Participants will be provided with a scale and instructions necessary to engage in daily self-weighing, first thing in the morning for the next three months.

Height and weight will be measured using standard procedures

Questionnaires will be administered at baseline and EOT: Sociodemographic questions (i.e. age, race/ethnicity, self-weighing frequency, weight goals will be collected at baseline. To assess factors that may modify reaction to intervention condition,a questionnaire will assess participant's eating attitudes, behaviors, and perception of their body.

Questionnaires (baseline, end of Week 1, 2, 3, 4 and EOT): In order to compare results with published studies assessing constructs over varying time frames, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression will be measured at baseline, weekly for the first month, and again at EOT.

Participants will be provided with a thermometer and instructions necessary to engage in daily temperature-taking, first thing in the morning for the next three months.

Participants are provided with a wifi-enabled scale and asked to weigh themselves daily, first thing in the morning.

1. Daily self-weighing will result in significantly greater reactivity than daily-temperature-taking
2. There will be no significance in mood ratings between daily self-weighing and daily temperature-taking groups for EMA recordings later in the day.
3. The daily self-weighing group will report significantly more weight control behaviors at the end of the day as compared to the daily temperature-taking group.

1. Participants with lower baseline dietary restraint scores will experience significantly greater success in preventing weight gain over 3 months in response to daily self-weighing as compared to daily temperature-taking, in comparison to those with higher baseline dietary restraint scores
2. Participants with higher baseline body satisfaction, lower body consciousness, and higher-self esteem will have significantly more favorable reactions to daily self-weighing, both in terms of momentary mood and prevention of weight gain over 3 months
3. Baseline weight status will moderate the effectiveness of daily self-weighing as a weight gain prevention tool, such that it will work significantly better for overweight patients.
