I want to start building muscle so that my weight loss will be sustained. Is Pilates a good option to do this?

    No, not really. You will want to lift. A very good beginner program is Stronglifts.

    Pilates is awesome for gaining body control, and some strength gains, but it's mostly stretching, and mobility in my experience. You'll want some resistance training to keep those muscles and even build them.

    Stronglifts
    Starting Strength
    A GOOD powerlifting personal trainer
    New Rules of Lifting for Women

    A few good places to start.
