Abstract:
Abstract: Introduction: Unrealistic expectations about weight goal and about weight loss-related benefits can hinder the effort for a successful long-term weight control. Aim: To explore weight loss-related goals and their background among overweight/obese patients. Method: Study sample consisted of patients who participated in the inpatient weight loss treatment in the Lipidological Department of Szent Imre Hospital (n = 339, 19% men). Mean age: 50.2 years (SD = 13.47 years), mean BMI: 38.6 (SD = 7.58). Measures: self-reported anthropometric data, type and number of treated illnesses, Goals and Relative Weights Questionnaire, Motivations for Weight Loss Scale, Body Shape Questionnaire. Results: Participants would feel disappointed with a possible 10% weight loss in a half-year time span. The acceptable weight loss percentage was higher among women, younger participants and among those who had more excess weight. Motivation regarding the increase in social desirability by weight loss is in association with body dissatisfaction, health related motivation is in association with the number of treated illnesses. Conclusions: Our results are contributing to the understanding of motivational factors behind weight reduction efforts, considering these can improve treatment success rates.

Abstract:
We hypothesized that exposure to weight stigma simultaneously increases motivation to lose or avoid gaining weight to avoid future stigma and decreases perceived capacity to do so, by heightening concerns about experiencing stigma and negative affect. Study 1 showed that more frequently experiencing weight-based discrimination was associated with greater concerns about being a victim of weight stigma, which predicted increased motivation to lose weight but decreased perceived capacity for weight control. Study 2 showed that participants randomly assigned to view a weight-stigmatizing (vs. control) message showed increased concerns about being a target of weight stigma, which indirectly increased motivation to lose weight and decreased state self-control. These, in turn, predicted increased willingness to engage in unhealthy weight-loss behaviors and decreased perceived capacity for weight control, respectively. Study 3 showed that increased motivation to avoid stigma and increased negative affect mediate these effects of exposure to weight stigma.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between attitudes toward weight loss, taking into account: the motivating factors that determine the desire to attempt weight loss; the level of well-being and degree of motivation before and during the weight loss attempt; changes in attitudes after an unsuccessful weight loss attempt; the state of well-being after the completed weight loss attempt and the degree of severity of disordered eating according to the TFEQ-13 questionnaire. The study was conducted among 600 female users of forums for people with excessive weight. The research method used in this study was the author's questionnaire and the standardized Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. A general survey questionnaire serving as a working tool was sent by Computer-Assisted Web Interview to community groups. The predominant group of respondents cannot even count the weight reduction attempts they have made during their lives (31%). Three attempts were made by 29% of respondents, and two attempts by 17%. Attempts to lose weight most often involved increasing current physical activity (overall responses), reducing the caloric content of meals (26%), and improving current eating habits (22%). Most people reduced their body weight from 6 kg to 10 kg (29%) or from 3 to 5 kg (27%). It was found that low a risk of aggravation was diagnosed in 45.5% of people, moderate in 44.5, and low in 10%. For lack of control over eating – a low risk was observed in 15.5% of people, moderate in 68.5% of people, and high in 16%. Evaluating eating under the influence of emotions, the highest risk of the studied phenomenon was observed in 50.5% of people, moderate risk in 36.5% of people, and low risk in 13% of people. The level of motivation significantly decreased when trying to reduce weight. No significant deterioration in well-being was observed before and during the weight loss attempt.

Abstract:
This analysis investigated if changes in autonomous or controlled motivation for participation in a weight loss program differed between individuals offered a financial incentive for weight loss compared to individuals not offered an incentive. Additionally, the same relationships were tested among those who lost weight and either received or did not receive an incentive. This analysis used data from a year-long randomized worksite weight loss program that randomly assigned employees in each worksite to either a low-intensity weight loss program or the same program plus small financial incentives for weight loss ($5.00 per percentage of initial weight lost). There were no differences in changes between groups on motivation during the study, however, increases in autonomous motivation were consistently associated with greater weight losses. This suggests that the small incentives used in this program did not lead to increases in controlled motivation nor did they undermine autonomous motivation. Future studies are needed to evaluate the magnitude and timing of incentives to more fully understand the relationship between incentives and motivation.

Abstract:
Bariatric surgery is recognized as the most effective method for achieving relevant weight loss in subjects with severe obesity. However, there is insufficient knowledge about weight self-regulation and quality of motivation in these patients. The main goal of this study was to characterize the association between the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and the motivation to manage weight, at least 1 year after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). This is an observational longitudinal retrospective study. All patients corresponding to predefined inclusion criteria who underwent SG from January 2008 to July 2010 at a main general hospital were invited. A version of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) was used to assess patients’ quality of motivation: TSRQ concerning continuing the weight self-management program. Clinical data were collected from patients’ records. Overall, 81 patients participated (16 men and 65 women, 25-64 years old). The average body mass index was significantly reduced from 45.3 ± 7.0 kg/m2 preoperatively to 32.7 ± 6.9 kg/m2 postoperatively. Autonomous self-regulation was higher than externally controlled self-regulation, regarding motives to keep managing weight after SG. Postoperatively, %EWL correlated negatively with external self-regulation. SG was found to be associated with the quality of motivation for losing weight. External motivations were associated with worse results. These findings support the importance of multiprofessional teams in the assessment and treatment of patients, aiming for the promotion of weight self-regulation after bariatric surgery.

Abstract:
Psychology
Ph.D.
Currently, two-thirds of adults and one-half of children and adolescents in the United States meet criteria for overweight or obese weight status (Wang & Beydoun, 2007). While weight loss often is desired among these individuals, few achieve sustained weight loss maintenance. A model of motivation, affect, and long-term weight loss maintenance is proposed, based on Carver's model of behavior change (2004b) and related research. This investigation evaluated the model's proposed associations between approach and avoidance motivation, depressive and anxious affect, and caloric consumption within the context of a dietary lapse condition in the laboratory. Findings did not support the hypotheses that avoidance motivation would be negatively related to calorie consumption or that approach motivation would be positively associated with calorie consumption. Conversely, higher avoidance motivation was found to predict higher caloric consumption. Finally, this relationship was not mediated by depressive or anxious affect. Instead, consumption of high calorie foods alone was shown to fully mediate this relationship. Recommendations for future research are presented in the context of these findings.

Abstract:
Obesity is one of the most serious health problems facing modern society and strategies to address this pandemic have so far been ineffective. Although weight loss (WL) is achievable, prevention of weight regain is a major challenge. The overall aim of this thesis was to identify predictors of WL and weight loss maintenance (WLM) to promote better tailored and sustainable interventions. A systematic review evaluated the evidence from 80 studies examining predictors of WL and/or WLM in behavioural and/or dietary WL interventions (with or without exercise) in overweight and obese individuals. Aside from physiological factors such as initial weight loss, a number of personal characteristics broadly conceptualised as reflecting affective, cognitive, behavioural and motivational factors were acknowledged as potential predictors of WL and/or WLM. Affective (e.g. anxiety), behavioural (e.g. eating behaviour, self-monitoring, social support, physical activity, treatment adherence, previous WL attempts) and motivational factors (e.g. self-efficacy) were the strongest predictors identified. Study 1 assessed predictors of WL and WLM in free-living participants (N=71) who received healthy eating advice with (HE+F) or without (HE) advice to increase dietary fibre. Predictors of WL were age, body weight and body image at baseline (affective), fasting plasma leptin and disinhibition (behavioural) with some differences according to diet group. These also predicted WLM at 1 month follow-up. At 12 month follow-up, having a higher body weight at week 12 and greater depression (affective) at follow-up were associated with greater weight regain. Additionally, having stronger beliefs that medical reasons cause obesity (cognitive) and less stressful life events (affective) were associated with better WLM. Study 2 utilised an online survey and cluster analysis to examine affective, cognitive, behavioural and motivational factors in a real world setting with individuals (N=314), who had previously attempted to lose weight using different WL methods. Two distinct clusters were identified: less successful (Cluster 1) and more successful (Cluster 2). Cluster 2 was associated with lower emotional and external eating, lower disinhibition and higher restraint (behavioural), less depression, anxiety and stress (affective), and significantly higher diet satisfaction, eating self-efficacy (motivational) than Cluster 1. Study 3 examined predictors of WL in an NHS delivered 12 week community based weight management programme (N=22). Higher diet satisfaction, an improvement in body image and higher baseline body weight were significant predictors of WL. Based on the evidence presented in this thesis, there are clear personal characteristics which promote and sustain obesity. WL and WLM is clearly not just a problem of appetite control. Affective (stressful life events, body image, diet satisfaction and depression), behavioural (eating behaviour) and motivational factors (self-efficacy and motivation) were the most consistent psychological predictors of WL and/or WLM across all studies. Interventions should therefore target these personal characteristics in order to promote WL and prevent weight regain. The paucity of studies incorporating long-term follow-up shows that further research is needed to examine the role of affect, cognition, behaviour and motivation in the long term. A multidisciplinary approach to tackle obesity, which addresses psychological, social, environmental, and biological factors is essential to ensure comprehensive care, best practice and outcomes.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the acceptability and efficacy of Functional Imagery Training (FIT), a motivational intervention for weight-management. FIT is based on Elaborated Intrusion Theory, delivered in the style of Motivational interviewing (MI), and designed to promote sustained behaviour change and address cravings. It trains the habitual use of affective, goal-directed mental imagery of personal incentives, using imagery to plan behaviours, anticipate obstacles, and mentally try out solutions from previous successes. Participants are taught to update their imagery from their experience, and to generalise their imagery skills to new goals. In study 1, focus groups explored problems and wishes in regards to weight-management, including reactions to Functional Imagery Training (FIT) as a possible intervention. The issue of waning motivation and the desire for motivational app support was expressed in all groups. Participants were positive about FIT. Study 2 was an uncontrolled pilot trial of FIT. Eleven out of 17 participants (65%) lost 5% body weight or more by three months. Participants continued to lose weight during an unsupported 12-month period and experienced mean weight loss of 6kg (SD= 5.7; d=1.06) and mean waistline reduction of 11.5 cm (SD= 7.4; d=1.56) at 15 months. Study 3 compared the impact of FIT with MI on motivation and self-efficacy, over the first month of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) for weight-loss. Structured elicitation and training in goal-related imagery, i.e., FIT, increased motivation and self-efficacy for weight-loss relative to MI. Study 4 was the RCT for weight-loss, comparing FIT and MI over an intervention-supported six-month period, followed by six months unsupported. The FIT group achieved clinically meaningful weight-loss at 6 months (M kg-loss=4.11) and continued weight-loss at 12 months (M kg-loss=6.44); the MI group stabilised by 12 months (M kg-loss=.67), after minimal weight loss at 6 months (M kg-loss=.74). Study 5 qualitatively explored experiences of MI and FIT RCT participants, upon completing the 6-month intervention phase. MI participants wished for continued therapist- support and feared relapse. FIT participants described a mind-set-change and were confident they could maintain changes and overcome challenges using imagery techniques. Given the demonstrated benefit of motivational imagery in weight-control, FIT should be considered and further tested as an intervention for health behaviour change.

Abstract:
En del personer med övervikt vill gå ner i vikt, men det kan vara svårt att lyckas. Studiens syfte var att ta reda på deltagares upplevelse av sin viktminskning på Itrim. En kvalitativ studie med 9 personer, varav 7 kvinnor som deltagit i Itrims viktminskningsprogram intervjuades och datamaterialet analyserades genom meningskoncentrering. Enligt motivationsteorin Self-Determination Theory (SDT) så ökar sannolikheten för att beteendeförändringar blir bestående om de är autonoma och motivationen intern. Resultatet visade att deltagarna upplevde sin viktminskning som positiv och att Itrims koncept fungerar bra. Deltagarna motiverades genom olika uppsatta mål, använde sig av olika strategier och upplevde ett bra stöd. Genom att gå på ett viktminskningsprogram känner personerna en stark samhörighet och ser sig själva som en del av en helhet. De känner sig inte ensamma i sin situation. Svårast är beteendeförändringen då den tar tid och kräver energi, men till hjälp använder deltagarna egna personliga strategier.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine the extent to which coaching over the telephone is an effective method in promoting the loss of body weight and body fat percentage. Research Methods and Procedures: Over a period of four months, in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, 120 overweight and obese (BMI 25-35 kg/m²) adults either received telephone coaching or no coaching. In addition, each participant was randomly assigned to take a supplement or placebo daily. Body weight and body fat percentage were measured at baseline, two months, and four months. Body weight was measured on an electronic scale and body fat percentage was assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Participants in the coaching group each received a minimum of 10 coaching sessions, each at least one week apart. Age, gender, and supplement use were controlled statistically using partial correlation. Results: When using repeated measures ANOVA, telephone coaching had a significant and favorable effect on body weight loss over the three time periods when compared to participants who received no coaching (F = 3.9, p = 0.0216). Also, when weight changes from baseline to four months were compared, ignoring the two-month time period, those in the coaching group lost significantly more weight than their counterparts (F = 4.75, p = 0.0315). When weight changes from baseline were compared to the halfway mark (two months), telephone coaching resulted in significantly greater weight loss at the trend level (F = 3.42, p = 0.0671). However, during the second half of the study (two months compared to four months), the effect of coaching was weaker and non-significant. Controlling statistically for age, gender, and supplement use, individually and collectively, had no effect on the impact coaching had on body weight loss. Telephone coaching did not play a significant role in helping participants lose body fat percentage across the three time periods compared to those who received no coaching (F = 1.28, p = 0.2797). Similarly, baseline body fat percentage means contrasted with four-month means (F = 1.65, p = 0.2018) were not significant, and findings from the two halves of the study showed that telephone coaching did not have a significant effect on the loss of body fat percentage. Discussion: Telephone coaching is an effective and inexpensive method of helping overweight and obese adults lose body weight, but not body fat percentage, over a four-month period.

Abstract:
Almost half of Americans between 17 and 24 years of age are enrolled in higher education. College is an important life transition period when many young adults establish independence and adopt lasting behavior patterns, especially with regard to diet and physical activity. The first years of college are often associated with weight gain therefore making weight loss and weight gain prevention interventions necessary in this population. Behavioral weight loss programs (BWLP) have shown to be effective in adults, however, to our knowledge, there have been no reports of BWLP focused solely on college-aged young adults. This study compared a 10-week online behavioral weight loss program to a 10-week face-to-face program on the main outcomes of weight loss, change in body fat percentage, and change in physical activity among college students. Correlates of weight loss including self-monitoring, social support, attendance, selfefficacy, and motivation were also examined. Results showed motivation decreased over time, motivation was positively correlated with weight loss, and self- efficacy increased over time.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces a context-appropriate mobile application for sustainable weight loss. Overweight and obesity are acknowledged to have become a worldwide health matter. Addressing weight loss and sustaining efforts remains in many ways a fragile undertaking. Strategies will vary by age group, gender, and social context. Moreover, the cultural, traditional ecosystem will impact weight loss strategies. In this chapter, the authors discuss contributions in the literature for technology-based weight loss support. They design a mobile application that leverages three strategies from proven behaviour change theories (increasing awareness of the aims of dieting, fostering motivation and self-efficacy, and impacting dieters’ attitudes). They adapt the application to the local context of a Middle Easterner’s society by conducting a usability testing experiment with potential users of the application. The authors also apply principles of localization to derive an appropriate application. Beyond the applied usage of the application, the chapter contributes to the currently scarce body of literature on Arabic-based mobile development.

Abstract:
Weight management can be aided by behavior management therapies, although weight is frequently regained. To avoid this, available interventions are necessary. Researchers did a comprehensive evaluation and integration of qualitative studies on people\'s weight control and sustaining perspectives. They looked for descriptive studies examining the reality of presently or formerly overweight individuals striving to sustain weight loss in bibliographic databases. Researchers developed the model of weight loss maintenance by thematically aggregating study data. There were 16 studies with 610 individuals from 5 nations. Because of the requirement to overcome established behaviors and the incompatibility of the new behaviors with the satisfaction of emotional factors, the model generated via our integration posits that implementing the action modifications essential for weight loss stability generates psychological “stress.” This stress must be managed or resolved for successful maintenance. Self-regulation, motivation renewal, and regulating influences can all help with stress management, while it can take a lot of work. Changes in behavior, nonobesogenic means of fulfilling needs, and maybe a shift in self-concept can all help with recovery.

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors discuss and analyze medicalized attitudes that equate “excess weight” with disease. They point out that such frameworks are dominant not only in clinics and public health programs worldwide now but also across numerous sociocultural contexts in countries like the United States. The authors take a critical approach to assumptions that conflate obesity with a diseased and risky state and to the problematic biological measurements that underpin obesity and overweight “diagnoses.” At the same time, the authors also draw extensively on their ethnographic data to show that for the people who came to the clinic seeking bariatric surgery, weight did indeed feel risky, diseased, and burdensome. When asked, individuals overwhelmingly cited medical conditions as motivating reasons for considering bariatric surgery.

Abstract:
The number of obese people around the world is increasing alarmingly and a sedentary lifestyle is one of the causes. This work aims to plan a weekly group mentoring, which will be carried out through the Google Meet digital platform. The research justifies the fact that it was identified a difficulty for individuals to create the habit and institute physical activity in their daily routine.. The lack of time, incentive and motivation are the main barriers encountered. In view of this problem, a group intervention was proposed, in the mentoring format, lasting 04 (four) months, in which participants will be able to share their experiences and difficulties during the weekly meetings, as well as participate in lectures with a professional from the physical education area. At the end of the experiment, it is expected that everyone has understood that the motivational factor has a great relevance to keep them focused within the project of instituting physical activity as part of their routine. The application of this work will help people look for a way to stay motivated to exercise, as this new lifestyle significantly reduces the health risks related to obesity, also contributing to weight control and loss, decreased anxiety. and improved self-esteem.

Abstract:
The stigmatization of people with obesity is widespread and causes harm. Weight stigma is often propagated and tolerated in society because of beliefs that stigma and shame will motivate people to lose weight. However, rather than motivating positive change, this stigma contributes to behaviors such as binge eating, social isolation, avoidance of health care services, decreased physical activity, and increased weight gain, which worsen obesity and create additional barriers to healthy behavior change. Furthermore, experiences of weight stigma also dramatically impair quality of life, especially for youth. Health care professionals continue to seek effective strategies and resources to address the obesity epidemic; however, they also frequently exhibit weight bias and stigmatizing behaviors. This policy statement seeks to raise awareness regarding the prevalence and negative effects of weight stigma on pediatric patients and their families and provides 6 clinical practice and 4 advocacy recommendations regarding the role of pediatricians in addressing weight stigma. In summary, these recommendations include improving the clinical setting by modeling best practices for nonbiased behaviors and language; using empathetic and empowering counseling techniques, such as motivational interviewing, and addressing weight stigma and bullying in the clinic visit; advocating for inclusion of training and education about weight stigma in medical schools, residency programs, and continuing medical education programs; and empowering families to be advocates to address weight stigma in the home environment and school setting.

Abstract:
A zero inlet swirl turbine rotor (ZISTR) is originally presented as the first stage in a multistage vaneless counter-rotating turbine (MVCT), which only consists of 4 rotors without any vanes. The vanes upstream of a ZISTR are removed to reduce the turbine weight and length, as well as the viscous losses and coolants associated with vanes. However, due to the lack of inlet swirl the stagger angles for ZISTR blade profiles are high and the blade deflections are very small, resulting in almost straight cambers and very thin airfoils. The motivation of this paper is to reveal the overall performance and key loss sources of a ZISTR associated with its special blade profile, and provide corresponding optimization approaches for its practical usages. The 3D viscous numerical results show that the wake, the suction side trailing edge shock and the tip leakage flow have substantial influence on the rotor performance. To optimize the performance of a ZISTR, reducing blade solidity is proposed to decrease the viscous and shock losses by increasing the portion of the inviscid mainstream. Leaned blade is also presented to restrict the tip leakage flow by adjusting the axial position of stagnation points on the blade profile, obtaining an increase in efficiency of 0.9%. The off-design performance of the optimized rotor is also presented to show the effect of the blade lean on efficiency at various rotating speeds and back pressures.

Abstract:
Multitask learning aims at solving a set of related tasks simultaneously, by exploiting the shared knowledge for improving the performance on individual tasks. Hence, an important aspect of multitask learning is to understand the similarities within a set of tasks. Previous works have incorporated this similarity information explicitly (e.g., weighted loss for each task) or implicitly (e.g., adversarial loss for feature adaptation), for achieving good empirical performances. However, the theoretical motivations for adding task similarity knowledge are often missing or incomplete. In this paper, we give a different perspective from a theoretical point of view to understand this practice. We first provide an upper bound on the generalization error of multitask learning, showing the benefit of explicit and implicit task similarity knowledge. We systematically derive the bounds based on two distinct task similarity metrics: H divergence and Wasserstein distance. From these theoretical results, we revisit the Adversarial Multi-task Neural Network, proposing a new training algorithm to learn the task relation coefficients and neural network parameters iteratively. We assess our new algorithm empirically on several benchmarks, showing not only that we find interesting and robust task relations, but that the proposed approach outperforms the baselines, reaffirming the benefits of theoretical insight in algorithm design.
