The National Weight Control Registry
The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) is a research study of 10K participants who have lost 30 lb (~14 kg) and kept it off for at least a year. Anyone adult fitting that description may apply. Registrants answer a questionnaire at least annually about their weight maintenance, and researchers may reach out from time to time between those annual questionnaires for their specific studies. Data from maintainers have been used in dozens of published studies.
The average member of the registry has lost 66 pounds and kept it off for 5.5 years. The registry population is 80% female (mean age 45, weight 145), 20% male (mean age 49, weight 190). More data like that here.
Today's topic is from the NWCR findings:
- 78% eat breakfast every day.
- 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
- 62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
- 90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day.
So how do you line up with that?
Are you a breakfast eater? How often do you weigh your body? How is your TV habit? Tell us about your exercise!
