Higher program website engagement (meeting a login goal of ≥90 logins in 3 months) significantly decreases the odds of early dropout.
Consistently logging into your weight-loss program's website (aiming for daily logins) is one of the best ways to ensure you stay in the program. If you find yourself skipping logins, it is a warning sign that you might drop out soon.
