You've heard the evil stat: "95% regain lost weight."
That's why I've been hanging out here during maintenance. To keep myself on track. If I can maintain for a year, that's considered "long term" by some.
New study:
Obese people can maintain stable weight loss
This study shows that if an overweight person is able to maintain an initial weight loss – in this case for a year – the body will eventually ‘accept’ this new weight and thus not fight against it, as is otherwise normally the case when you are in a calorie-deficit state....
Interesting idea that the body "recalibrates" after a year or so. Other studies suggest that hunger hormones keep nagging you for up to 7 years. Time will tell.

How does your maintenance differ from your weight loss regimen? (Just wondering, someday I'll be in maintenance too
) 0 -
The first step for me was to simply stop logging and to eat to satisfy hunger. Not much has changed in terms of what I eat or even quantities.
Yogurt (full-fat, of course) is the only conscious addition -- just to ensure a bit more calcium than I was getting.2
