Welcome

Welcome to our new blog! The Refuse to Regain Maintainers are a group of successful weight loss maintainers who meet monthly, under the guidance of leading obesity specialist, Dr. Barbara Berkeley.

Members of our group have undergone a life conversion or are seeking to achieve that goal. In other words, we've not only lost weight, but support serious changes in our lives. Our eyes are open to the dangers of our food environment and physical culture, and we're constantly seeking knowledge and support to avoid them.

Our group is always looking for ways to build the population of our "maintenance island." As working maintainers, we commit to spending some time each month working on community initiatives that allow us to share what we've learned and help throw a life preserver to those who are going under. This blog is just one of those efforts.

Our mission is to teach others how to maintain while we teach ourselves.  The group remains creative, open to new ideas, and willing to experiment.

We look forward to sharing our experiences with you, and hope you'll learn as much as we do.
