I am at maintenance and it’s hard work.  So I’m on a search for some good support…

From Karla’s blog I discovered the The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) which is a research group investigating long-term successful weight loss maintenance.  It was developed to identify and investigate the characteristics of people who have succeeded at long-term weight loss, so check out their “research findings” page.  But for me to join the NWCR, I have to have lost  at least 30 pounds (check: 40 since 1/2010) and maintained a weight loss of at least 30 pounds for one year or more  (this is the challenge for 2011).  So, my goal is that on 2/19/11 (a couple months past a year of hitting my goal), I can sign up and join the registry.

So I think I’ll look to see if there is a maintenance widget I can add here to my blog…any ideas where I can find one?
