I am listening to this series of nutrition lectures an the lecturer mentioned some traits of successful losers that were identified in research from the National Weight Control Registry website:

78% eat breakfast every day. (Dedication/Commitment)
75% weigh themselves at least once a week. (Accountability)
62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week. (Lifestyle Change)
90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day. (Prioritize Health)

These are people who lost 30lbs or more and kept it off for more than 5 years. These are not WLS patients but I think the pattern of behavior with the successful people resonates loud!

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

I'm all there except for the TV, I think. My partner watches a **** load of TV, so I think I mus****ch about 10 hours or so a week because I often get sucked into a show he's watching. Sigh.....
