This quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate the effects of a weight control support program among students with overweight in primary school in the municipal area of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The sample included 72 overweight and pre-obese students in 4th to 6th grade from two schools. Multi-stage sampling divided each school’s sample into an experimental group (n=36) and a control group (n=36). The experimental group received social support for weight control in which nurses, friends, teachers, and parents encouraged dietary control and increased physical activities for 12 weeks while the control group continued its normal activities. The research instruments included a supporting weight control program, an assessment of daily calories for dietary consumption, and physical activity. The students were weighed before and after the trial period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and independent t-test. The results revealed as follows.
1. After the program, in the experimental group, mean of body weight decreased from 81 kilograms (SD=8.05) to 45.96 kilograms (SD=7.56) with statistical significance (p<.05).
2. After the program, in the control group, mean of body weight increased from 44 kilograms (SD=6.84) to 53.04 kilograms (SD=6.58) with statistical significance (p<.05).
3. The weight changes in the experimental group was statistically higher than in the control group (p<.05).
