TL;DR
Investigation subjects showed significant decreases in depressive symptoms over time, relative to control subjects, and this effect was observed for normal-weight, as well as heavier, subjects.
Abstract
The current study found no evidence of negative psychological sequelae of participation in a behavioral lifestyle change program, regardless of weight status. Results further suggest that participation in these types of programs may exert a positive influence on the psychological status of both normal-weight and heavier women.
