    Are you using a food scale?

    If you have successfully lost 7 stone, whatever you were doing was working but you may find you need to be more accurate (and more patient) for the final stretch.

    When you start out with a lot to lose you have a lot more wiggle room for logging errors, additionally if you're not weighing your portions out, it can be easy for portions to slowly increase without your noticing.

    This pic illustrates how easy it can be, particularly with higher calorie items

    Also if the exercise is new and/or increasing in intensity, you may be retaining water whilst your muscles repair themselves.

    It's always a combination of having a good plan (MFP is pretty good, but be careful with the exercise calories-- maybe eat half back) and good logging (food scale, cup measures, etc.) With these tools, you cannot fail! Best of luck.
