    I have gained and lost so many times, usually around 2 year mark I start putting it back on. With MFP, I have had my weight off for three years this Feb but have gained about 10 pounds back, I am ok with that because I lost 40 lbs. Hope to get this off. Done better with MFP than WW or anything else. Maintenance is definitely a life style and I have surprised myself how I have learned to eat better and healthier.

    10 pounds isn't that much so you'll get those off in no time.

    Congratulations! A year of maintaining is awesome.

    I've maintained my goal weight for a number of years and it's great not to have to monitor every bite I take. I do continue to watch what I eat and log on a regular basis, albeit somewhat more casually. I lost weight on 1500 calories a day. I'm also usually very active. However, over the past three months I've been pretty sedentary due to recovering from a number of injuries and it was nice to weigh in at my doctor today to find I only gained a pound, which puts me at 3 lb below the low end of my range. Everyone has different bodies and metabolisms, and what works for one person may not work for someone else, but everyone has the potential to succeed. The other thing to remember is that chronological age is not an indicator of anything.

    Congratulations! You are not eligible to join the National Weight Loss Registry, which tries to find out how people keep weight off successfully. Google it. It was one of my goals to join and I still find it motiviating.
