Health Tip: Keep Off the Weight You've Lost

Don't neglect exercise

(HealthDay News) -- Maintaining weight loss can be more difficult than losing it in the first place.

The American Council on Exercise suggests how to help maintain weight loss:

• Weigh yourself every week.
• Move as much as possible, walking frequently, watching less TV and even fidgeting while you're seated.
• Stock your kitchen with plenty of nutritious treats.
• Place your gym bag near the door, and keep any home exercise equipment where you can frequently see it.
• Make exercise part of your social life.
• Measure your waist once monthly and make changes to your diet and exercise routine if your waistline starts growing.
