Abstract

Study ImportanceWhat is already known?Many long‐term successful weight loss maintainers regain some weight and can have difficulty reversing regains.What does this study add?Reengaging with weight loss efforts following regain was common in weight loss maintainers, and most restarted efforts after regaining 4 kg or more.Individuals with less regain and those who had better scores on dietary choices, self‐monitoring, and psychological coping strategies scales had greater success reversing weight regain.How might these results change the focus of clinical practice?Weight loss reengagement efforts should occur after small weight regains and include a focus on diet, self‐monitoring, and coping.INTRODUCTIONAlthough weight loss maintainers have many similar characteristics [1], they are not a homogenous group and have different types of experiences with maintaining their reduced weight over time [2, 3]. Even among successful weight loss maintainers, many experience weight fluctuations and gradual, albeit partial, regain over time [1–3]. In the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), individuals who had lost an average of 30 kg and kept it off for 5.7 years were followed over time.
