Once on the site, users could chat with other【C9】______of the study in a kind of mini-Facebook setting.
    The site was designed to mimic as much as possible what it’s like to be in a weight-loss program that offers【C10】______counseling and group meetings. It wasn’t quite as effective as human-to-human interaction, but it was better than nothing at all.
