Since publication the authors noticed a missing data point in one figure (Fig. 4c) and a mistake in the interpretation of this figure, which made its way into the abstract, results and discussion sections of the paper.

Association between weight regain (kg) from 6 to 24 months and (a) GLP-1 measured at baseline, (b) GLP-1 measured after weight loss, and (c) changein GLP-1 from baseline to 6 months.

Changes to the Abstract are as follows:

Results section

Original: ‘Weight regain between 6 and 24 months (6.1 ± 6.3 kg, P < 0.05) was correlated positively with change in GLP-1 (r = 0.5, P = 0.037) and negatively with GLP-1 at baseline (r = −0.7, P = 0.003) and after weight loss (r = −0.7, P = 0.005).’

Correct text: ‘Weight regain between 6 and 24 months (6.1 ± 6.3 kg, P < 0.05) was negatively correlated with GLP-1 at baseline (r = −0.7, P = 0.003) and after weight loss (r = −0.7, P = 0.005).’

Conclusion section

Original: ‘Weight regain is more likely with lower fasting GLP-1 and greater reduction in GLP-1 after weight loss, but psychological aspects of eating behaviour appear as important in attenuating weight-loss maintenance.’

Correct text: ‘Weight regain is more likely with lower fasting GLP-1at baseline and following weight-loss, but psychological aspects of eating behaviour appear as important in attenuating weight-loss maintenance.’

Changes to the Results are as follows:

Appetite-related hormones section

Original: ‘Body weight regain from 6 to 24 months was positively correlated with changes in fasting GLP-1 concentration (r = 0.5, P = 0.037)…’

Correct text: ‘Body weight regain from 6 to 24 months was weakly correlated with changes in fasting GLP-1 concentration (r = 0.5, P = 0.051)…’

Figure 2

Original description: ‘Fig. 2 Individual changes in body weight (kg) between (a) 0–6 months and (b) 6–24 months. Grey dashed lines indicate mean value (- - -). Body weight (kg) at baseline, 6 months and 24 months for each participant.’

Correct text: ‘Fig. 2 Body weight (kg) at baseline, 6 months and 24 months for each participant. ’

Changes to the Discussion are as follows:

Sentence starting on line 9

Original: ‘This study suggests that individuals with higher fasting plasma GLP-1 concentrations and lower reduction in GLP-1 during diet-induced weight loss, and an ability to manage emotional difficulties without compensatory eating can be expected to be more successful at weight-loss maintenance.’

Correct text: ‘This study suggests that individuals with higher fasting plasma GLP-1 concentrations and an ability to manage emotional difficulties without compensatory eating can be expected to be more successful at weight-loss maintenance.’

Final paragraph of discussion

Original: ‘In conclusion, our findings imply that habitually higher fasting GLP-1 concentrations and lower reduction in GLP-1 during diet-induced weight loss form part of a favourable biological profile for long-term weight-loss maintenance…’

Correct text: ‘In conclusion, our findings imply that higher fasting GLP-1 concentrations form part of a favourable biological profile for long-term weight-loss maintenance…’
