Efforts to improve a person's general well-being can lead to healthy eating and living habits. Proper mental health supports a person's ability to take care of their physical health in every way - including nutrition, weight management, and exercise. Some people find it helpful to join a group like Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), Weight Watchers (WW), Overeaters Anonymous (OA) or others. Some dieters like to form their own self-help groups or seek help online. Trying to lose more weight at this point will require a great deal of effort and will almost certainly fail. It is difficult to determine the prevalence of successful weight loss maintenance. In fact, most people have lost weight several times in their lifetime. It is estimated that one in six overweight adults in the United States has successfully maintained a loss of at least 10% for at least one year. Those who are successful in maintaining their weight loss have established a regular exercise regimen and a careful diet.
