- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated whether having a weight loss experience that lives up to one's expectations is related to maintenance in a group of successful weight losers participating in the STOP Regain trial. Participants who lost body weight within the past 2 years were randomly assigned to a maintenance program delivered either face-to-face or via the Internet or to a control group. The authors found that failure to meet weight loss expectations were not related to subsequent weight maintenance outcomes.
