I still have about 8 pounds to lose, although I'm pretty happy with my current size/weight - I guess that's why I'm at a stand still, but I would quite like to lose the last half a stone!
What worked for me was making sure I saved enough points for snacks and treats - I suffer from low blood sugar if I don't eat every 2 or 3 hours. And the low fat frozen puds keep me sane. I have one most evenings - either a WW one, or a skinny cow one.
A typical day would be
Breakfast: Special K peach or red berries with skimmed milk - 2 points
snack: 2 ryvita with extra low fat cheese or an Alpen light bar - 1 or 2 points
Lunch: home made soup ( 0 points ) with ryvita ( 1 point ) or a sandwich ( up to 4 or 5 points )
snack: fruit or ryvita.
Dinner: What I've always cooked really, but paying careful attention to portion size ( I eat much less pasta and rice than I used to ). And I bulk out with vegetables, and instead of using oil to cook with, I use Frylight spray which is 0 points. I make homemade chips with this out of potato or butternut squash ( 0 points ), and lots of other roast veg. Instead of creamy or cheesy sauces, I stick to tomatoey ones. So we usually have home made curry, spag bol, pasta with prawns, low fat sausages with veg and rice, chicken breasts with veg, stir frys - all the usual stuff.
What really helped me was eating at 5.00pm with the kids instead of waiting to eat with DH in the evening - this stopped me getting hungry in the afternoon and binging. Then I usually just have a quick snack or a treat in the evening.
Exercise and lots of water also really makes a difference.
