I did that when I lost a lot of weight a few years ago. I realised that my body needed to get used to the new weight and settle in there before I tried to go down again. So I would have a break every half a stone (7 pounds) wait for a month or so for me to get used to that being my new 'real' weight and then off I'd go again. Of course every time I had a break I naturally put on a couple of pounds but I didn't stress about it because I knew that was just the usual 2 pounds water weight that you lose straight away when you first go on a diet. I lost 30 pounds in total and it was fairly slow but it stayed off and I've never gained it again.
