Actually, your odds of success are much better than this. I can't get the link to work for the National Weight Control Registry, but the folks who *really* know the data on this say that 20% of people who lose 30kg or more can keep it off for long periods of time. Given what a huge undertaking that is, 20% is OK. Much better than 5%!
They've also taken a look at the habits shared by those who have successfully maintained their weight loss. These are all habits which, once you know what they are, you can cultivate. (Most of them I suspect you are/already have.)I think your odds are actually pretty good, given how you've gone about this.
