Sperimentale: Group (GRP) phone counseling
The group phone counseling includes 26 bi-weekly phone sessions from 6 to 18 months and focuses on group problem-solving.
Women continue in the same group as in weight loss intervention phase.

Comparatore attivo: Mail-based Comparison Condition
Participants in this group will receive a newsletter by mail every other week for 12 months starting after the initial 6 month weight loss period.
The newsletters will provide problem-solving tips and will review nutrition and physical activity information.

Quality of life
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months
|
Compare the effects of treatment conditions on aspects of quality of life important for breast cancer survivorship, including general physical, social, and emotional well-being, fatigue, arthralgia, lymphedema symptoms, menopausal symptoms, and depressive symptoms.
|
Baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months

Breast cancer risk biomarkers
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 6 and 18 months
|
Examine the association of weight change with changes in selected breast cancer risk biomarkers, including bioavailable estradiol, testosterone, and fasting insulin.
Examine whether modulation of biomarkers is sustained during weight loss maintenance.

Cost effectiveness
Lasso di tempo: 18 months
|
Compare the incremental cost-effectiveness of weight loss maintenance (kg below baseline) between group and control conditions.
Costs include fixed and variable provider costs (facility, time, phone charges, supplies) and fixed and variable participant costs (time, out-of-pocket expenses).
