The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological benefits of chronic exercise as
well as the effects of exercise training on eating behaviors and stress-induced overeating in
overweight and obese women. Participants will be randomized to an 12-week exercise condition
or a delayed exercise condition. Assessments will occur at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks
and will include answering surveys in real-time using smartphones, several assessments of
eating behaviors and dietary intake, and questionnaire measures of factors which could
mediate the relationship between exercise and eating. Participants will be compensated for
completing assessments and for adherence to the exercise protocol.
