So you’ve lost some weight, now the question is, how do you maintain it? It is important to have good habits and that you’re consistent with your daily routine. Focus on having a healthy diet, getting exercise, taking care of your other health conditions and your mental health, and getting good sleep each night – these are all things that impact your overall health.

Both medicine and exercise can help with weight loss maintenance. Medicines that are FDA approved can be taken long-term for weight management. They work best with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. At least 225 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity are recommended each week -- that’s about 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise for 5 days.

It is also important to remember that different things can affect your weight at different times in your life. But the ultimate goal is for you to maintain a weight that is healthy for you and that you are in a healthier place than when you first started your weight loss journey.
