  > So weight loss was actually maintained for most people

Unless I'm mistaken, how can you interpret that from an article that claims that 57-82% of participants regained 25%-50% of their weight loss, with 24% regaining at least 75% of it? In just a bit more than a year and a half, too.

They still lost weight from their original amount right?

That's the key. They may have come up from their lowest, but they still better off.
