The Fast In-Bed Tracking System (FIT) Weight Scale
It is hypothesized that wheelchair users who are randomized into the FIT Weight Scales group will lose a significantly greater percent of body weight over time (6 months, 12 months) than wheelchair users randomized to the control group.
Group Lifestyle Balance Adapted for Individuals with Impaired Mobility (GLB-AIM) intervention
The GLB-AIM is a direct adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) - Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB) which has successfully yielded an average 6 percent weight loss at 12 months and reduced diabetes risk over 2.8 years by 58 percent, which was 39 percent lower than participants randomized to the metformin group. The GLB-AIM which has been proven feasible and effective in a pilot study and a randomized control trial (RCT) with 67 mobility impaired individuals randomized to the intervention group or a waitlist control group. There were significant between group differences in weight loss at 6 months (-1.7 kg loss vs 0.05 kg gain, p \<0.05) and combined results from both groups after receiving the intervention revealed an average weight loss at 12 months of 3.3 percent of their starting weight. Notably, the average loss was lower than the 5 to 7 percent achieved by diverse participants in the DPP-GLB trials.
