Mothers in Motion Program to Prevent Weight Gain in WIC Mothers (MIM)

Mothers in Motion will draw on the successes of the pilot intervention of the same name and will promote healthy lifestyle behavior changes (eating more fruits and vegetables, increasing physical activity, dealing with stress) in low-income WIC mothers of young children. The intervention group's weight change (difference between the initial enrollment and 3 months post intervention) will differ from the control group's weight change by an average of at least 2.8 pounds.
