Hi there
I got to my target of 8.11 in the summer & then took my eye off the ball for one reason or other & went up to 9.5! So, I went back to the beginning & started afresh.......

Keep a daily food diary
Gave myself an 11 week challenge of losing 0.5-1lb a week taking me to Xmas
Stay on plan 100%, which I have for 2 months now
No alcohol, which was my downfall as it gave me the munchies the next day
Upped my fluid intake & drink at least 2 liters of NAS a day
Keep active with an exercise you enjoy
Most of all.....enjoy the plan as it works as Im now back down to 8st 11.5lbs

Yes staying at target is quite hard. I think to be honest harder than losing although many would argue that case! Why not ask your c about this and perhaps ask her if you could sit in on the new member talk. This may refresh you and you can start the week with renewed optimism. You will get back to target I dont doubt that. As others have said, just go back to basics. And think of the money you will save again!
