In general, weight loss was associated
with increased, positive self-concept
over the duration of the program,
and those subjects who were relatively
high in self-concept at the beginning
of the program tended to
lose a greater percentage of their
excess weight. The TSCS sub-score
(which stands out as a significant
predictor of successful weight loss)
is the behavior component of the physical self score.
