Losing weight is a challenge, but keeping it off can even more difficult without a good plan and healthy habits.
Here are suggestions to help you keep the weight off that you've worked so hard to lose, courtesy of the American Heart Association:
Understand what works best for you -- such as what rewards best motivate you, what tempts you most, and what helps you resist those temptations.
Be realistic about how much weight you should lose.
Maintain a good balance of calories taken in versus calories burned.
Get enough exercise. Even a brisk daily walk can help you keep those pounds off.
Keep notes and records of your food intake and daily activity.
Plan your meals, and make healthy food choices at the grocery.
Don't weigh yourself more than once a week.
Plan ahead for holidays, special occasions, and other times when you may be likely to splurge and take in additional calories
