AB  - Participation in a lifestyle change program operated by the Veterans' Administration (VA) was associated with modest but sustained weight loss, according to results studying the MOVE! program. It is the largest lifestyle change program in the United States; however, <10% of the 402,693 veterans involved in this program met the VA's criteria for “intense and sustained” participation (ie, they participated in =8 sessions over 6 months, with at least 129 days between the first and last session attended).
