Is this sentence correct?
She is willing to do anything in an effort to lose weight.

You can use 'in an effort' and 'in an attempt' here and be correct. Endeavour could be used, but wouldn't sound natural. It's like a more formal word and would tend to be used in a more formal sentence structure e.g.. Endeavouring to lose weight she is willing to do almost anything..
