibility of delivery of a modified and streamlined lifestyle program in volunteer community settings and to provide pilot data to inform the design of future randomized controlled trials that may improve physical and mental health in older adults (50-75) who are providing care for a family member or friend who has dementia, physical and/or developmental issues, or health problems. Current objectives include: 1 . Adapt and pilot the previously studied 32-session, 13-month MOVE UP intervention to a streamlined 12-session (4-month) community-based translational behavioral weight management program. The pilot program will be delivered by a staff interventionist. 2\. Implement and evaluate the program's impact on weight and healthy lifestyle changes, including physical performance outcomes, at 2 sites, each with at least 6 eligible obese and caregiving adults ages 50-75 years old.

BEHAVIORAL	MOVE UP	Each of the 12 group sessions will focus on incremental behavioral strategies for maintaining healthy eating, activity, and weight loss.behaviors. Body weight will be measured in-person session and participants will also to measure their body weight on their in Session 3, participants are given physical activity goal of 10 minutes/day, 50 minutes/week. The goal is raised by 5 minutes/day, 25 minutes/week every other session, the final goal being 30 minutes/day, 150 minutes/week. All subjects will be recommended to engage in an energy restricted dietary intervention that evidence demonstrates has effectively reduced body weight by 5-7% within the initial 4 months of the intervention. This will include reducing energy intake to 1200 to 1800 kcal/d based on initial body weight (\<200 pounds = 1200 kcal/d; 200 to 250 pounds = 1500 kcal/d; \>250 pounds = 1800 kcal/d).
