Behavioural and psychological pretreatment predictors of short- and long-term weight loss among women with overweight and obesity.

CONCLUSIONS: Previous weight loss attempts were identified as the most efficient pretreatment predictor of 12-month weight loss. Eating disinhibition, weight-related quality of life, self-esteem, weight loss expectations, exercise self-efficacy, and weight locus of control seem to be key factors for long-term success.
