Summary of key findings.

	QUANT results (questionnaires + body measurements)	QUAL results (face-to-face interviews)
Pre-measurements	Correlations: Expectation, efficacy, and motivation levels correlate with each other, but not with post or follow-up measures	Themes: Enabling vs. disabling pre-talk about target, physical activity, change approach, self-talk, motives, future when exposed to the concepts of expectation, efficacy, and motivation
Post-measurements	Correlations: Motivation type—goal achievement BMI change—goal achievement Goal achievement—maintained change T-test: Achievement of physical activity goals and eating behavior goals are more important for maintaining change than weight goals and other goals	Clarify that goal orientation during the intervention leads to maintained change Enabling pre-interview talk turned out to be extracted from interviews with participants reporting successful immediate (and maintained change). Disabling pre-interview talk turned out to be extracted from interviews with participants not responding to follow-up
Follow-up measurements	Correlations: Goal achievement—maintained change	Themes associated with maintained change: Not cheating during intervention Paying attention to gains with the new behavior Continuing to see change as a determination issue Enjoying physical activity Planning for the future Using the achieved results for further motivation to maintain the desired behavior
