Title: Prevention and Reduction of Obesity Through Active Living
Brief Summary: We will perform a randomized, controlled trial, the primary aim of which is to assess the effectiveness of a behavioral-based physical activity program in the prevention and treatment of obesity and related co-morbid conditions in a primary care setting. We hypothesize that the prevention and/or reduction of obesity and related co-morbidities in patients randomized to an individualized education and behavior counseling group will be greater by comparison to those randomized to a group that receives standard care alone.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women between 25 and 65 years of age.
* Sedentary lifestyle (planned physical activity for the purpose of health one day per week or less).
* Abdominally obese (waist circumference greater than 88 and 102 cm for women and men respectively).
* Weight stable (± 2 kg) for 6 months prior to the beginning of the study.
* BMI between 25 and 34.9 kg/m2 (Because a lifestyle-based intervention alone for obesity reduction is ideal for persons with a BMI greater less than 35, and, that 94% of overweight and obese Canadian adults have a BMI between 25 and 34.9 kg/m2, subjects with a BMI 35 or greater will be excluded).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Physical impairment which would make the intervention very difficult, or unsafe according to the patient's physician including history of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty in the last 6 months; peripheral artery disease, unstable angina or ischemia, uncontrolled or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
* Alcohol consumption \> 21 drinks per week.
* Plans to move from the area.
* Participating in another research study.
* Clinically judged to be unsuitable for participation or adherence
* Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent.
* For women, planned pregnancy in the next 3 years.
B: Participation as a volunteer in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP).
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* female (25-50 years old)
* pre-menopausal
* BMI between 25 and 40 kg/m2
* willing to attend weekly meetings (during 1 year)
* willing to not participate in other formal or informal weight loss program during the first year of the study (intervention group only).

Exclusion Criteria:

* major/chronic illness
* taking (or having taken in the previous year) medication known to interfere with body weight regulation, including anti-depressive medication
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Able to read/understand English at or above a level sufficient to comprehend recruitment and intervention materials
* BMI greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 but less than 40 kg/m2
* Fasting blood glucose 95-125 mg/dl (inclusive)
* Willingness to Accept Randomization

Exclusion Criteria:

* Currently involved in a supervised program for weight loss
* Clinical history of DM, or newly diagnosed DM at screening
* Clinical history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurring within the past 6 months, including myocardial infarction, angina, coronary revascularization, stroke, TIA, carotid revascularization, peripheral arterial disease, and congestive heart failure
* Uncontrolled high blood pressure: BP \> 160/100
* Pregnancy, breast feeding, or planning pregnancy within 2 years
* Other chronic disease likely to limit lifespan to less than 2-3 years, including any cancer requiring treatment in past 5 years except non-melanoma skin cancer
* Chronic use of medicine known to significantly affect glucose metabolism, e.g., corticosteroids
* Conditions/criteria likely to interfere with participation and acceptance of randomized assignment, including the following: inability/unwillingness to give informed consent, another household member already randomized to HELP PD, major psychiatric or cognitive problems (schizophrenia, dementia, self-reported active illegal substance or alcohol abuse), and participation in another research study that would interfere with HELP PD
