Adaptive step recommendation
Participants in this group receive 3 education sessions: at baseline, at 3 months and at 6 months. The adaptive recommendation will update the participant's recommended step count attainment from 7,000 to 8,000, then 10,000 steps/day. The SMS-based self-monitoring system will collect three data points each day from participants in this group: 1) total number of steps/d recorded by the pedometer during the previous day (steps/d); 2) performance on 2nd weight loss goal; and 3) performance on 3rd weight loss goal.
10,000 step/day recommendation
Participants will receive a standard 10,000 step/day recommendation and 3 education sessions: at baseline, at 3 months and at 6 months.
