Default Survey invitation from a PennState faculty member
Hi, my name is Karen Buhr and I am a faculty member in the School of Public Affairs at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) Harrisburg. My research assistant and I are conducting a study regarding online weight loss experiences. I have been in touch with the moderators of this forum and they have given me permission to post this here.

The purpose of this research study is to explore how the use of internet resources and online support groups help individuals with weight loss. Advances in technology have made online resources and websites more accessible and convenient to use. However, research is limited regarding the benefits online support groups focusing on weight loss may have. The goal of this study is to further examine the benefits, experiences, and attitudes of individuals using online websites and weight loss support groups.

Your participation can help us show the academic and policy making world the importance of this type of weight loss resource. I thank you very much for your help and participation in our research study!

Please access the survey here: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/SE/?...tqU0Oo5bu9Ukux

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please feel free to contact me through email or phone (details are included at the beginning of the survey).

Done! I can't believe you left My Fitness Pal out of the survey, that is a huge site for tracking calories and talking with others about weight loss.

I wrote it in where I could, since I use that for tracking but I like the forums at 3FC better. I always forget something big too

Done! Very interesting survey. I found the part about rating what was difficult for yourself to be beneficial for self-refleciton purposes.

Done and done! I love this line of research! I work in cardiac medicine in Western PA, and I have (obviously) my own weight issues, so this research is very near and dear to me.

I started to fill it out but right off I notice that you do not give this forum as an option from which to access the survey. You show it as 3fatchicksonadiet dot come... I went to that site and it is something totally different.

Done. There wasn't an option to choose New Zealand as my country, so I left it blank...assuming someone from NZ can fill it in? :smile:
