The investigators will test the efficacy of a tailored behavioral lifestyle modification
program to support cardiovascular health in postpartum women with excessive gestational
weight gain. This program will include a mobile health texting component postpartum to
support changes in nutrition and physical activity. The investigators will randomize women
into either the control arm (usual care) or the intervention (usual care + mobile health
program postpartum). The women will be recruited during their 3rd trimester once they have
been identified as gaining too much weight according to the 2009 IOM guidelines during
pregnancy.
