Why 95% of People Regain Their Weight Loss — And How to Be the 5% Who Don’t...

A before and after photo of a lady in her underwear showing significant fat loss with the text '20 months later' on the photo demonstrating how long she has maintained her results.


Almost any diet can help you lose weight — but 9 out of 10 people gain it all back. It’s not a willpower problem — it’s a skills gap. Losing weight and keeping it off require completely different strategies — and most people are only taught the first.


Why weight regain happens


Research tracking thousands of people who have successfully maintained significant weight loss reveals a few surprising truths:


  • Weight loss comes from reducing calories. Almost any plan that cuts calories will work at first. That’s why diets can feel effective initially.

  • Weight maintenance comes from movement. People who keep the weight off long-term average 60 minutes of physical activity every day — far more than standard exercise guidelines.

  • Tracking matters. Regularly monitoring your weight and progress helps you catch small regains before they become bigger setbacks.

  • Metabolic flexibility helps. Your body’s ability to efficiently switch between burning carbs and fats can make maintaining your weight much easier.

  • Mindset is key. The ability to recover from setbacks without giving up entirely separates those who maintain from those who regain.


If you’ve struggled to maintain weight loss in the past, this isn’t a personal failure — it’s simply that you weren’t taught the skills for long-term maintenance.


A Real-Life Example: Nichola’s Story


Nichola has been with me for 2 half years now. At the time of the above photo it was 20 months. She’s maintained her results by regularly joining my 6-Week Challenges and is now thriving as a member of my 'Jen’s Inner Circle' group.


Her journey shows that staying “around the fire” — staying consistent, engaged, and supported — is the real key to keeping weight off. Nichola didn’t just rely on a short-term diet; she built lifetime habits that work for her lifestyle.


How to Break the Regain Cycle


This is where structured guidance makes all the difference. When you join one of my programs, you’re not just following another diet plan. You’re learning how to:

  • Lose weight effectively and sustainably — without cutting out entire food groups.

  • Build movement into your day so staying active becomes effortless.

  • Track your progress and stay accountable with regular check-ins.

  • Support metabolic flexibility through smart nutrition choices.

  • Bounce back from setbacks with practical, realistic strategies.

These aren’t just temporary fixes — they’re lifetime skills that help you stay in the 5% who keep their weight off.


Take the First Step


If you’re ready to move from short-term results to long-term success, here’s how to get started:

  • 6-Week Challenges – Perfect for kickstarting results and learning sustainable habits.

  • Jen’s Inner Circle – Ongoing workouts, recipes, and support to make maintenance second nature.


💬 Be like Nichola — stay consistent, stay supported, and finally feel confident that your results will last.
