Background New Moves is a program targeting adolescent female schoolchildren who suffer from excessive weight and who are or are about to become obese. The program is designed to promote a healthy lifestyle through the development of helpful habits in the target populations. New Moves originates in the United States and is funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). The majority of the target population is from low-income families since these individuals tend to face the problem of excessive weight more often. That is why the dietary and lifestyle alternatives offered to the target populations are to be affordable and easy to implement. Apart from targeting healthy diet and active lifestyle changes, the program is also designed to help adolescent school girls address emotional issues caused by excessive weight (e. g. low self-esteem, social isolation, stress, anxieties, depression). New Moves has been rated as an effective intervention for obesity in teenagers (Neumark-Sztainer, et al., 2010). It is also easy to adopt and put into practice. The program is delivered in schools during physical education class over a term of nine months and is adjustable to the curriculum. New Moves program personnel also provides a structured, interactive, follow-up program to enforce and maintain behavioral changes. Students build a plan and attend to it independently with support and motivation by the tutors. The instructors’ role is to teach classes focused on diet and exercises for the target students, and also to conduct individual counseling and support sessions once or twice a week to build up the students’ self-esteem.
