Daily PA level and intensity will be objectively measured in postpartum women by use of a wrist worn physical activity tracker (i.e. Fitbit). Body weight will be measured at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postpartum. The participants will be categorized by BMI at the initial visit (3-month time point) into normal weight and overweight/obese groups in order to evaluate the impact of body size on PA and weight loss during the postpartum period.en-USPhysical activityPostpartumAccelerometersBMIPhysical activity intensityWeight lossWeight retentionCollection
