Weight loss success rate?


Question:
does anybody know the success rate of weight loss and keeping it off for weightwatchers customers?

Answers:
excerpts from weightwatchers.com

Also released were five-year results. While the NIH review indicated that "almost all" weight loss is regained by the five-year mark, in contrast, this new study showed that at the end of five years, an average of 69% (self-reported) and 50% (adjusted) of the participants’ weight loss was maintained. [SEE NOTE]

NOTE: Weight Watchers makes no claim that these results are representative of all participants in the Weight Watchers program. For many dieters, weight loss is temporary.

Remember weightwatchers is big business and will do what it has to to keep that business.I lean to the NIH review (Methods for voluntary weight loss and control. Technol Assess Conf Statement; 1992 Mar 30-Apr 1. Bethesda (MD): National Institutes of Health, Office of Medical Applications of Research; [1992].
