  • Objective bulimic episodes were not linked to poorer weight loss results.
  • Mean weight loss was 18.2 kg for completers and 10.3 kg for the full sample.

    • Conclusions:

    • A continuing care, self-help program facilitated substantial long-term weight loss.
    • Effective weight loss was observed in individuals with and without frequent binge eating.
