[quote=Anonymous]The best way to do it is to decide now that you are already at 135 pounds( or whatever your goal is). What do you need to do to maintain 135pounds? How much food? How much exercise?

Then start doing that. This way, it becomes a lifestyle change and not a diet. If you approach it from a " dieting to lose" standpoint, once you have lost, you will lose motivation and start eating too much and/ or exercising too little

This is my approach, and it's working very well. I am 5'8", and I am down to 175 from 188.  I was 148 before my first pregnancy and look very nice at 148.

I decided that I am already 150 pounds, so I eat to maintain 150. It's not a diet because this is how I will continue eating for the next 10 years.  I made 1 change: cut out breakfast. And this is going to me my lifestyle forever: no breakfast, early lunch/ brunch.

My next step was adding exercise. I have added 30 minutes of dancing to my favorite music on most nights. The kids join in, so it's a fun activity. That's all the exercise I am willing to do as a lifestyle change for now.[/quote]
