Maintain your ideal weight

(HealthDay News) -- The weight-loss battle isn't over once you lose the extra pounds. The challenge becomes keeping it off.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain a healthy body weight:

Incorporate physical activity into your day as much as possible.
Keep healthy foods at home at eye level. Avoid being tempted by junk food.
Practice healthy stress management techniques, such as progressive relaxation.
Engage a buddy in your fitness program, making exercise a social affair.
