Figure 2.

Participants who reported an average of at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week or attended at least 21 sessions during the program had a 50% success rate in achieving the 5% weight loss goal. The steep slope of the line indicates that increasing the physical activity to more than 150 minutes is associated with significantly higher success rates. Similarly, attending 21 sessions is associated with a 50% success rate, but the slope of the line indicates that increasing attendance to more than 21 sessions is associated with much higher success rates.

Success rates for achievement of 5% weight-loss goal among 165 participants in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) Faculty and Staff Health and Wellness Diabetes Prevention Program, 2014–2017. The red dotted line (A) indicates 150 minutes of physical activity and the blue dotted line (B) indicates 21 sessions. The points at which the red and blue dotted lines intersect with the solid green line indicate 50% success rates.
