aFixed effects: time period; random effects: distance to goal weight and user ID.

bFixed effects: time period and distance to goal weight; random effects: user ID.

cFixed effects: time period and distance to goal weight; random effects: user ID.

dCoefficients represent mean differences between the three time periods.
