Well done, that is a great loss! I have been at my target for about 5 months, I lost just over a stone. I still weigh in every 2-3 weeks just to keep me on track and also so I can stay a member of the website. In a way I think it is easier when you are losing weight as you have the plan to stick to. I am 2.5 lbs over my target (dd's 18th last week so lots of cake, champagne and a couple of meals out!) at the moment so I am having a week or two on plan to try and reduce this.

I still pretty much stick to the SW diet but add in a few extras like cereal for breakfast and a roll at lunch, a few extra syns here and there etc. I also found that all the cooking and less processed food has worked wonders for my IBS so that is another reason why I stick to it.

Good luck with getting to your target!

I'm just a few weeks into being a target member and i'm finding it a little tricky.

I stoped just short of 5 stone loss as I was about to go on holiday, then it was Easter, then I'm away again in May.

The holiday went well. Two nights with DH, child free, in Venice. We ate less than i expected but fairly freely. The weather was hot so drank lots of soft drinks rather than alcohol. Easter morning we had a big breakfast then as much chocolate as we could eat - and that was quite a bit.

I shockingly lost 1/2 lb. worst thing that could have happened. I then had two weeks with the children off, the weather got warm, i felt cocky about having pigged out and still lost. We have had wine three nights a week, extra snacks most days and a few ice creams. Unsurprisingly reading that back I had a 2.5lb gain.

I'm on plan most days. I'm nearer to 15 syns. Over some days. The bit I'm strugling with is cutting back to compensate for the over eating. I'm fairly happy with my figure, things are fitting well, i've done the diet and lost the weight. I know I need some cut back to compensate days, but sort of feel i shouldn't have to as well because i've worked so hard at losing the weight.

I'm hoping that now the children are back at school and i've no big birthdays or events coming up (I don't have a wild social life) i can eat a reasonable amount and maintain/ drop at 1/2lb a week and develop a natural balance rather than binge and fast.
