We want to hear your story, too! If you've lost 30 pounds or more and have kept it off for at least one year, you can join the registry. One of the most popular myths about weight loss is that everyone who loses weight will eventually gain it back. The National Weight Control Registry is a research study which has exploded this myth and shown that successful weight loss is indeed possible. Developed by Rena Wing, PhD, at Lifespan, Brown University and the University of Pittsburgh, and James Hill, PhD, at the University of Colorado, the National Weight Control Registry has identified more than 4,000 individuals who have lost significant amounts of weight and kept it off for long periods of time. How to Join Recruitment for the registry is ongoing. If you are at least 18 years of age and have maintained at least a 30 pound weight loss for one year or longer you may be eligible to join our research study. Research Findings To date, we have published articles describing the eating and exercise habits of successful weight losers, the behavioral strategies they use to maintain their weight and the effect of successful weight loss maintenance on other areas of their lives. Success Stories Registry members' weight loss stories are diverse and inspiring. Read about some of our members. Related Links Successful weight losers are knowledgeable about health, nutrition and physical activity. This is a list of sites that can provide you with sound advice about eating, activity and achieving a healthy body weight. For Current Registry Members Have you relocated over the past year?
