Maybe you’ve heard that oft-cited statistic that, of all people who go on a weight loss program, 95% regain all that weight. In other words, only 5% succeed at both losing excess weight & keeping it off.
Well, curious about that statistic, the Amazing Shrinking Mom did some investigation, & things look not quite so bleak after all. Looks like that famous 95% stat originated with a particular study of a small sample of dieter in the 1950s, & that it’s been cited unquestioningly ever since. But other, later studies are more optimistic.
For details, see the Amazing Shrinking Mom’s post, “About That Ninety-Five Percent Failure Rate”.
It’s an old study.
20% keep the weight off I think weight watchers has 28%
I would like to see that 28% turn to %52 one day 🙂
