    I had never heard of it, until I just read about it. I don't agree. How else are people able to lose and maintain that loss, for years.

    They may have been above set point and the loss returned them to set point. They may be continually practicing some restriction in order to overcome set point. The loss may be within a set point range. Or set point may not be a good explanation of human weight processes.

    For the past 7-10 years, 245-255 seems to be my range. I've worked hard, but 245 is as low as I go. That was working out 4 times a week, in a 500-600 calorie deficit, getting proper sleep and eating healthier. I tried cutting more calories, but it made me feel so weak and I had a hard time thinking and focusing. So yes, I believe there is a set point for me at least. I try to stay at 250lbs these days . 6'4", big frame/build, athletic.
