Some correlates of the maintenance of weight lost through behavior modification
1978
Stuart, Richard B. | Guire, Kenneth
Extract: Using a mail and in-class distributed survey, data were collected from 721 members of Weight Watchers classes some 15 months after they reached their goal weights. Those who maintained their goal weight, as opposed to those who regained, tended to have several things in common: they attended classes after reaching goal weight in the same locations and with the same lecturers that assisted their weight loss; they had lower initial weights: they conceived of themselves as "overweight" when they were approximately three pounds above goal; they had improved self-concepts; they made more lifestyle changes supporting weight maintenance; and they continued, after goal, use of many of the techniques used to reach goal weight.
