Keeping the weight off is a challenge for Maureen McCormick.

After she dropped down to 116 lbs. on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, the former Brady Bunch star appeared on the cover of OK! in Nov. 2007.

“I’ve gained ten of it back, but I just try to watch it,” she tells OK!  at a CMT party in Nashville. “It’s really hard because I’m 5'3" and I’m little. It’s really difficult. You have to really watch it and you have to really exercise. Especially when you’re 51 years old.”

The actress kickboxes, swims and jogs under the guidance of a trainer. But keeping the weight off has become more difficult than losing it in the first place.

“I love to eat, I love food and I’m short, so five pounds makes a huge difference. My biggest fault is that I love sweets. I love chocolate and sugar. I have to really watch that. I love Baskin Robbins chocolate mint ice cream and See’s candy. That’s my biggest downfall.”
