Now that you have lost the weight you want and are pleased with the results, you will need to learn tips to maintain that weight loss.  How can this be done?

That’s right.  You heard about this one before.  Exercise.  You have already established a good exercise routine.  Don’t stop it because you have lost the weight you wanted.  You will need to keep up with it and add a few more exercise regime so that you don’t become more with the same old routine.  There is no fast rule on which exercise to do.

How about incorporating movement in your daily life.  Park the car the farthest from the store.  Take the stairs and not the elevator.  Walk your dog.  That is if you have one.  Mow the lawn, no matter how small it is.  The object is movement.  Movement burns calories and calories help you maintain your weight loss.

Another way of losing weight that you have already learned about – dietary control.  You still need that control to maintain your weight loss.  You will still need to learn to watch what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat.  Nothing has changed.  You will need more discipline now than ever before.  It is so easy to slip back into the old routine and before long your scales will reflect it as you watch those numbers creep up.

A support group is a good thing to belong to.  Being around other people who are also trying to maintain there weight loss will keep you motivated.  You will learn new tricks.  Like how to cook to maintain that weight loss.  This is a wonderful source of encouragement.  Online groups seem to be better because there are some free forums that offer the needed encouragement 24/7.

Remember when you were fat?  Picture that.  If you don’t like that mental picture, then staying on the right road to maintain weight loss will be that much easier.  A picture of you in the past and a picture of you in the present should motivate you to keep on the right dietary track.

Reorganize your pantry and your fridge.  Snacks should only be healthy ones.  Candy should be a treat and eaten few and far between.  Stuffing food in your mouth is not a good idea.  You need to check each and every food for the ingredients and the serving size.

If you don’t, before long you will step on the scales and then have to dig out your “fat” clothes.  Again, you will be at risk for overweight related illnesses and this time your body may balk as you once again attempt to lose weight.  In other words – it will be even harder to do so.
