What is the Longest Period of time U kept weight off after successfully completing a diet? How did you keep the weight off?

The longest for me was 15 years. Then I slipped back into bad eating habits. I wish that MFP had been around years ago. MFP is a great plan for maintenance.

    8 years give or take a few kilos (my weight fluctuates a little but I have a pretty good handle on it) Went from 113kg down to a healthy weight and never gained it back.

    Can be done.

    Two years and counting :)
    My maintenance Plan-
    -16:8IF (my eating window is 11am-7pm)
    -semi-regular calorie tracking here on MFP (aim to do 4-5 times a week)
    -weigh most of my food on a food scale when I'm at home, and always measure out portion sizes
    -daily weigh-ins, which I track on a phone app
    -I eat out a lot and I ALWAYS check the restaurant site before we go, to get nutritional/calorie info on what I'm going to eat

    That's about it :)
