Maintenance Hall of Fame

Options
Hey there,

With the influx of new folks from Sparkpeople, I thought I'd welcome any maintainers from over here to join our Maintenance Hall of Fame:

Not only is it super helpful for folks on the way to losing weight to see that maintenance is possible, but folks from this group will know how helpful it is to be able to see how other maintainers are doing. :)

We also celebrate maintenance anniversaries!

Here are the people on the list who have anniversaries in September:

These are important milestones!

- The likelihood of regaining weight when you reach goal is 80%+ to 95% (various sources).
- When you've maintained for 2 years the likelihood of regain drops to 50%.*
- When you've maintained for 5 years the likelihood of regain drops to 27%!*
