    Since you are already at a good weight for your height, I would suggest thinking about body re-composition. You should try a weight training program such as stronglifts (there are also others). There are some threads about that in the maintenance section.

    Just edited the above post to include a helpful link - start there and try posting any questions in another thread or maybe more people will chime in on this one. I'm not there yet so I don't want to give you the wrong advice but good luck!
