OK, I'm a little late to this conversation. But I actually do believe with a life style change, the body does kind of resets. But it can quickly regain if you allow it, which in a sense is another reset.
7 years ago I used to be 537lbs(edit: 8 yrs ago). I was able to get that down to 300lbs through lifestyle changes. I was back and forth from 300 to 340lbs for past 3 years....well, actually until this past December.
Past December I got fed up and started making further lifestyle changes and am down to 280lbs and working hard on getting down to 220 by end of year.
Personally I believe it's an issue that is different to all of us. Each one of us has to figure out what kind of lifestyle we are willing to accept and willing to work for. Do we find it to be acceptable to be overweight? I do believe it is much more mind over body in many of our cases.
I myself am fed up and don't at all find it acceptable to weigh as much as I used to or currently do. Time for a permanent change.
