Recently researchers have published the studies to follow weight loss maintenance for individuals over a 10-year period.

The results show that long-term weight loss maintenance is possible if individuals adhere to key health behaviors.

For example, one is a 10-year observational study of self-reported weight loss and behavior change in nearly 3,000 participants.

The participants had lost at least 30 pounds and had kept if off for at least one year when they were enrolled in the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR).

The participants were then followed for 10 years.

Researchers said, On average, participants maintained the majority of their weight loss over this extended follow-up period, and better success was related to continued performance of physical activity, self-weighing, low-fat diets, and avoiding overeating.

Other findings show that more than 87 percent of the participants were estimated to be still maintaining at least a 10 percent weight loss at years five and 10.

A larger initial weight loss and longer duration of maintenance were associated with better long-term outcomes.

Conversely, decreases in physical activity, dietary restraint and self-weighing along with increases in fat intake were associated with greater weight regain.

Researchers conclude, This is one of the only studies to follow weight loss maintenance over such a long term.

What the results tell us is that long-term weight loss maintenance is possible, but it requires persistent adherence to a few key health behaviors.
