%X Emerging adults are at high risk of obesity but behavioral weight loss programs do not meet their needs. Emerging adults (N£¿=£¿52, age£¿=£¿22.3£¿¡À£¿2£¿years, body mass index£¿=£¿34.2£¿¡À£¿5.5£¿kg/m2, 46.2% non-Hispanic White) were randomly assigned to one of three behavioral weight loss programs adapted based on formative work: face-to-face behavioral weight loss, web-based behavioral weight loss, or web plus optional community sessions (Hybrid). Assessments occurred at 0 and 3£¿months. Engagement and self-monitoring were highest in Hybrid. Intent-to-treat weight losses were £¿2.8£¿¡À£¿2.9£¿percent in face-to-face behavioral weight loss, £¿2.2£¿¡À£¿4.5£¿percent in web-based behavioral weight loss, and 4.8£¿¡À£¿4.9£¿percent in Hybrid. Percent achieving £¿5£¿percent weight loss was highest in Hybrid (63%). Findings suggest potential for adapted behavioral weight loss to promote engagement and weight loss in emerging adults
