The weight loss is an activity which most of people performs worldwide but there are many few that gets the desired results and the main reason for this is the lack of consistency during the weight loss routine.

A recent study has shown that the more people used in the weight management website, the more weight loss they obtained.

The study was actually taken by Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research and it got published online in the open access Journal of Medical Internet Research.  The study was funded by National Institutes of Health and it evaluated a website that facilitated internet based weight maintenance intervention and it involved 348 participants.

According to study lead author Kristine L. Funk, MS, RD, a researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore “Consistency and accountability are essential in any weight maintenance program. The unique part of this intervention was that it was available on the Internet, whenever and wherever people wanted to use it”.

The internet based weight maintenance system also gets so successful because it involved competition among the people who consistently log on to the system and record their weight and then compare it with others. Another thing that led the participants towards the weight loss was that participants must have to lose at least 9 pounds in order to remain in the trial of weight loss.
