Weight gain prevention messaging may be sufficient to initiate weight loss in a subset of young adults who are heavier and closer to their highest weight at baseline. Psychological and behavioral characteristics more consistent with weight loss may explain differences in weight outcomes between losers and maintainers at 3 years. Future studies may consider the effects of weight gain prevention versus weight loss messaging in tailoring weight control interventions for young adults.
