Join the National Weight Loss Registry

A lot of the research on how people successfully keep weight off (and how many people don't) comes from the National Weight Loss Registry study. I know from reading the forums that many of you could join - and you should.

You need to have lost 30 pounds and have kept if off a year. To register, start here: http://www.nwcronline.com/join.aspx. They just ask you to confirm your eligibility and your name and address.

They will send you paper forms and surveys to complete your entry into the study.

Welcome!

    My goal for last year was to keep the 30 pounds off so I could register this year. Which I did!

    2 more months and I'll be eligible to register.
    It will be (another) good reason to stay on target with my maintenance.

    Oh, how cool! I'll be eligible in April. Yay!

    Actually, I did technically lose 30 lbs by a year ago today, but I didn't hit maintenance until April. I'm not sure of the technicality of that but I wouldn't consider myself eligible until April, I suppose.

    I lost 30 pounds by last January but didn't hit maintenance until June. But I registered - they didn't say maximum weight loss, just 30 pounds lost. One of the things they are studying is how long it takes to lose - so they have people who have continued to lose over 14 years.

    If that's the case I can register later this year. i need to figure out when I lost 30 lbs by. Still, that's unreal and so exciting.

    Eta: Looks like May 30th is the date... super cool!

    70 pound weight loss has been maintained for 1 year and 4 months now. :) Hopefully this year will be the one where I lose those last stubborn 10 pounds...

    130+ pounds lost, 16 months of maintenance. I joined the registry about six months ago and have done a couple surveys. Great to have the "check in."

    That's why I want to join-I think it's a great maintenance tool :smile:

    And congrats on your loss and successful maintenance!
