Interventions
Participants enrolled in the E-Moms group will receive a personalized dietary prescription to promote weight loss and arrive at pregravid weight by 6 months postpartum. Our weight loss intervention will incorporate standard WIC nutritional advice and will encouraged 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity activity, which is about 3,000 - 4,000 steps/day above baseline, as recommended for maintenance of healthy weight. Each participant will be assigned a trained weight management counselor who will provide frequent recommendations and advice and support at least once per week.
