a Success clusters based on percent weight change during phase 1 (T0–T1) and phase 2 (T1–T3); b,c significant difference (p < 0.05) between moderate and high success clusters derived from univariable multinomial logistic regression analyses. Chi-square analyses revealed no statistically significant differences between the clusters.
