This is a cluster-randomized study that will test the iAmHealthy Healthy Lifestyles Program versus a standard approach to weight loss in kids current in 2nd thru 4th grade. The iAmHealthy Healthy Lifestyles Program utilizes mobile tools to deliver the weight loss program to kids and families in rural settings. This study will include kids from schools in rural cities/counties, and their parents, and they will be randomly assigned to a group by their school. The iAmHealthy Healthy Lifestyles Program is a rurally tailored telemedicine intervention. It delivers behavioral, nutritional, and physical activity topics for kids and their families. The total length of the intervention will be about 8 months, which coincides with the length of a typical school year.
