Table 2.

Percentage of subjects according to weight category at follow-up. Depending on their body weight at follow-up (2 to 11 years after beginning the program), subjects are placed in the present table in categories ranging from "Heavier than before program" to "Weight loss of more than 25% of initial body weight". For each follow-up period, percentage of subjects who maintain a 5% or a 10% loss from initial body weight is indicated.
