Debra Sapp-Yarwood, a fiftysomething from Kansas City, Missouri, whos studying to be a hospital chaplain, is one of the three percenters, the select few who have lost a chunk of weight and kept it off. She dropped 55 pounds 11 years ago, and maintains her new weight with a diet and exercise routine most people would find unsustainable: She eats 1,800 calories a dayno more than 200 in carbsand has learned to put up with what she describes as intrusive thoughts and food preoccupations. She used to run for an hour a day, but after foot surgery she switched to her current routine: a 50-minute exercise video performed at twice the speed of the instructor, while wearing ankle weights and a weighted vest that add between 25 or 30 pounds to her small frame.

Maintaining weight loss is not a lifestyle, she says. Its a job. Its a job that requires not just time, self-discipline, and energyit also takes up a lot of mental real estate. People who maintain weight loss over the long term typically make it their top priority in life. Which is not always possible. Or desirable.

What a crock of shit. Just lol "one of the three percenters" and "her small frame."

Lol didn't even say her height or weight just that she lost 55lbs. Either she doesn't have a small frame or she was incredibly obese.

Also lol "no more than 200g carbs" boo hoo you cant have cake for breakfast everyday.
