I recently came across the National Weight Control Registry (http://www.nwcr.ws/), the largest prospective investigation of long-term, successful weight loss maintenance. It identifies and tracks the characteristics of more than 5,000 people who have succeeded at long-term weight loss. Some habits of these winning "losers" include: watching fewer than 10 hours of TV a week; limiting calories to 1,800 a day; eating a low-fat diet; and walking about an hour a day, or burning the equivalent calories. I have some of these habits, but could probably learn from these people. Were you aware of the National Weight Control Registry? What do you think about it?

No I didn't know there was such a thing.

I think it's a good thing if all it does is keep up with things that work long term.

I have lost weight many times in my life but always regained and those pounds always brought friends along with them.
To me a successful weight loss is one that lasts for a lifetime.
so I'm
glad that there is a place I can go to see how to keep it off once it's off.
